HP Mini 1000 series wifi - iwi2200 - "Could not get ID for kernel control. 2"

[7 Zark 7]

I have an HP Mini 1030 NR. I have installed iDeneb 10.5.5, and the machine successfully boots and runs Leopard. I had the looping problem with the post-install setup, and booted in single-user mode, creating the .AppleSetupDone file to get past this. That all seemed to go fine.

 

I am now trying to get the wifi working.

 

I did choose the "Broadcom" option when installing iDeneb, and I have run the Broadcom script installed by this option ("bcm43xx_enabler.sh"). I have run that both in single-user mode, and also from a terminal prompt when logged in as root. These appear to have had no effect. I do not see the device listed in Network Preferences. I realize that I may not understand exactly what the Broadcom script is for, as it almost sounds like it is some kind of fix for a driver that is supposed to already be installed(?)

 

After this, I installed the iwidarwin driver, iwi2200. I then rebooted, and ran networkSelector from the command line. However I do not get the menu shown in the install instructions, but instead just get this message: "Could not get ID for kernel control. 2"

 

And then dumped straight back to a prompt. And still, the wifi device does not show up in Network Preferences.

 

I ran the iDeneb Broadcom script another time, in case this would fix or patch something, or whatever. Yes, I am blindly grasping at straws at that point.

 

I have searched using Google, and also using the insanelymac forum search, but was unable to find an answer. I apologize if it's out there and I just suck at searching. I notice several people reporting this error message on the Google Code page for the iwidarwin drivers, but I don't see any answers posted there.

 

Any help or insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
