" Mike,
My WallStreet 266 updated with 10.1.3 and a SkyLine Wireless PC card runs like a champ over Airport using the 1.0.0b3 (latest) drivers from the SourceForge WirelessDriver site. Sleeps/wakes properly too (was an issue with earlier driver versions). Haven't used encryption at all, the FAQ indicates it isn't yet available for my SkyLine card.
Later--Loren "

The earlier report today was updated to note he used the same drivers noted in the FAQ here last fall as working in OS X 10.1.2 - available at http://wirelessdriver.sourceforge.net/.

Adobe posted a 7.01 update for PageMaker on Version Tracker. I read through all the comments from their registered users (45 in all). It appears that only 1 person was able to actually install it (it errored on the last 3 items).

I tried at my office on two computers with no success (extensions off, file sharing off, combinations of the two, etc). I tried at home tonight though and was able to successfully install it without disabling all Extensions (though FileSharing is off at home as I am on a cable internet system).

I wondered what the difference was with the few extensions I have turned off at home vs. the 26 I have disabled at the office. I examined the two disabled folders and then compared the active Extensions on my office computer (main) that is the most similar. The difference was only one file. I can't say for certain until I get back tomorrow the office, but the one file that was active at work and inactive at home was the Printer Sharing extension (not the USB one, but the regular one that is installed by OS 9).

This could be coincidence and not related to disabled extensions at all. But since each of the two computers has more than 200 extensions installed, I haven't had the time to compare them and see if something HAS to be in the computer to allow for proper installation. In any case, Adobe needs to figure this problem out quickly.

By the way, I installed the OS 10.1.3 update on my WallStreet Powerbook upgraded with a BlueChip 500 without incidence. It seems a little faster to respond to opening and closing menus and windows, but I've only had it for a day and not had a lot of chance to dig around in it for a more accurate assessment....
Cheers. --John G. "

"Just thought I'd let people know that I upgraded to 10.1.3, and the driver continues to work. I have a PB Wallstreet, and a Lucent Wavelan Silver card.
Martin R"

I searched the wavelan (Orinoco) web site drivers for OS X versions and found none. I asked him for a link to the drivers he's using. The FAQ here has links to two past wavelan card drivers that were reported as working in OS X 10.1.2 last fall.

" Mike:
I purchased Fax stf X from Smith Micro about a month ago as I needed a fax program in OS X. There was a problem with adding the internal modem as a printer in my Dual G4 450 when setting up Fax stf X. I would consistently get a "-108" error. Smith Micro said it was an Apple problem, and Apple couldn't fix the problem with Tech Support.

After upgrading to 10.1.3, I tried adding the mode as a printer. No problems whatsoever. I can now fax from my G4 running OS X!

This will now help all of those who need to fax, like myself.
