PRAXXUS Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I think the issue here with the tip suggested at the begining of this post is that it dosen't take into consideration there are pc with both an ethernet port and a wifi. so simply changing en0 to en1 won;t work. Any suggestions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockspeter Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi everyone, Can't get the Airport icon to show up! I did use all the steps, and deleted the two cache files. My card is a Belkin Wireless G Plus Desktop card (F5D7001), version 1323. I would think that I have the 4318 chip like crick. My problem is I edited the Airport2.kext and I think that might have messed it up. Nevertheless I deleted the Airport2.kext before I delete the cache so it should be back to the standard file. My broadcom.kext in the IO802....kext currently has the following lines: <string>pci14e4,4320</string> <string>pci14e4,4318</string> I deleted the two cache files and I repaired permissions. My question what do I need to do in terminal once I overwrite IO8...kext? I can sudo kextload the BRCM.kext but the Airport2.kext always fails and says that a supperclass has been changed and to run kextload with -t for diagnostics...when i type kextload -t and the path of airport2.kext nothing happens though! Thanks rp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. I have a different laptop, but I have dual core, 10.4.6 with audio and wireless issues, and the intel pro 3945ABG set.

Akshunhiro Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Guys, thanks so much for pointing this out. YOU ARE A LEGEND!!! I screwed my OS X install editing my boot record and screwed my HD. I have now done a full native install (no VMWare) and wireless was detected during boot and setting up users etc but once I restarted the network was not found and I had no net access. All I did was set en0 to en1 and integer from 0 to 1 and BAM! Network Preferences wizard and AirPort was highlighted and detected. Thanks sooo much. Good work!

klapi Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 OH MY GOD! Thank you so much!!! It totally works on ferrari 3200 - at first I thought it didn't because I read somewhere that the device id was 4306 but then I checked in windows and it said 4320 and now it works! I'm running 10.4.7 with wi-fi working super duper. So..... Anyone wanna buy my D-link DWL-G122? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfect0 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks man, I have the Broadcom 14E4,4320 Added it to the list, changed the NetworkInterfaces.plist and now I'm online with my AirportCard Laptop = Acer Ferrari 3200LMI. Hi, just noticed that you also have an ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 video card. How were you able to get your resolution to be 1600x1200? My Inspiron 9200 should be 1440x900 but I cannot get it to be at that resolution. My profile says that my driver is ok with QE and CI supported.

cucacu Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Add another card to compatibility list: Linksys Wireless-G PCI Network Adapter with SpeedBooster After I got 10.4.5 recognized my Linksys PCI Wireless-G card installed and detected it as Airport by going through this entire thread http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=13430 I also had to tweak it a little to get it connected as described in this thread http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=10749 Now I have working wireless connection. Thanks I beleive my Linksys card also uses Broadcom chipset and its hardware id is PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4320..... My Info.plist in IO8011Family.kext as... <key>IONameMatch</key> <array> <string>pci14e4,4320</string> <string>pci14e4,4312</string> <string>pci14e4,4318</string> <string>pci14e4,4306</string> <string>pci14e4,4301</string> </array> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessem Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Not working for me, I have a seimens speedstream wireless card, with a broadcom 4301 chip and nothing i've tried gets it to detect. I also dont see any cards listed in system profiler under "PCI Cards" do you think this is related? by the way, i found this resource for finding out chipset/vender ids and such. Maybe it will be of some help to someone http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyemac Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Wireless PCI cards: Trendnet TEW-443PI (Atheros chipset) works with IO8011Family.kext from 10.4.5 but NOT with same kext from 10.4.6 JAS install. Interestingly, I had previously installed the Ralink USB driver for USB networking and this kext interferred with the functioning of the IO8011Family.kext. When I installed the IO8011Family.kext from 10.4.5, the PCI card was recognized but it would not receive a signal. This occured after several reinstall attemps. However, after I removed the Ralink kext, the Trendnet PCI card worked perfectly. I believe that a prediction of which Atheros cards work can be made on the basis of results of the Linux MadWifi driver (see http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility ). This Linux driver is for the Atheros chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also installed the ralink drivers (for a usb dongle that is now broken ) so maybe thats an issue for me aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyemac Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I don't know how to 'post' ? send the kext. You can get the kext from a 10.4.5 install disk by extracting it with Pacifist. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse9 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 is there any change to get this working?

sambo60 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I have a usb adapter made by linksys (WUSB54GS v2.1). System profiler says the manufacturer is broadcom. Vendor ID is 13b1 and product ID is 0014. Any hope for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmonger Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I know I'm bumping an old post, but I wanted to document that I got my Broadcom 4306 card working in 10.4.8 using this method. I edited the kext to only include the 4320 and 4306 lines (took out all the other PCI device ID lines). Works like a charm for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daevild Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Sorry for double posting. I just noticed after many unsuccessful tries that the trick is only for PCI cards, but are there any other trisks for USB cards with Broadcom chipset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macphreak4evr Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I had a similar problem with broadcom wireless devices, there is a program you can google called PCISCAN it is a dos program , so boot of a cd or something into a dos prompt and run it, it will give you the MFR id=14E4 (broadcom) but with the corrected device id, I have to use this program regularly in the windows world building new packet drivers for ghost. and it works every time.
