Can I create a LaunchDaemon for my 3rd-party wireless card?

Hi there,
I wanted to get .11n wireless on my old Power Mac G5 (Quad 2.5) so I bought a third-party PCI-E card. It works fine, however it's not AirPort compatible, and so at present I have to run it from my Login Items, which in turn means the network isn't available until I login. It uses an application called RALink Wireless Utility.
Does anyone know if there is a way of creating a custom Launch Daemon/Agent for the Wireless Utility app so that I can get it to connect to the wireless network from the login screen? If that is not possible I could get the computer to login automatically on my account, but ideally it would be good to have the launchd option...
Thanks!

Hi BDAqua,
Sorry for not replying... I've been meaning to try this out but haven't had time yet, but thanks for the link and I'll let you know how I get on!
Cheers, Joe

  • How to control an Apple Base Station with 3rd-party wireless card?

    I recently upgraded my early 2004 Power Mac G5 2GHz DP to the 802.11n standard using a Newertechnology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b Wireless PCI Adapter to communicate with my new "n"-standard 2TB Time Capsule. My G5 shipped with an 802.11g-standard Airport Card which I disconnected when I installed the PCI card to avoid hardware conflicts. The new n-standard wireless set-up works without a problem, but having lost the Apple Airport Card, I no longer have the ability to control/manipulate the Timecapsule via the third-party card e.g. I cannot connect/disconnect my internet connection or otherwise troubleshoot the base station.
    So, the question is, how can control an Apple base station with a third-party wireless card? As it stands now, I must boot up my laptop just to see if I have a connection.
    My thanks in advance,

    Thanks for the assistance. Yes, I can indeed administer the Time Capsule from inside the Airport Utility, but I am still unable to connect or disconnect the Internet connection like you can with an Airport card (using the Airport drop-down menu.) If my ISP signal drops for whatever reason (which is does often) I have to boot up my laptop just to reconnect. Is there some feature within the Airport Utility that permits one to connect/disconnect the signal? If there is, I haven't found it yet.

  • Any 3rd party wireless cards that fit in Airport slot?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there was a third party wireless card (preferebly N) that would fit inside an imac g4 airport card slot? I already have a usb solution but I would prefer and intergrated solution that fit inside the airport slot, as USB ports are sparse on the machine (3). The reason im asking is because the original extreme cards are hard to find as they arent made any more and they go for upwards of $30 for a used one and thats just for G.
    Any suggestion?

    Welcome to the discussions, wimpytx!
    I was wondering if there was a third party wireless card (preferebly N) that would fit inside an imac g4 airport card slot?
    Your question is really more about the iMac G4 and it's capabilities. You might get a faster answer if you post in the iMac G4 Forum under the wireless and networking discussions.

  • 3rd party wireless cards

    Are there any drivers for wireless cards from a 3rd party, say netgear, had one laying around, tried to use it, I did try orangeware.com, but that didnt work, software did, hardware didnt, any Ideas?
    my mobo has no provisions for airport.

    Got an 802.11g PCMCIA card from MacWireless.com for my Ti Powerbook G4. Works fine; no problems with either Tiger or Leopard.
    Per instructions, I started by removing the Airport 802.11b card that came with the G4. MacWireless accepted it for a rebate, which made the new card free. Easier than selling the Airport myself.

  • Can I set up WDS with a 3rd party wireless router?

    I have an Actiontec 802.11g wireless router that is working ok but the range is limited. I also have an airport express that I'm currently not using. Can I use the two together to set up a WDS to extend the range of the network? The discussions and Apple help seem to assume that the main base station is an Apple Extreme.
    Any guidance and specific setup instructions would be appreciated.

    Hi again kenkarno,
    So the whole idea of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is to enable you to use multiple devices (i.e. Wireless Routers) on the same network.
    For example if you set up a wireless network called "kenkarno" but your original router wasn't powerful to cover the desired area, you could add further routers to the same "kenkarno" network as opposed to creating a multitude of networks for each router. The obvious advantage is that if you're out of range of one router you're in range of another without having to switch networks.
    At the moment WDS is very proprietary (hence my first post) so it is common when trying to set up a WDS composed of different brand routers, you may not get them to talk to one another due to incompatibilities in their software.
    In your case, it could be that your Actiontec router will not be able to form part of a WDS with your AE so your suggestion of using ethernet between the Actiontec and the AE could be the way to go here (although you'd have two separate networks). If you went for a second AE you could create a WDS between this and your existing one which may make life a little easier.
    Hope it works out

  • Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order?

    Hi MM experts,
    Issue: Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order
    In Third party purchase process, first sales order created with a spl. item category  and it creates the PR automatically with the Sales order material and Qty and this PR converted PO.
    They got a pur.req. for sale order on same item for same delevery date. They did not get any warning msg. saying that a PO was prviously placed against this sale order.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    If anyone face the same issue, please let me know if you have any answer to this questions.
    Thanks in advance.
    Suresh.

    Suresh,
    It is hard for me to give you a definitive answer since you have created a customized solution.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    Normally, the system will not do this.  A third party PR or PO will be 'account assigned' to the Sales order.  SAP standard 3rd party will not create additional purchase reqs unless there has been manual intervention.  Try searching for changes in the Sales order and changes in the original purchase order.  They may give you a clue.
    I believe the normal Item category for third party SO is TAS (I am working from memory here, I am not in front of a system).  I don't know what ZTAG does.  I confess I am not an SD expert.  You might also want to post your question in an SD forum.
    You mention two custom applications, ZMMPLAN and ZSTPMP.  These somehow have functionality that is used to help you convert your PRs to POs.  If I were in your position, I believe I would also look at these applications for clues to how they might be contributing to your problem.  And please don't send me details about these apps.  I will not comment on custom code in this forum.
    Sorry I can't be of more help.

  • Is it possible for a 3rd party program to create a list item in sharepoint online 2013?

    I have limited experience with the online version of sp. I've been asked if it's possible for a 3rd party app that our company is beginning to use, to programmatically add items to a list.    I don't have any details about the program yet,
    but I've been told that a batch would run at night and they would like it to create items in a SP list and pass along several fields of metadata.   
    Is this possible in the online version?   I know that Power Shell can do this, but is it possible for an app to get access to run a PS command?   
    thanks,

    Yes.
    There is something known as the Client Side (?) Object Model or CSOM. This allows you to create list items, lists and even sites with .Net code from a non server machine.
    You could run 'classic' Server Object Model  C#/VB.NET or PowerShell to do the same job and it might be easier as there's alot more material out there on how to do it. On the other hand it's probably going to make your solution more complicated and
    harder to maintain over the long run.
    This article introduces you to the CSOM and how to use it and is applicable to O365 as well as on-premise:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp179912%28v=office.15%29.aspx
    As an alternative you can look at the REST API which allows you to use web services to interact with SharePoint.

  • I have multiple devices (imacs, lap tops and ipads) all connected to a NAS server.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife, and each have our own apple ID, and Itunes accounts, but all share the same media on NAS drives?

    I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives?  So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?

    You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.)  This will prevent you from ending up with merged data.  You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

    As far as I tested it, it is not possible either with PS2010. The URL only contains the PDP name and the projUID.

  • How can i create a Trash for external USB Drives ?

    Hello,
    how can i create a Trash for external USB Drives or my TimeCapsule ?
    Thanks.

    You do not need to create trash cans for individual drives.  The trash can on the desktop holds deleted files from all mounted drives.
    TimeCapsule manages its own space.  If it fills up it will delete older backps to make space for newer ones.

  • How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
    The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

  • Can v create graphical display for the report

    Hi to everyone
    my q is this can v create trend lines for a report ........
    if the ans is yes then pl mention the way of doing it .......

    when you run a bex report on the left top you have a button "graph". If you click this, you get a basic chart representing your output table. when you right-click on the chart you get the option menu as you get in xls, meaning you can change the type of chart (line, bar, pie,...) the series, the titles and so on (like regular xls)
    so the answer to your question is yes. If you want even more features you can use workbooks.

    Regards,

    Hi Kiran,
    In these scenario generally runtime faults occurs so you can use the CatchAll activity and rethrow activity to complete the instance in error state. Also before the completion of the process if exception occurs you can rollback all the transaction.
    or
    you can use the Fault handling framework:
