I have an orinoco based AmbiCom 1100C Compact Flash Wi-Fi card that I
use in laptops by using a PC-Card to Compact Flash Card Adapter.
The card was not listed in the file
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist
As suggested in the FAQ, I added the "IONAME" of this card to the
"IONameMatch" section of the "everything else" key. It never worked
this way.
I did a used the dmesg command to diagnose. Some of the useful ones
were
dmesg | grep pccard
dmesg | grep PCC
dmesg | grep VersionOne
dmesg | grep AmbiCom
>From this, I realized the name "AmbiCom" did not the names in the config
file. It listed all the possible cardnames that did not equal AmbiCom
(Lucent, Linksys, etc.).
So I copied the stanza of code for the the Lucent card in the file
/System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist
and pasted it that same file. I changed this code that I pasted by
renaming a couple occurances of Lucent to AmbiCom. The important one to
change is the "VersionOne Info Key". I renamed the first line of this
array to "AmbiCom" and deleted the second line of this array.
I saved the file, rebooted and it worked!
