Updates for Jaguar Compatibility

Rob McKeever writes "I have just posted WirelessDriver 1.0.0b5.1 to both my iDisk (robm) and to the usual spot on SourceForge.net. This build has been compiled specifically for Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) and will not work on earlier versions of Mac OS X. There will be a separate version coming shortly to fill this void. The installer will fail the first time you try to do this; please try to run the installer at least once more before asking for assistance." Wonderful! The panic-on-reinsertion bug appears to be fixed too, making it much more useful, as I only need to use the PC Card when the internal card is out of range. Also, SharePoints, for making arbitrary folders available via file sharing, was updated for 10.2 compatability. LiteSwitch X still isn't updated, but note that hot keys other than cmd-tab still work with the older version.

Re:Apache Panic?

does anyone know if this "bug" is fixed yet?

Given the fact that the article you quoted, which dates back to 1999, refers to Mac OS X Server 1.0, I'd say, "probably."

And given the fact that the script included with the article which can allegedly crash a Mac OS X system did absolutely nothing of interest on my machine, I'd say, "definitely."

And, finally, given the fact that this post is clearly intended to spread FUD about Mac OS X, I'd say, "troll."

iDisk?

[mlknowle]

Using an iDisk for distribution like this is silly - I'm sure that the bandwidth allocation has already expired. Linking to an iDisk from /. is like linking to Geocities or something - it's a waste of time. Instead, why not ask Apple to host the file in the software section of idisk?

At least it is on SF as well...

What are these things?

All right, perhaps I'm just out of it, what with the long weekend at all, but would it kill people to perhaps submit what things are rather than simply the name of the program? I understand that Wireless Drivers are probably some sort of drivers for wireless products, but what kind of wireless products? Non-airport 802.11? Bluetooth? Some sort of GSM direct-access? Creating a software circuit that allows you to receive FM Radio transmissions?

Oh, maybe I could find out from the SourceForge link (and eventually I did, but it took some finding, since my first inclination was to go to FAQ rather than Home), but maybe a quick "Hey, WirelessDrivers, which is, according to the SourceForge home page

The WirelessDriver is an open source driver supporting Prism/Prism2 wireless cards such as the WaveLAN/ORiNOCO, Cabletron, SkyLINE and D-link PCMCIA cards for use with MacOS X and the Darwin operating system from Apple.

etc.

Or at least a direct link to what it is, rather than having to go to the site and then look around. Yeah, I know, I'm lazy, but it's a lot easier for the poster to make the information easily accessible than to have everyone who doesn't know what the thing does have to look around for it.
