WirelessDriver ReviewThis drive works great in Panther! - Version: 1.0.0b5, 11/19/2004 11:25PM PST

Thank you for keeping this old driver around. I'm using it in a Lombard with Panther and it works perfectly. Had to get help from here though to get it to work right though.

I got it going with the kext info and the code to enter in Terminal. Thanks for providing that stuff you guys, would have been lost without it.

BTW I'm using a Farallon Skyline card.

WirelessDriver Usage TipA tip, and a question... - Version: 1.0.0b5, 6/13/2004 01:23AM PST

Ok, first my tip...

For "marylandguy101"...

To use WEP, if your router supports it (I don't have an Apple router, so I don't know), just enable it on the router end, and then go into System Preferences->WirelessConfig (It's at the very bottom, in the "Other" category), enter the network name, as well as th WEP key, if applicable, and the WEP encryption type.

Now, I have a question.

I have a Lexmark Optra E310 (B&W laser) printer, hooked up via a printer "bridge" (the printer is parallel-only) to my router. I'm connected wirelessly as follows: My TiBook (800mhz 15", OS X 10.3.4), with an internal Airport card, is hooked into my wired router (Linksys BEFSR81), through an ethernet cable, obviously. My Powerbook G3 (Wallstreet rev. 2, OS X 10.2.8), with a Lucent WaveLAN Silver PCMCIA card and these drivers installed, is using the wired connection (Using internet connection sharing) from my TiBook. The internet works, and I have full access to the other 6 macs wired to the router, including the TiBook. However, I can't access the printer. Anyone have any ideas on this? I might try adding it while wired into my router, and then accessing it wirelessly... But I have a feeling that won't work. Anyone have any bright ideas?

Upgraded to OS X 10.3 on powerbook G4/400. Have 802.11b network with graphite airport and skyline 473 pc card. Card only works if WEP is disabled. Am I stuck here? Is there a way to enable WEP.
