Hey all, I followed the install beta twice routine. When I got to Network panel, the "Ethernet Adaptor (en1)" choice is visible but dimmed in my list of Network Port Configurations. So naturally I can't get any farther than that. What am I missing? Nolan |

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, 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 At 8:14 AM -0400 8/31/02, Brian wrote: >Hi, > >For those of you having problems with the install, here is a >suggestion list that seems to get most people going. > >1.

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
