[Wirelessdriver-support] Bad beta5 or Network DHCP configuration?

[<mil...@ma...>]

I have downloaded beta 5.1 to 10.2  and after second installation the 
Ethernet Adaptor (en1)port appeared in Show in the Network window. The 
same window, Optional Location AutomaticConfigure, Using DHCP, showed 
numbers of self-assigned IP Address and at the bottom there was 
Ethernet Address also with numbers and letters.
I looked for WirelessConfig pane but it wasn't as in beta4 in the 
Preferences but as a separate appl. in the Applications.I filled the 
Network Name and got strong signal. However, I could not, after many 
tries, open IE browser. I always got a message that the server is not 
responding. As a result i couldn't use wireless fast connection.My 
dial-up connection works fine but about 50x (fifty times) slower.

I would like the know if the problem is with the beta5.1 software or 
the Network DHCP configuration.How come I am getting strong signal but 
the browser wouldn't open? Beta4 and 10.1.5 worked flawlessly with 
Farallon Skyline 11MB PC card in my TiPB 500.

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Jaguar, Lombard 400mhz, WaveLAN Silver, pretty darn good!

[David A. P. <da...@cn...>]

I tried that.  It didn't work. :-(

I have since upgraded to beta 5.1, but it works just as well new as 
before (though the password-to-hex feature would have come in handy 
before :-)

I think that Stefan has the solution here.....

Jason,

The file name is Extensions.kextcache and it is at:

/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache  not
/System/Library/Extensions/kextcache

So you want to look in the /Systems/Library/ folder for the file.

Nolan,

No flames here...  Others avoid the Terminal too, but sometimes it 
really is the easiest way to go.  But I don't think this file is 
easily removed without using the Terminal, here is how you can delete 
the file.

1. Open Terminal


2. At the prompt enter:

sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

You can copy and paste this from here and it should work for you. 
This is what it looked like in my terminal:

Last login: Sat Aug 31 15:16:38 on console
Welcome to Darwin!
[gee4:~] brianf% sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache



3. Then hit enter, you will see the following message and a prompt 
for you password


We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things:

         #1) Respect the privacy of others.
         #2) Think before you type.

Password:



4. Enter your password...  (you won't see it) and hit Return/Enter


5. You will now see your name prompt again....  Voila! the file is gone.


Hope this helps

Brian

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Re: beta5.1--can't select "Ethernet Adaptor (en1)"

[Jason H. <ja...@co...>]

I'm back up and running - can't say for sure the exact combination that
worked, but I suspect it had to do with two things, worth checking if you're
having trouble:

- Double checking the network name (number 4 below). I did this several
times after restarts but not *every* time, and since I've had more than one
network name in that slot, sometimes it was pulling up the wrong one from
somewhere. (easy for me to miss, because the only difference in the names
was a space)

- Both times it's worked for me, I've had 2 identical WirelessDriver
PrefPanes in System Preferences. I don't know why it's like this, but I have
identical copies of the PrefPane in two different locations:
    
    /Library/PreferencePanes/
    /System/Library/PreferencePanes/

...did Apple change the preferred location of the PreferencePanes folder at
some point? Like I said, I'd been using b1 for a *long* time, so maybe there
are conflicting resources or something. Trying to delete the "old" copy
manually is part of what started my problems in the first place.

Anyway, I'm glad it's operational again, and I'm not going to mess with it
further unless I have to!

Good luck to those of you still having problems,
Jason

[Nolan H. <wa...@ea...>]

Stefan,

At the risk of flames, I don't know the first thing about using 
Terminal. That's why I use Macs, so I don't have to mess with things 
at this level.

So, give me a step-by-step on this: Are you saying that I should 
launch Terminal and then just type "sudo rm 
/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache" and then hit return?

I see the file from the Finder. I gather I can't just select and delete it.

thanks for your patience,
Nolan

[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: beta5.1--can't select "Ethernet Adaptor (en1)"

[Nolan H. <wa...@ea...>]

Brian,

Been there, done that--the uninstall script for Beta 4, the double 
install of Beta 5 with multiple restarts, that is.

I hit my problem at your Step 4: all the text windows in the Wireless 
driver pane are dimmed, so I can't enter the name of my AirPort 
network. Similarly, in the System Prefs's Network pane, the "Ethernet 
Adaptor (en1)" choice is dimmed and not available.

The AirPort is working, btw, because I've got it running on my G4 
DualGig. My Orinoco\Lucent card is showing in the menu bar but no 
lights.

So where am I making a wrong turn?

tia,
Nolan

[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: Try deleting the kextcache file!

[Jason H. <ja...@co...>]

Hmmm. I don't have that file (/System/Library/Extensions/kextcache).

My "en1" network setting disappeared on my first install of b5_1. I did the
'double install' and it came back. That was the day it worked. Since then,
in various iterations, I've seen it come and go. It's there now, but the
little light is blinking. I've also got two PrefPanes again.

Since my last diatribe, I've tried several more combinations, including
running the uninstall script first, installing b4 first and then upgrading,
etc.

Nothing output by the troubleshooting shell script looked suspicious to me
except this part:

-----

### wd command line tool status

/Users/jason/Desktop/Troubleshooting Info.command: WirelessConfig: command
not found

-----

I can provide the full output if someone wants to check it out. Or can
someone point me to a 'valid' one for a configuration similar to mine
(Lombard/Skyline) to do a comparison?

Thanks!

- Jason

[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: Try deleting the kextcache file!

[Greg B. <gb...@ma...>]

Hmm., well, before I received this suggestion, I tried installing the 
wireless software again, and this time it worked.

In looking back, the only thing I did differently was not to open the 
System Preferences:Network pane before rebooting. This time, I rebooted 
immediately after the driver install. Could this matter?

So everything is fine.

How fortuitous - I had just come across this issue of the my Skyline 
card not working upon the initial 10.2 install, and how mad I was that 
there were no drivers available - and the next day I saw the MacinTouch 
article!

Thanks

[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: beta5.1--can't select "Ethernet Adaptor (en1)"

[Brian <br...@co...>]

Hi,

For those of you having problems with the install, here is a 
suggestion list that seems to get most people going.

1. If you had a previous version, uninstall it.  Use the uninstaller 
that is in the utilities folder on the disk image. I do not know if 
this will uninstall a Beta 1 but it will un-install a Beta 4. Jason, 
you may need to use the Beta 1 uninstaller or manually remove the 
pref pane and extension.  Rob, any ideas?

2. Install twice. This is per Rob's installation instructions.

Some folks have followed this alternate routine successfully:

Uninstall old version
Restart
Install Beta 5
Restart
Install Beat 5 2nd time
Restart

3. Restart if you haven't already.

4. Go to System Preferences and open the Wireless Driver pane. Make 
sure your network is named and you have a signal.

5. Once you have a signal go to your Network pane and enable it under 
Network Port Configurations.  In my case when I went into the Network 
pane it informed me that it detected a new port.

That should be it...  but your mileage may vary.

Brian

[Wirelessdriver-support] en0 is default route

[<lo...@ol...>]

Hello,

I have a PB G4 400, OSX 1.1.5 5S66 and your beta4 driver works
perfectly, thanks a lot.

The wireless card is on en2 and is perfectly happy until I plug a
cable in the built-in ethernet port en0.
My guess is that, whatever 'route' configuration I use, en0 is
remains the default interface for the default route.

My goal was to have a local net on en0 with NAT/ipfw to en2.

Any help is welcomed,
Lo=EFc.

[Wirelessdriver-support] Try deleting the kextcache file!

[Stefan H. <hu...@ma...>]

Try deleting the Extensions.kextcache file using 

sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

in the Terminal. Check for typos, use it on your own risk

Afterwards reboot.

Solved the problem on my Wallstreet perfectly. Twice. Reproducable.

Rob, can you include the cache rebuild (ot trigger therefor) in the
installer? I guess it would solve a lot of problems. You have to rebuild
anyway after the August DevTools update, do you?

[Wirelessdriver-support] So far so good on WS/Jag

[goyaboy <go...@ma...>]

After my fiasco of crashes and a clean re-install of Jaguar on my WS, 
WirelessDriver b5.1 has been running well all day. The "double install" 
procedure outlined by Brian earlier was indeed necessary. After that, 
no problems ejecting, reinserting, sleeping, restarting.  I don't dare 
put my Sonnet Crescendo G4 card back in for the time being--I got word 
from Sonnet today that they just put a hold on the item until their 
software geniuses can work out a fix for numerous issues that have 
sprouted. I'm willing to attribute the crashes I had to some funky 
thing their card was doing to the system that in turn affected 
WirelessDriver.

[Wirelessdriver-support] No en1

[Greg B. <gb...@ma...>]

Installed the Beta 5 on a fresh 10.2 install, Powerbook G3 Wall Street, 
with a Farallon Skyline 11 mpbs card. OS X sees the card (I can eject 
it from the menu bar), but there is no en1 in the network settings (and 
no, its not "unchecked" in the Network Port Configurations - it's 
simply not there)

Uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted and even shut down - also  
changed the PCMCIA slot from upper to lower. No luck. Any other ideas?

Thanks for the help, and thanks for the effort behind this project.

[Wirelessdriver-support] WS/Jag/beta5.1--can't select "Ethernet Adaptor (en1)"

[Nolan H. <wa...@ea...>]

Hey all,

I followed the install beta twice routine. When I got to Network

my list of Network Port Configurations.

So naturally I can't get any farther than that.

What am I missing?

[Wirelessdriver-support] Two PrefPanes, No Connection

[Jason H. <ja...@co...>]

Hello all,

I had been running b1 on my Lombard (with a Farallon Skyline card) since the
early days of OS X with almost no problems. This week, I updated to b4, and
was planning to manually hack it to work when I upgraded to Jaguar, but by
the time I got around to doing it, b5 was out. I upgraded, installed b5, and
restarted. No connection.

Going to System Prefs I discovered I had 2 WirelessDriver PrefPanes.
Reinstalled. No go. Decided to just restart one more time and see what
happened. On reboot, I still had two PrefPanes, but the connection was up.
All was well for a day.

This evening, I lost my connection. I tried rebooting. I tried powering down
the card and reinserting it (which I tried the night before with no
problems). On insert, the system crashed.

Rebooted, still no go. Decided to try taking matters into my own hands.
Snooping around, I found the two copies of WirelessDriver PPane.prefPane.
One was in '/System/Library/PrefPanes' and the other was in
'/Library/PrefPanes'.

They appeared to be identical except for the creation and modification
dates, so I deleted the older one. Rebooted. Only had one PrefPane, but
still no connection. Tried reinstalling again, and the installer errored
out. Copied the newer WD PrefPane folder over to where I'd deleted the older
one and rebooted. Two PrefPanes again, still no connection. Reinstalled
without errors, rebooted, still no connection.

So now I am tethered to my cable modem. Doesn't seem like that PrefPane
folder belongs in both locations. Figure my best bet is to delete both
folders and start from scratch - but will that get everything?? Has this
sort of thing happened to anyone else? Suggestions?

Many thanks,
Jason

[Wirelessdriver-support] b5.1 + Wallstreet + Jaguar = success

[Ken T. <kf...@uc...>]

I had terrible luck with the first b5 and Jaguar, whereby even 
inserting my card (a rebranded Orinoco Silver called the "Avaya 
Wireless World Card Silver") would lead to kernel panics. The card 
inserted at boot time caused my PowerBook (with Sonnet Crescendo 
G3/500) to hang on the gray Apple screen.

I ran the uninstaller, installed the newest b5.1, and now the card 
works like a charm. I can FINALLY eject the card with the new Jag menu 
item and reinsert it later with no kernel panics. (Looks like they 
fixed that bug--the multiple language screen is the replacement for the 
white text on a black background that used to spill across the screen 
during OS X freakout sessions.)

Looks like I'm finally back to the Airport functionality that I enjoyed 
in OS 9.

[Wirelessdriver-support] MacSense Aero card is supported

[John C. <12f...@mi...>]

I had posted a request on sourceforge for support for the MacSense Aero
card. However, after a removal and re-install, the card works. I also had
to make sure to remove all of the previous MacSense software.

I have not been able to get WEP support working, but the card connects
just fine under Jaguar (10.2). MacSense is still offering only 10.1.x
support with no WEP and AppleTalk over IP only.

Thanks for all of your efforts.

[Wirelessdriver-support] Re: WS/Jag/beta5.1 stability report

[<re...@ix...>]

I installed beta 5.1 twice, as per instructions. Mostly, WirelessConfig 
is running well. Wallstreet 266/Lucent Gold / Jaguar 10.2 / SMC 
Wireless Router. But I am experiencing the same multilingual message / 
crash as goyaboy after ejecting and re-inserting the card. A possible 
work around is to eject the card via the menu bar (trying to eject the 
card with the eject button on the Wallstreet while asleep causes the 
system to wake up.) When you want to re-insert your card do it while 
the computer is asleep. I've done this a couple of time without the 4 
language gray screen system crash.

I also encountered the extremely long gray apple hang. I used the 
"shift+function+control+power" reset, then walked away for 15-20 
minutes and my wallstreet was back to normal. It now powers up and 
restarts in semi reasonable time, around 2-3 minutes.

Thanks again for the new Beta 5.1. Also, I had the Beta 4 with 
work-arounds working before Beta 5.1.

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] WirelessDriver 1.0.0 Beta 5.1 for OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) posted

[Brian F. <yo...@ma...>]

Rob,

The driver works fine...  thanks again.

It absolutely takes a double install...

The only issue I have had is when I booted up this morning at work....

It hung when it was trying to initialize the Network.  I had to force 
restart. It hung again trying to initialize the network, but then got 
past it an finished booting.

I had last used it at home with the wireless card. Here at work I am 
hardwired.  Up until this morning It would just boot up and I would 
then switch Locations under the Apple menu.

One other thing...  at work I am a different user on my machine so my 
login carries to the Windows network.  At home I use a different 
login...  what I had originally setup the machine with.

Any ideas?

Brian

As Brian reported this morning ...

Uninstall old driver ... Restart
Install new driver ... Restart
Install new driver again ... Restart
You're in business (at least I am)

Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] No en1

[Brian F. <yo...@ma...>]

I know this sounds obvious, so forgive me for asking....

Have you enabled it under Network Port Configurations?

Is the reverse true as well?  I'm afraid to try!
