Re: [Wirelessdriver-support] Problem with WirelessDriver beta 5.1

Alex;

Thanks for quick reply. I copy my original description of problem and after
that attached is Troubleshooting script output.

I have installed WirelessDriver beta 5.1 on my PowerBook G4. I am running
Mac OS 10.2.3. After installation I do not see "Ethernet Adaptor (en1)" in
the Network preference panel. Network preference panel looks just the same
as it did before I installed WirelessDriver beta 5.1.

In WirelessConfig preference panel all fields are dimmed. Only field that is
not dimmed is "Connect to wireless network named:", but the entry field is
blank and does not allow me to type anything.

I am attempting to use EL2511CDPLUS PC Wireless card.

Any suggestion what I am doing wrong.

Please help!!

Alex;

I am afraid I am not too proficient in Unix, and I am also afraid of messing
up my Mac OS. I have messed up once in the past and had to reinstall entire
system.

The command line you proposed, should I enter it in Terminal window? Should
I log in as myself or as root?

Thanks again.

You're not going to mess anything up.

Open Terminal, issue the command exactly as I gave it to you --

% sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext

the use of 'sudo' issues the command as root.

I just checked and in System/Library/Extensions there is file named
"WirelessDriver.ktext"

Do you think I still should try
% sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext

Thanks

Did you try the aforementioned

% sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext

?
