Q: Cannot enable Bolse wireless jab adapter in network prefs
TThe adapter is plugged into a dual 2ghz power PC G5 tower running 10.5.8. I definitely have the correct driver installed, as Bolse's Wireless Network Utility opens. The device also registers of the appropriate usb slot in System Profiler. But the utility tells me to enable the wlan card in System Prefs > Network. But there the device does not appear as an option in the leftHand column.
PowerPC G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hmmm, after installing did you go to the Network ref Pane & see if it said new port detected?
Open "System Preferences" and click "Network." Press "OK" when the "New Port Detected" dialog box appears, then press Apply Now.
Open Sys Prefs>Network, hopefully you see New Port detected, older OSXes you need to go to Port Configurations first to see it.
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
