The wirelessdriver is basically a port of Bill Paul's "wi" driver from FreeBSD to IOKit. Bill's drivers are all under a variation of the 4-clause BSD license (see <http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/wi/if_wi.c>), and to my knowledge so is wirelessdriver. It's gone through a series of maintainers--and if Rob has gone on to other things, perhaps it's time for someone else to volunteer to take it on, just as Rob did from Ben and Louis, the guys who did the original Darwin port. Just to fill in the history some, the IOXperts driver wasn't based on the "wi" driver--I used to work at Lucent, where I encounted the spaghetti code that constituted the WaveLAN/Orinoco driver at that time. After leaving Lucent I had some ideas about how to write such a driver "the right way", which eventually turned into the IOXperts driver. I was amused to note that when Bill wrote the first version of the wi driver, he also ranted against how Lucent had set things up :-), though he and I took somewhat different approaches. One note here: any further development on drivers for Prism and Orinoco based hardware is likely to be a labor of love, since the hardware is now obsolete and getting harder to buy. Only a few PRISM-based cards are left on the market, and even the latest Orinoco cards (based on Agere's Hermes 2.0 chips) don't work with this driver (or IOXperts's, for similar reasons). At IOXperts, we're looking into ways to support new features like WPA, in order to breathe a little more life into the 802.11b cards people already own, but it's not clear to me how much vendor support the PRISM family has left after being sold by Harris to Intersil, and by Intersil to Globspan/Virata (which was recently bought by Conexant)...

This summer, the reason we've been slow to responding to support requests are that: (a) our support inbox is swamped with spam, so we occasionally miss real email, (b) Apple has been making life difficult for our video and webcam products, so they have been getting most of the attention, and (c) We're a really small company. We got overextended this summer, I'm afraid (and that includes how often I monitor this mailing list, as you can see from the fact that it took me 3 weeks to respond to a note mentioning the company :-). However, we've been revamping our mail server to try to get rid of the spam problem, and will be doing a number of other things in the near future that should help. Hope this clears a few things up, Amanda Walker IOXperts, Inc. |

I have an AirPort Card in my powerbook and I'm running 10.3.5 First, the wireless network here at the university of michigan b-school has to means of connecting via wireless - neither of them works for me: 1) WPA-PSK, TKIP 2) WEP using key index = 2 Now I tried that driver on the site that says it works for 10.2. However, to my surprise, it didn't work for me in 10.3.5. Is there a fix for this available? Anything at all? whenever I go to the system preferences and go to Network I never see that er1/er2 stuff. Further, the wireless card preference doesn't let me enter anything. If someone could please let me know how to fix this, it would be much appreciated.

Could you specify the system version you use? You mention using this driver for iStumbler, being used to Apples talk-along-the-edge-of-truth I wonder if you also use it for wifi networking, ie. making TCP/IP connections ;-) I'd be interested to try out the networking option.

Another option is to try a different card that works with Apple's native driver. I picked up Buffalo's G54 CardBus card for use in my PBG4 on the advice of a member of this list and it works great with the regular AirPort driver -- I can use iStumbler etc just as if I had a regular internal card, and I get the nice AirPort signal strength meter in the menu bar. It was $20 after rebate, so keep an eye out for deals like that. The WirelessDriver worked really well for me for several years but roaming is so much easier with the "real" AirPort driver. The only caveat is that I don't think the card is really hotswappable using Apple's driver. Which kind of makes sense if you think about -- Apple doesn't expect anyone is going to be able to get an internal AirPort card out while the machine is running, so they must not have written any swapping code. But since I'm always online and never take the card out, this works great for me. brian @joannou.net >I too have grudingly admitted that >this project appears to be completely >halted and therefore I've purchased the >aforementioned IOXperts product. |

Folks, I do believe that the man who wrote the driver for ioxperts is the same person who was developing this driver. We were beta testers for the driver. He was paid for the ioxperts driver but this one was free. That's why there will be no further development on the free driver - ioxperts has a copyright on the finished product. That being said, we have come out smelling like a rose, getting an almost-finished product for free. The only problem I know with this driver is that the installer doesn't work right if you do not already have an "OTHER" section in your system preferences. Probably the reason you do not get responses with ioxperts is that the author has gone on to other projects. All new machines come Airport-ready, or with an Airport card installed. The only people who need this driver are people who have old machines (I am using it on my Lombard G3 and I am using the G3 as a web server, as the battery is dead and it isn't worth buying a new battery) So, if you can get this or the ioxperts driver to work, you have been able to extend the life and usefulness of your portable. If you cannot get either one to work, you may need to figure out another use for your PB. I've been on this list for 2-3 years, and that is my evaluation. I do read the messages and try to help when I can. But I have not seen the author post for many months. So enjoy what you have, and try to live with the minor problems that develop. Don't kvetch.

I too, walked this route. Meanwhile I have been disappointed in two ways. 1) preferences in MacOS 10.2 don't seem to stick. 2) questions via mail to their support or PR person got no answer. Apart from that, if you are happy to solve issue (1) in that you manually set your prefs each (rare) time that you (re)start your MacOS X, the driver seems to work OK in all occasions. if (2) is due to holiday season, I sincerely hope to receive an answer soon.

I do not mean to dissuade anyone from using wireless driver, but I would like to offer up my recent discovery. I have been using WirelessDriver on my PB G3 Pismo for a few years and over OS upgrades 9.2 to 10.3 All in all it works for me, but there have been many pitfalls and I am always a bit squeamish about losing my connection. The problems I have had have all been listed here by numerous folks so I know I am not alone. But it worked and it was free. About three weeks ago I decided to try the only third party wireless driver for Mac (that I know of) from ioxperts. All I can say is that it may be the best $20 I have ever spent in my life. I can open and close the preference pane as much as I want. I never lose my connection. I can select from any available wireless connection through a drop down menu. I installed it once and have never had any issues with the driver since. The demo runs for 30 minutes before disconnecting. http://www.ioxperts.com/80211b_X.html Henry |

Hi, I just got a DWL-122 and discovered how awfully the mac drivers suck. I was wondering if this driver would support it? I'd try it on the machine in question to see for myself but it's a semi-production machine that I'm not too keen on screwing around with. It has a Prism2 chipset, so the only question is, does it support USB? Thanks, Ansley |

Hi there.
Using a powerbook 550, OS 10.3.4 with the D-Link Air DWL-650 card. The
Act light goes on when I plug it in, and I get an icon in the top bar
allowing me to turn it off. Other than that, the computer can't see
it. I've run the installers many times, tried uninstalling and
reinstalling, but I've never been able to get the en1 or en2 settings
to show up in the NETWORK preference pane.
I've run the following
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext
sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
and it says it was installed, but still no en1 or en2 settings.
Here's the diagnostic info:

I wanted to post regarding my continued success using Wireless Driver on multiple systems. I have been using WirelessDriver on my secondary CPU, a Powerbook G3 Pismo with a Wavlan Silver PCMCIA WiFi card for a number of years and wanted to let people know what I do each time I have issues. Every-time I upgrade to OS, or recently I upgraded the proc to a G4!, I lose my Wireless capabilities. this has happened from 9.2.2 through 10.3.4 Each and every time the same solution works. Booting into OS 9 Searching for and remving all Wireless Driver files, particularly the pref pane and the kext file booting back into OS X installing WirelessDriver restarting installing wirelessDriver again Sometimes I have to do this process twice before I regain access to my card, but over five systems OS upgrades it has worked every time. Good luck, henry |
