I now have the Lucent Orinoco Gold working on both a G4 PB and G3 PB under 10.2 using the B5 driver. For some reason I had to install twice. The range on the G4 PB is superior by far when compared to the Airport card. W. William Gillette Strategic Management Consultant Information Strategy Advisers, Inc.

I start up Internet Connect, and see only an entry for a dialup access number; nothing else in the menu. I'm not sure what Internet Connect is for; it seems to be a shortcut to part of the functionality of the Network module in System Preferences (although I see a VPN item in one of the menus). |

I installed the wireless driver. It installed fine but the there is no
Ethernet Adapter (en1) or en2 to choose.
Below is the trouble shooting scripts I am trying to install this on a
powerbook G3. The wireless network card is a SkyLINE PN475
Thanks,
Mark

I have a Powermac Wallstreet G3 and have just installed the
Wireless Driver 5.1. for my silver Orinoco card. I can't get it to
work. In Network preferences I put "Built in Ethernet" because en1 or
en2 does not show up. Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks

It wasn't the Airport card which connected. I was out of its range and I had turned it off as well with Internet Connect before rebooting. It was definitely the Lucent card which made the connection after rebooting. I even got the Internet Connect warning message, "You do not have an active modem, AirPort, or PPPoE network port configuration" at the same time that the Lucent card picked up a valid (137.238.xxx.yyy IP address, a valid submask number, and was identified correctly by its ethernet address. I'm running with WEP disabled. My base station at home is the original model of the Apple Airport Base station. This does not support 128 bit encryption and the Gold card only does 128 bit encryption. I can connect the two as long as I am not using WEP. > The re-boot would have caused your system to look for available > network interfaces and connect with whatever was working.

Maybe the bug is in the Apple Internet Connect utility. It does not appear to be able to identify the Lucent (en2) service. What do people who have only a PC wireless card see in the Internet Connect menu? AirPort? Lucnet? Nothing? The wireless driver is working fine and I'm most pleased with your efforts. ---bwr |

Hi there First of all thanks for a splendind piece of work with the driver for jaguar, which isnatalled and works like a dream on my Lombard + Lucent orinoco silver card. I just woindered 9as you would be 3/4 of the way there already) if anyone had news of a diver for some of the PC world's USB based airport compatible machinery - my Old Powercoomputing clone runs under jaguar, and has USB, but no more PCI ports left.

It is possible that the new shell defaults in Jaguar are causing the problem with the troubleshooting script? I.e. messed up path settings in the default shell leading to problems with the script for new Jag users/wipe and install users? We may need to update the script to account for new default Jag installs.

If I were you I'd wait for the next release (if it ain't broke dont fix it), the new version does have a few extras like automatic Airport password conversion. You should not ever have to re-enter your passwords, try entering the network name and hitting tab. This should automatically retrieve your passwords from the keychain.

Bruce,
Is it possible that when you re-booted, your Airport card connected to
the Campus connection? Right now, the WirelessDriver only supports 128
bit connections with the Orinoco Gold card, it may be that your campus
network has 40/64 bit encryption and you are unable to connect with the
WirelessDriver/Gold card but the Airport card can connect to the 40/64
bit encrypted network. The re-boot would have caused your system to
look for available network interfaces and connect with whatever was
working. Often the network preference pane will show you the what you
last configured interface even though it is using a different interface
to connect currently. To test this you can turn off the airport card
from the Airport menuextra when you are connected to your campus
network...I'll wager that this will kill your connection.
I observe similar weird behavior with the network preference pane
currently. For example, I can boot without the 3rd party card and
connect with the Airport card, I then power off the Airport card off
via the menu extra and lose my connection, insert an orinoco silver
card and open the wirelessdriver prefpane and was connected
again----however en2 is still greyed out in my network preferences pane
even though I am connected via en2. I can confirm this with and
ifconfig -a command from the terminal. The Network prefpane is not
reflecting the current status of my network interface.
I think you have identified a bug in the network prefpane.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but when I disconnect the card, it does DISAPPEAR as an option within the Network Settings. Thanks for your continued help.

I got my SMC EZ Connect card working. It's an SMC2632W, Version 1.02. However, I could not get WEP to work at all. Great job on the driver! Aaron |

"I summarized a method for getting the driver installed a several days
ago. There should be no reason to log on as root to install it, however
you are correct that the installer should be improved (it will be--just
wait a little while). The real problem is that most people do not
provide accurate descriptions of their problems (e.g. you provide very
little description) and most of the problems are actually network
configuration / access point configuration problems rather than
wirelessdriver problems."
My TiPB 500MHz equipped with an internal Airport Card and a Lucent
Technology Ornico Gold card (the Lucnet card in the PC port yields much
better range; I haven't gotten around to opening the PB to remove
Airport Card) is running OS X 10.2 using the b5.1 driver. Works fine.
When I'm close enough to the wireless base station for the internal
card to get a signal too, I can switch from one to the other. Both are
working.
I took the PB to the library at a local college where I'm an authorized
user and had the same problem as others are reporting on the list. This
has to be a problem with Apple network settings not the the b5.1 driver.
This is what happened. The Lucent card was the active network device
when I removed it ("Power off card" is the active item in the menu bar
just below the grayed out "Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE"
identifier. When "Power off card" is chosen the lights on the card
turn off and the menu bar icon disappears. I put the PB to sleep, went
to the library, woke the computer up, and reinserted the Lucent card.
The Network configuration panel opened and the new network "College
Library" appeared in the "Connect to wireless network named:" box.
There was no signal strength. An examination of the Network Preferences
panel showed under the Ethernet Adapter (en2) choice with Configure:
Using DHCP that the PB had a self-assigned, 169.254.213.12 address and
a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask. I could not get a signal nor could I get a
legitimate IP address.
I created a new location calling it "College" and tried everything
again. No go. No signal.
I rebooted the computer. Everything worked. I had signal. I had a
legitimate IP address. I was connected.
Why did the reboot work? I don't know. The Internet Connect utility
only lists Airport, Internal Modem, and IrDA Modem Port in the
"Configuration:" box. Is OS X confused by my configuration with both an
Airport Card and a Lucent PC card? Why isn't the Lucent in the Internet
Connect configuration list. If I turn Airport off, I get a message "You
do not have an active modem, Airport, or PPPoE network port
configuration.
On the Network preferences panel with Network Port Configurations
shown, I have Ethernet Adaptor (en2), AirPort, Built-in Ethernet,
Internal Modem, and IrDa Modem Port listed and checked.
Since returning home, I have created a "Home" location. I get the no
signal, local IP address problem when moving and find that Powering off
card, removing it, and reinserting it solves the problem. i haven't
had to reboot.
Comments by yuriwho or someone? Is this the driver or a network
preferences/configuration problem possibly caused by my dual wireless
card configuration?

Can you boot in verbose mode without the card inserted (hold apple Apple-v during bootup) and tell us that last few console messages before your system hangs. Also, by a clean install do you mean an archive and install or an erase and install?

Hi Folks, Been using the wireless drivers under 10, 10.1, .1.2 and on up .1.5 for many many moons now with no issues. It's a PBG3-292, 320ram, 30gig hd. Upgraded to 10.2, no worries, upgraded wireless driver, system hangs on boot, just gets to the new apple logo screen and sits there. PC card lights never come on at all. Pull card, zap pram, reboot. Still hangs. Did a clean reinstall. Works great until I install wireless driver, then same issues. Any hints greatly appreciated. I don't want to go back to 10.1.5 but that's the next step....save me from that fate! Eric |

Can you be more descriptive? From the troubleshooting output you provided, it seems that a few of the standard commands are missing. Presumably, you elected not to install the BSD commands when you installed OS X or manually deleted them later. This cripples the amount of help we can provide. What is the configuration of your entire setup? (you can limit this to just the major components, but please to to include anythign that might be even distantly related) Your system does show the WaveLAN adapter as an interface. Are you saying that you can't configure it via the preference pane or that you can't connect to your network? -Rob On Friday, September 6, 2002, at 09:11 AM, Max Schanfarber wrote: > I can't configure orinoco gold. > THANKS FOR YOUR HELP > > > [localhost:~] maxschan% /Users/maxschan/Desktop/Troubleshooting\ > Info.command; exit > > ### system info > > ProductName: Mac OS X > ProductVersion: 10.1 > BuildVersion: 5G64 > Darwin localhost 1.4 Darwin Kernel Version 1.4: Sun Sep 9 15:39:59 > PDT 2001; root:xnu/xnu-201.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc > ppc750 > > ### wireless driver files installed > > /Users/maxschan/Desktop/Troubleshooting Info.command: command not > found: grep [15] > /Users/maxschan/Desktop/Troubleshooting Info.command: command not > found: grep [16] > /Users/maxschan/Desktop/Troubleshooting Info.command: command not > found: grep [17] > /Users/maxschan/Desktop/Troubleshooting Info.command: command not > found: grep [18] > /Users/maxschan/Desktop/Troubleshooting Info.command: command not > found: defaults [19] > /Users/maxschan/Desktop/Troubleshooting Info.command: command not > found: grep [19] > > ### wirelesscard info > > /Users/maxschan/Desktop/Troubleshooting Info.command: command not > found: grep [23] > /Users/maxschan/Desktop/Troubleshooting Info.command: command not > found: grep [24] > > ### network info > > lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 > inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 > en1: flags=8822<BROADCAST,b6,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > ether 00:02:2d:65:bc:ff > media: <unknown type> (DS11 <full-duplex>) status: active > supported media: none manual autoselect DS1 <half-duplex> DS1 > <full-duplex> DS2 <half-duplex> DS2 <full-duplex> DS5 <half-duplex> > DS5 <full-duplex> DS11 <half-duplex> DS11 <full-duplex> > en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,b6,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > inet 192.168.0.150 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 > ether 00:0a:27:e1:53:82 > media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active > supported media: none autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> > 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX > <full-duplex> > > ### wd command line tool status > > 2002-09-06 13:01:20.206 WirelessConfig[455] Iterations: 1 > Network Name: default, successful: Y > 2002-09-06 13:01:20.214 WirelessConfig[455] NO TO WEP > Network Name: default, successful: Y > Status: > Network: default > WEP Enabled:NO > Signal Strength:27 > logout > > > > [Process completed] > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old > cell phone?

Yuriwho was correct when he said many of the problems using the driver is in the setup of our network. This was the case with me. My location and show were set wrong. In the future would it be helpful to include the results of the trouble shooting command in my request for help? I know I speak for everyone in the Mac OSX user community when I say you guys working on processes such as these drivers have made great contribution to the computing community.

I don't know if this will help you, but just a datapoint for the record: I use the Orinoco gold on a Lombard (G3 Series Powerbook) and I got the (old) Wirelessdriver to work with Jaguar by using the second method described in message <A19...@ma...> to this list. It works as before, except that now I sometimes (always?) need to reenter my WEP key after rebooting. I haven't bothered with the new version (should I?). I wish you luck, of course, but I don't see how it is the responsibility of the Wirelessdriver developers to teach you how to become root. We're damn lucky that they wrote this driver and made it public, and I'd like to thank them now, in case I've neglected to before. Many thanks as well to Rob McKeever for monitoring this list and providing help. |
