aevious Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hello all, and thank you to anyone who could possible help me with this. I currently have iatkos 2.0i running on my Acer Extensa 4620Z, which uses an internal Broadcom wifi card with the ID of BCM94311MCG. I can't seem to figure out any way to get this wifi card working, I currently am using a USB Belkin card which works fine, but would much rather use the internal wifi card if possible. Has anyone got this card to work? Thanks!!!!! Ps.. One solutions reported earlier was to disable my wifi card in my computers bios, and restart, then enable the wifi card, and restart again, however my bios does not allow me to disable my card as an option. As far as I can see at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see at least. The BCM4311 does work in OSX, modification of the IO802Family.kext is required, you need to inert your ID's in the info.plist file of the Broadcom driver or re-ID the card to be recognize natively. You should be able to find posts that describe how to add your ID's to the info.plist file, re-IDing the card is a little more involved but I do have a service to do this and I do provide a real Windows drivers CD (not a generic CDR) to keep it working in Windows. Alternately you probably could have just bought a card already to go from me for probably what you paid for the card you did buy (unless you got it really cheap) for $24.95 with free shipping.
