Is it possible to create an adhoc network between g3 wallstreet (proxim skyline card) and g4 imac (airport card) with beta 5 driver i.e with no airport base station? Both computers os x.2. If this isn=B9t possible will beta 6 fix this and if so when is it scheduled for release? Is there any workaround in the meantime? Many thanks for any suggestions. andy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= - --------------------------------- ANDY LOVELL =20 http://www.lovelly.com an...@lo...=20 mb. 07976 279 048 64 Cheriton Square London SW17 8AE 020 8673 4115 |

Well, you're right... I was able to share out an AppleTalk printer from a wired Mac, and the Wallstreet found it and was able to print to it... from any OS X app. Unfortunately, the Wallstreet is running Office 98 in Classic, and the shared printer doesn't show up in the Chooser, since (I presume), the Chooser, when the Laserwriter icon is selected, is looking for an AppleTalk printer.

hi, has anybody replaced the internal card in a titanium with a more powerful model (without antenna, and connection to the built in antenna)? the connections should be the same, as the internal airport card slot is a modified pc card slot, right? i would love to exchange my apple card with a 200mW (Demarctech ReliaWave or similar)! michael. |

I am interested in using the Senao's EnGenius Long Range Wireless LAN PC Card, but the University of Iowa uses Cisco equipment. Currently, the only cards that work on campus are the Cisco 350 series and the AirPort. My questions are twofold: 1. Does the opensource driver suppport LEAP? 2. Does anyone know if this card can even negotiate a LEAP connection. Any response would be welcome.

Emmanuele, Follow this process (Remember Beta 5 ONLY works with 10.2, use Beta 4 for 10.1.x) Uninstall the earlier versions Install Beta 5 driver Restart your machine (this step is used by some and not others, it doesn't hurt to do) Install the Beta 5 driver again (that's right install it a 2nd time. Restart your machine Open System Preferences and choose the Wireless Pane Enter your Network Name and get a signal. click Save. Open the Network Pane and make sure your settings are correct. Click Save. You should be good to go.... Have fun surfing Wirelessly.

Ok, but...listen what happened to me: I installed the macsense driver, then I heard of the freeware driver and I installed also this one. But the freeware driver did not work, perhaps because of the other one installed. Then I run the macsense uninstall script to remove the macsense driver and to my surprise the script removed the freeware driver. How can it be? I just want to remove the shareware driver to make the freeware driver work. Any suggestions? Thx a lot Emmanuele > Thanks for the information.

Usually, you will find something. If the event just happened, it will be at the bottom (most recent) part of the log. It is a little surprising to me that the unix syslog process which records the errors (at least it is called syslog in System V, not sure about BSD or OSX which is based on BSD) doesn't make something bounce up and down in the Dock to give you some notification of an error event.

I also am having trouble with the Signal meter application. However I do not get an error. I launch it and nothing happens. Also is there anyway to detect open networks around you? A scanning application, perhaps... The only way I've been able to log on to them is if I know the network name. I am running OS X.2.1 on a wallstreet with orinoco silver and the b5 driver. Thanks in advance for your help. and also, thanks Lee for the suggestions about WEP. I'll check with my network guy and see if he can figure out what I'm doing wrong. ~Natalie |

I just printed from a G3 PowerBook with Orinoco Gold to a printer ethernet-connected to my G4 Quicksilver, both computers using Jaguar. I set the Sharing preference on the G4 to Printer Sharing. I deleted all the deletable printers in the Print Center on the PowerBook, then used the remaining printer to print. (The printer showed up in the Print Center "magically.") Thanks to Bruce Thomson and others who have posted helpful comments and suggestions. Happy and amazed, Ev |

Enter the numerical key into the wirelessdriver panel just as it's entered into most standard wireless routers, with no prefix. (Apple's Airport basestation uses a key in some other form.) |

Well I guess if you consider an AppleTalk printer "not physically connected", then yes. I would say that as a rule any printer that is accessible to a computer (server) in the Print Center can certainly be shared by that server simply by turning on Printer Sharing under the Sharing System Preferences panel. So, if you have one server on your network which has Appletalk and/or USB connectivity to any number of printers, then that server can share those printers for the benefit of the rest of the computers on your network. The other computers need not have AppleTalk connectivity because the Jaguar printer sharing is clearly done over IP. On the "other systems", don't define any printers explicitly, simply note that all the shared printers will magically pop up in the Print Center as soon as the print server shares them. I think that it is probably a good idea in general to reduce confusion on the part of the printers to do this; that is to have one machine share all the printers and the other systems use the shared printers instead of defining printers themselves. Or not. It was just a thought.

OK... Give MacSense a break. I built that installer for them a while back. They haven't done anything to hide the origins of the driver and, as far as I can tell, are only selling it if you buy the CD. It's extremely difficult to time limit a driver under OS X. MacSense has been very supportive of our efforts and has licensed the new source base I've been writing for use with their USB adapter. Much of this work will likely see it's way into open source soon, but not until it's ready. Sorry folks, this won't include my USB code - that was done under contract and will stay closed source until MacSense sees fit to release it on their own. -Rob On Monday, October 14, 2002, at 12:47 PM, Peter Truskier wrote: > This is pretty nasty.

The driver is identical to the WirelessDriver, the BSD license we use allows commercial entities to use WirelessDriver code in commercial products as long as they acknowledge us in their license. If you run their installer, you'll see the familiar license agreement we use. The BSD license is what allows Apple to use BSD unix in OS X...boot into single use mode and you'll see copyright University of California in the first couple of lines. Not all open source licenses are the same. I think the BSD license is the "most free" and open of the commonly used licenses.

I have installed the software in a similar setup (be it a gold card rather than a silver). I noticed the icon in the menu bar prior to installing the software. Possibly, it is Jaguar that shows the icon by itself, not the driver doing it. Strangely enough, I have had to check the 'driver' line in the installer program (choose the special installing button when running the installer). It appeared that only the two lower lines of the three installable items were checked. Make sure that this is not the case with you, and that upon installing, you install all three items. Since I discovered this, the orinoco works like a charm, putting spells on my Airport Base station from a range that I could not have hoped to dream of when using the built-in airport card. The only 'drawback' is that Appletalk is only active on one of the cards. TCP/IP runs happily on both cards simultaneously, with each card having its own IP address from the DHCP server in the Airport base station. Very funny. Cheers, Ard (from the couch in the living ;-) |

Any comments on the 'universal' driver being sold by MacSense? http://www.xsense.com/product/broadband/aerouni.html It is currently in beta. Most curious is when you examine the current features and the README files. The resemblance to this Opensource driver is unmistakable. I thought Open source software could never be sold for profit?? **************************************** Scott M.

Printer Sharing worked for Jeff and myself. My PowerBook G4 appears to enter deep sleep because I enabled sharing on my desktop system only. It (QuickSilver dual 1GHz) never enters deep sleep. I was under the impression that it was due to the Initio BlueNote SCSI card failure to support deep sleep, so now there are at least two things that inhibit deep sleep for me. Perhaps it is reasonable. After all, you are declaring your system to be a File/Print server so maybe it should never sleep so as to be always vigilant for work to do. If the server was in deep sleep, it would take a long time to get it back awake to service some request. on 10/14/02 12:04, Brian Fountain at yo...@ma... wrote: > The Beta 5 Wireless Driver does not support AppleTalk.

The short answer is "No." The driver does not yet support AppleTalk, though I know they have been working on this for the 9 months or so I've been using the driver. I'd recommend, if it's possible in your environment, setting up printing via IP, which should work OK.

Is there any wireless PCI card that has a OS X (Jaguar) driver? I want to put one in a Blue & White G3 which does not accept an airport card, but I have not found one that has an OS X driver? Am I correct? ------------------------------- Jeffrey S. Friedman, Ph.D. President Interactive Inventions Inc.

Using the wireless driver with OS X Jaguar, should I be able to access the printer on my network? I can access the internet and my desktop Mac from my PowerBook G3 (bronze keyboard) using a LINKSYS PCI card with no problem, but when I choose PRINT CENTER on my PowerBook and choose AppleTalk/Local Apple Talk Zone, no printers appear (the Laserwriter does show up on my desktop computer). No matter what settings I make in Print Center (i.e. Directory Services), the Laserwriter does not show up. Should I be able to access the printer?
