Hello, all. I have a (now antiquated) Farallon SkyLINE Wireless PC Card (PCMCIA, 2Mb/s) that I am trying to get to work in my PowerBook 1400. I installed the proper software, and am having difficulties. The card works fine in my WallStreet 300, but freezes my 1400 every time I insert it. It is definitely NOT a cardbus card, so it should work fine. But it doesn't. Stats on 1400: 1400c/166/64meg RAM/8x CD
Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.
Thanks --Dan G-R
I have the same (or similar) Farallon card in a 1400/133MHz/56 MB RAM/ OS 8.6.
You didn't mention, but Sys 7.5.5 is minimum for the card.
I had problems because I put the card in before installing the Farallon software.
The solution was to remove/trash ALL the Farallon related software (*wireless* preference file also), remove the wireless card, restart, then reinstall the Farallon software.
Restart the 1400, insert the wireless card ... Configure the Farallon "Wireless" control panel for your situation, then ...Open AppleTalk and press � command k ...
In the configurations window, make a set named "wireless" and make it active, in the AppleTalk window ; Connect via : choose Alternate Ethernet, make sure AppleTalk is active, then save changes !!
Open TCP/IP, press � command k ... again make a set "wireless", make it active. In the TCP/IP window ; Connect via : choose Alternate Ethernet Configure : using DHCP Server the rest blank ... click Options (go � edit menu � user mode � advanced � OK), click : Active � OK Save and close TCP/IP
*Alternate Ethernet seems specific to PB 190, 1400, and 5300 ...
Hopefully that gets it working.
To remove the wireless card while the 1400 is running, you must open AppleTalk and change the Connect via : setting to something else , or Command k and choose "Default" (will be modem/printer port if original) then close the AppleTalk window ... then drag the card's icon to the trash or try Command E ...
When you put the card back in, reinstate the AppleTalk "wireless" configuration w/ Alternate Ethernet ...
