Il me semble que le 29/4/03 à 08:36 -0700, Edward Humes nous racontait:

You're a registered user of Hiroshi's driver? Do you use DCHP?
Some people mention that DHCP doesn't work well with 128 bits WEP but
your silver card can only do 56 bits WEP.
I never had any issue with WEP and Hiroshi Noguchi's WiFi driver
except that it was not very easy to setup at first (especially these
old buggy versions of the driver).

You might want to try Packager, a MacOS X native utility that does
exactly the same than PackType.
You can also try MacOS X native package installers.
There is unixnpi (command line), NewTen (serial only), Delivery
(AppleTalk/TCP/Rendezvous) and Escale
(Serial/AppleTalk/TCP/Rendezvous).

http://unixnpi.sourceforge.net/
http://www.stevenf.com/index.php?node=NewTen
http://www.kallisys.com/newton/dcl/
http://krugazor.free.fr/Escale.app.sit
If you have any problem with Escale or Delivery, please report the
bugs to http://bugs.kallisys.com
UnixNPI (and possibly NewTen which is based on it) uses the suffix to
figure out the kind of packages. I don't recall what Delivery does.
The two latest applications, Packager 2.0 and Escale, now peek into
the package to see if it is a Newton package, simply ignoring often
wrong MacOS X meta-data and the suffix.
