Resurrecting My Wallstreet

[Strimkind]

I have the wavelan silver and it never shows up as an airport card in OS9 or OSX. For OS9 I used the official drivers I found on the internet and they work find. For OSX I used:

http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/

Beta 5 works with 10.2.8

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wirelessdriver/

Beta 6 works with 10.4.x

When installed it just comes up in the system preferences under 'Other'.

For beta 6 you have to open it each time you restart or after waking the machine to make the card active. I cannot remember if this is true for Beta 5.

well, to get it working in OS9, I downloaded and installed the latest software for airport for 9, version 2.0.4. The earlier versions don't work with the wavelan cards, but this one does.

I like the apple aiprort software better than the orinoco software. Now all I need to do is find a PC with a PCMCIA card slot in it to update the firmware to the latest version, unless that will make it incompatible with Airport 2.0.4...

Actually, macdan has a solution that does not involve finding the same hinges (all three displays use different hinges, but the same clutch). All you need to do is pop off the clutch from the 2 and swap. here's the page:

getting back to my topic, I am totally stumped here. No signs of life, but it does chime. Oddest thing in the world.

Makes me wonder if the clutches from a Lombard would work. I too have a 300mhz Wallstreet II with one bad hinge and a spare Lombard display with hinges. If I could swap those out the Wallstreet would be usable again....

After disassembling both the Wallstreet and Lombard displays, I can say the answer to this question is NO! At least on the Wallstreet the issue appears to be the clutch itself.
