Hey

I'm working on the wireless for the new 10.4.7 install dvd. I started this topic to get an idea which are the most needed and wanted cards so they may be included in the dvd. Be sure to list any cards you think are the most important, even if there is a fix or not. This is purely an open opinion thread to get an idea of the most popular cards.

Here's my current list

dell 1300, 1350, 1400, 1450
intel (if my plan for the intel cards works)
linksys
belkin


seeing as how the entire set of intel cards are popular as it is, if i do get 1 card to work i would definitely try for the entire series. Linksys cards i'm not too familar on the specific models, let alone the less popular 1s (if any).

When you list your card, please list whether or not it is supported. If you know a fix for it, please leave an explanation/attachment of driver/link to thread where it was fixed.

Thanks,

Franzy

i got a tp-link tl-wn651g, and i know that this is an atheros chipset, but i dont know which one!
would be great to get wireless working, my ethernet isn´t working, too...

Ralink Rt2500 miniPCi cards, there's a lot out there on various brands of laptops.

intel wireless 2200

Well, I actually have 2 wireless adapters I want to see fixed.(Or I don't know what I'm doing. Rofl)

Linksys Wireless adapter wusb54g 2.4 ghz 802.11g

Dlink wireless adapter DWL-120.

Intel Pro/Wireless 3945abg

please....please....please

Make that ralink 2500 cards in general. I would like to se my CNet Wireless-G PCI included.

3945 Intel

Hi there,

Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG please!

Cheers,

Paulo

intel 2915ABG

(would love to switch to the internal on my t43p!) many thanks for your efforts!

Intel drivers dont exist. Get these drivers -

Atheros - should work
Broadcom -add ID 4318
PrismGT - have to download
Ralink - have to download

Hey do you have any idea if there is a trick to get an atheros chipset to work. I have a card based on that and nothing is detected in system profiler. Any Ideas?

Intel PRO Wireless 2100/2200

intel 2915ABG

This one, please:

IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II

Chipset: Atheros AR5004X

PCI ID: 168c:1014


The card worked out of the box under 10.4.5 in my IBM ThinkPad X31.
Now I installed 10.4.6 with the JaS_INTEL_AMD_10.4.6_Install_DVD and I tried everything I read in the forum to get the card to work - no success...


Perhaps you can solve my problem.

Thanks,
mess

Intel 3945ABG. Very popular card due to the new Centrino Duo platform requiring them.

Apparently, the reason all attempts in the past have failed is because Apple's wireless networking stack is undocumented. The coders, all skillfull enough to do it, have said that if a documented one were available, they'd be able to create a driver very quickly (about a week or something).

So, let's hope you've got a friend at apple who has leaked the neccessary documentation to you

(then again, there are other 3rd party wlan drivers, like the PRISM one, and Zydas: how do they do it?)

Definetely:

Intel PRO/Wireless 2200

I would definitely want to see the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945abg to be supported

I have to agree with this. We have a lot of people interested in drivers for this card.

NETGEAR wg11

Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg

I think Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 is one of the most wanted drivers.... But how in hell are you think to do this? It's very difficult to write drivers for this card!

Many Notebook has software WLAN radio swith, On Windows XP driver start radio before WLAN operation.
Is there an opensource Linux driver to radio switch

Involved notebooks:
Acer Travelmate (C100 C110 C300 200 210 220/260 230/280 240 250 260 290 350 360 370 380 420 430 520 530 540 610 620 630 650 660 800 2410 3200 2300/4000/4500 2350/4050 4100/4600 4150/4650 (force_series needed) 8000

I have Acer Aspire 3022 with broadcom 4318, but did not woks because radio turned off....


There is opensource Linux driver:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/rfswitch/

for ACER

http://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~tauber/acerhk/

Source code contains some Linux header files and I don't know OSX/Darwin eqvivalent files...

Please help

INTEL 3945!!!!

I would love to see ipw3945 as well. I'm in no hurry, though, since wired works fine here already

yep wg11v2

You want to say wg111t

I don't see the product wg11 on the netgear's website

intel pro 2200bg and intel 855 graphics

for wireless i'm actually working on getting a mini pci with atheros chip and high power output

Intel pro 2200.... like everyone

the belkin F5D7051 wireless usb adaptor....

*drumroll*

Intel Pro 2200 BG

intel 2200

Compaq W200 Wireless Multipor (Special USB) 11b with Agere chipset.
Appears in USB section of System Pref. but nothing in Network/Airport

INTEL 3945!!!!

I would like to see the INtell 2200 or the intel 2915

Sorry, I'd like support for the Intel 2200BG as well.
regards Praktiker

Intel Pro/Wireless 3945abg - everyone would love to see those wlan chips fly, especially I myself

Ralink 2500.

The current 2500 PCI chipset driver is PPC only, and I'm pretty sure it'll stay that way as none of the new intel systems have PCI slots, only PCIe.

intel 2200 like everyone else

D-Link DWL-G520+ revision A

there is allready a good working driver for Linux. they have a ACX111 (or ACX110) Chipset. some others e.g. Netgear are also using this.

Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg

Linksys WMP54G. it has a broadcomm Chipset I believe.

Intel 3945 ABG

Another vote for the Intel 3945 abg - we really need this

Thanks for the help!

intel 2915ABG please please please

Intel Wireless 2915ABG gets my vote
