Re: Airport Card doesn't show up

2005-12-09 Thread B.L. 
I believe I have been remiss in my duty to thank everyone that responded 
to the above query. So with that in mind I just wanted to say thank you 
each and everyone who offered advise suggestions or information in my 
quest to get a pcmcia wifi card working on my 400mhz Lombard. I ended up 
downloading the IOexpert driver and trial running it and now I will buy 
it or register it. It was the only one that worked. I downloaded quite a 
few other drivers, but none worked except the IOexpert one.
Thanks again.
Brad

Thanks Ken; I get it now, no Airport card, no Airport option to connect via.

"Why?" questions are always tough ones. However, I believe that you 
need the drivers installed in order for the machine to "see" the card
and thus give you an option to select the option to use the card. The
option isn't given to you unless you have a useable Airport card.

Ivy thanks for the information I guess I'll have to start looking for a 
compatible card.

Thanks Ken for the heads op on this issue. But tell me why is it that 
Airport in the Network Pane under System Preferences doesn't show up. 
Airport not showing up there means that I can't even select Airport as a 
viable connection option.

Yes, some wireless cards, like Orinoco, that are "Airport compatible" under 
Classic are not Airport compatible under OSX.  When a friend obtained an OSX 
10.2 Wallstreet awhile ago, it would not use my Lucent Orinoco wifi card as an 
Airport card, like my 9.2 Wallstreet could.

Also, some cards that are Airport'able under OSX are not under Classic (most 
recently I discovered that the Sony/Ericsson GPRS card is one of these).

Any card with the Broadcom chipset (SOME of the cards/adapters by Belkin, 
Buffalo [what my friend now uses in his 10.2 WS], Linksys, Sonnet, among 
others) 
will be seen as an Airport card in OSX 10.2 and up.

My "Airport compatible" Orinoco Gold also doesn't show up
under 10.2.8 in a Wallstreet. Problem is, Apple didn't build
in the drivers for these "compatible" cards. You will need to
install something like the IOExperts driver to use these cards
under OS X.

Airport Card doesn't show up

2005-12-04 Thread B.L. 
Good Evening fellow listees;
I have a small problem with my Airport set up on my Lombard.

First of all any Airport compatible PCMCIA card I put in the PCMCIA slot 
doesn't show up in the network pane as an Airport card, in fact in the 
network pane under network status Airport doesn't show as an option at 
all and I know these cards are good because they work in my Powerbook 
3400 to connect wirelessly to the internet using a Graphite Base 
station, as does my B&W  using a PCI Airport compatible card.

Secondly I can't get the Airport SetUp assistant to recognize the cards.
The one card I got to show up showed as an Ethernet Adapter Card en1 or 
something like that, so the slot seems to work to a degree.

This is all on a Powerbook Lombard 128mb ram/OS 10.2.8/6gig harddrive & 
a 400mhz processor. Yes I know if I had more ram and a larger harddrive 
things might be a bit better but money is funny right now and so I have 
go with what I've got.
Would someone and could some one point me in the direction to fix this 
problem or will I have to go back to OS 9.2.2 on this machine.
Thank you in advance for any and all help
Brad
