Hi,
I thought I'd update everybody on my dealing with Airport Extreme and
MoreSCF is that I have found a fix, but updating the code in the Port
scanner code, not to just look for for "AirPortDriver", but to look for an
IOClass which has the first 7 characters of "Airport", as I have seen a few
variations of this name AirportXXXXX but that seems to do the trick quite
nicely.
I would be curious if anybody has any issues with the above technique or
did it another way, but that how I've got the code working.
Thanks
Mark.

Hi,
I have been digging into the MoreSCF code, and it looks like it recognizes
an Airport by if an entry has a IOClass of "AirPortDriver", but this isn't
true for others, so I'm now wondering if this is a bug or I haven't gotten
the latest MoreSCF source.
Thanks
Mark.

Hi,
I was wondering, if anybody knew why when I¹m using MoreSCF for create a
new network location. That the Airport hardware keeps appearing as a new
Hardware message as soon as I enter the Network preferences dialog ?.
The strange thing which I find is that I¹m appear the find the Airport
entry in the XML as its BSD name is ³en1², but the ³UserDefinedName² is ³PCI
Ethernet slot unknown, Port 2², and there is an ³__INACTIVE__² key as well
here, which I guess isn¹t good news. But if I hit OK for the new hardware
message, the Airport entry appears fine, and gets a BSD Name of ³en1².
So whats is confusing is that this airport extreme card has been in the
machine for ages over 9 months now, and so why doesn¹t it appear in MoreSCF
correctly, when I do a MoreSCNewSet and then a MoreSCCopyServiceIDs, and
then go through all the entries that a correctly ³UserDefinedName² of
Airport not appear.
Thanks
Mark.
