Ethernet Adapter (en2) cable unplugged

I wish to install a wireless adapter to a Mac Tiger. I have confirmed the adapter is compatible with Mac. I have installed the drivers. The wireless adapter lights up, however the when I go to the network utilities it says the ethernet adapter (en2) cable is unplugged. How do I get this Mac to recognize this wireless adapter?

Did you have it unplugged when Installing then reboot before plugging it in?


Did you goto... 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, & get a popup of new port detected?


The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
