Getting PDAnet to work

I recently attempted to install PDANET on my MacBook Pro. I had some problems, so I uninstalled it (using the command line given on their site), and I also deleted the Ethernet (en2) driver that was created in the network control panel. That's my current problem. I solved my other issues with PDANET, but when I reinstall, it won't re-install the (en2) driver. Something needs to be reset or deleted (I'm guessing) in order for the PDANET installer to do a true complete re-install. Does anyone know how to make this happen? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is from their website:

+PdaNet only runs on Vista(32bits)/Windows XP/2000/ME and does not support Mac.+

So are you running Windows? If so, you might get more knowledgeable answers in the Windows forum. If not, it appears that it is not compatible.

Edit: this is the website I got the above info from:

PDAnet definitely supports the Mac. Their website is not updated very often, and isn't very Mac friendly. But trust me, it works on the Mac. They have a Mac installer and everything.

Here's a link to their Mac software

Well, according to that it does, but as you said, it doesn't appear to be very Mac friendly. Just because they have an installer doesn't mean it has been thoroughly tested with SL or that it won't cause havoc on your computer. I don't have it, so I can't offer any other suggestion except that I'd contact the developer.

I had the same issue with PDANet. It stopped working in USB mode because I accidentally deleted the Ethernet (en2) adapter. All you need to do once your pdanet client is installed on your mac is to go to System Preferences---Network--- add the + sign and look for Ethernet Adapter (en2), just add it.
PDANet will work just fine.
