Wireless drive downloads and compatability
Authored by: blib on Aug 20, '02 06:46:22PM

I've been running my Lombard for months with a D-Link wireless card. For a liitle extra security I only alow the base station to give access to my pc cards mac address. If it is not compatable with Jaguar I hope it gets updated soon, this is something I would pay $$ for.

Check the sourceforge site here for a list of compatable cards.

I seem to be running many unsupported hacks on this thing just to get more functionality in OSX. All I need now is my DVD playback (oh well)

Wireless drive downloads and compatability
Authored by: dross on Aug 22, '02 02:49:32PM

WirelessDriver is compatible with Jaguar we just don't have an installer with it, here is a method that was posted to the support lists by Rob McKeever (the guy who does the driver development) to make the driver work.

1) "sudo chmod -R ugo-w /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext"
2) "sudo chown -R root.wheel /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext"
3) Modify /System/Library/Extensions/WirelessDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist", removing the 2 line entry for IOKitDebug on lines 33 and 34 (it's not needed except during development and was incorrectly typed as a string when it should have been an integer)
4) run "sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions"


This needs to be run as an Administrator. We should be getting out an installer with these fixes and more features soon.
