HELP WCF12 and Kismac

alexdotcomm · 06-04-2005

I am trying to use the WCF12 CF card with a pcmcia adapter on my powerbook G4 with Kismac R62. When I try to load the Prism2 driver in kismac it comes back with an error, that it cannot load the driver. Did anyone get this working?
I'm using OSX 10.3.9, the wirelessdriver.soucefourge is not installed.

Thanks in advance.

I am not really sure what you should do with the pcmcia adapter but I would try to install the wirelessdriver from sourceforge. See if you can get any kind of activity from your card.

Does the card show up in system profiler?? If it doesn't it won't work with any driver.

This is what shows up in system profiler

Name: cardbus
Type: cardbus
Bus: PCI
Slot: PC Card
Vendor ID: 0x104c
Device ID: 0xac56
Revision ID: 0x0000

That's the cardbus controller. I'm using 10.4 but the info is the same, mostly...

Here's what shows with a linksys wpc54g card installed.

pci104c,9066:

Function: Serial Port
Vendor: Unknown
Type: CardBus
Vendor ID: 4172
Device ID: 36966

This is an Orinoco Gold card.

WaveLAN/IEEE:

Function: Network Adapter
Vendor: Lucent Technologies
Type: PC Card
Vendor ID: 342
Device ID: 2

If the os doesn't know what it is you see something like the linksys. If it is a supported card you see something like the Orinoco.
