CLEAR Connection Manager Beta Version 1.03.0062.0 for Mac 10.5 Leopard: Errata


*** Please note *** that I have not personally tested this software yet. Look for a full review of this software next week after we have had time to install and test. The information below is provide by the documentation that came with the download.

  • This version of the CLEAR Connection Manager supports only Mac OS 10.5 Leopard.
    Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard will be supported in a future release.
  • This version only supports the Motorola WiMAX
  • The first time you insert your USB device into the Mac you will receive a dialog box titled:
    “A new network interface has been detected” as illustrated below.

  • OS X presents this dialog box any time a new network interface is created. It is not
    necessary to select “Network Preferences”. You may select “Cancel” to close the dialog
    box.
  • The signal strength indicator may fluctuate erratically at times and may not provide
    accurate information in all cases. This will be resolved in a future release.

The new UI and Tabs
The biggest change to the new connection manager is the overall UI change, which includes a new tabbed interface. Different tabs will be displayed to the left based on the type of connections you have available. Here are some screen shots to show you what the different tabs may look like.













New WiFi Features
You now can manage your WiFi connections through the CLEAR connection manager. It is nice to have a single point of management for all of your wireless networks. If you want to use this feature you will need to turn it on in the settings menu. See the screen shots before for a bit more detail.

With the new UI changes come some changes to the settings menu. Here are some highlights:
  • Enable/Disable various adapters.
