<blockquote class="yiv3451616713gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Thanks, Dave, I’m running 10.9.2<br>
<br>
I’ll see if I can figure out how to uninstall all the drivers I’ve tried. I’ve tried the driver referenced, but I don’t see anything when I go into terminal and run the command referenced. The only think I see is the bluetooth modem listing.<br>
