Re: Orinoco Driver Loop
Hello, i had the same problem. A manually installation solved all problems. Well, Listers, I should have researched the archives for my answer! I know that Ken Vann's macwireless site http://home.earthlink.net/~macwireless has been mentioned often here. Turns out that my loop problem is addressed in his FAQ's. The first suggestion there is to install the files manually. I will try that and report. (BTW, Orinoco did respond and referred me directly to the macwireless site.) -- +---+ | () Gruesse/regards [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | /\ Manfred Guentnerwww.serv.de.eu.org | +---+ -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Orinoco Driver Loop
Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 12:33:01 -0400 Subject: Orinoco Driver Loop From: William Damkoehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Listers. Just put an Orinoco Classic Gold wireless PC card into my Powerbook 1400. I attempted to install a driver I downloaded from the Orinoco site (version 7.2) which is designed to work with OS 8.6 which I'm using on the 'Book. (This 'Book has been upgraded to a 233MHz G3, has the small HD and has 64MB of built-in memory.) When I attempt to run the installation I enter an eternal loop: Clicking Install leads to the License Agreement - clicking Agree leads to Install - clicking Install leads to the License Agreement - clicking Agree leads to Install - clicking Install leads to the License Agreement - clicking Agree leads to Install - clicking Install leads to...well, you get the picture. I've e-mailed Orinoco Support about this but have had no response except to say that I will get a response! I did track down an earlier version of the driver and am using it but would like the features of v7.2. Anybody else ever confront this problem? Thanks for all past, present and future expertise! -Bill I have documented a problems similar to this on my wireless FAQ site. See question 5. Try the solutions listed. Download same version of the installer from a different location. Additional locations listed on my web site. This problem is only with the early PowerBooks which use card and socket services v2. No you can not upgrade that, its in the ROM. Ken Vann == Old Mac's have new uses with WiFi.
