Sorry, oldish thread, but I'm just catching up after being away . . .

Every such installer I've seen includes an un-install option which almost invariably works fine to 'clean' the offending drvr resource from the System file. Alternatively one could use a resource editor (eg: ResEdit), but of course that's not for everyone.

A somewhat easier (simpler?) solution I've successfully used has separate System files for each enet drvr, and I swap between them as needed. This takes a little bit of organization but isn't at all difficult to do. I start by creating duplicates in Finder of a clean copy of the System file. In a "System Extensions (Disabled)" folder inside the 'System Folder' I create individual folders, each labeled for its respective enet driver (eg: '3com 589', 'Asante', etc.) I put the System copies into those folders and rename them to just 'System'. Then I can install drvrs, switching System files and rebooting between installs. To switch System files, drag the currently active System file from the System Folder to the desktop, this 'de-blesses' the System Folder. Then drag another System file from its "System Extensions (Disabled)" folder folder into the System Folder which should re-bless the System Folder. Then drag the original System file from the desktop into its "System Extensions (Disabled)" folder folder. Restart. It's easier to do than to describe, which I hope I did clearly enough. :-) >Now if I can only figure out how to use my PB1400, dial up my internet >account and set up wireless internet access with the powerbook acting as a >router for wintel based laptops to surf the intenet. Very possible, but that all depends on whether your wifi driver allows setup as an access point. Apple's AP SW does, but of course a 1400 cannot use AP. >Anyone have expiernce with IP Net Router? If so then IPNR can easily do the trick.
