cyrana Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 If someone can show me some good anonymous place to put the compiled file I could do it I guess. I'm just overly paranoid until things are out of beta...I don't know if this sort of stuff is a grey area or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baricrazi Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Maxxus has been using the following sites to host his patches. So far so good. Can you get the binary uploaded to one of these places. urls deleted This is a huge step! Thanks to you and everyone else on this site for all your efforts. I can't wait to use this solution since I have a Dell Latitude D600. baricrazi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to use this solution since I have a Dell Latitude D600. baricrazi The file is a bzip2, so just open a terminal to the file and type 'AppleAirPort2.bz2'. You'll need to follow the end of his instructions, where he has you copy the file into your /System/Library/Extensions/...whatever. Probably need to do the chmod and all that as well. EDIT - Here is an example, do this from the directory/folder that you bunzipped the file to: Something like this (not in MacOS now to actually try, going from memory): $ sudo chown -R root:wheel ./AppleAirPort2 $ sudo cp -r ./AppleAirPort2 System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext/Contents/MacOS/ Then test it with sudo kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirport2.kext If you have some knowledge of MacOS and the Shell it shouldn't be too hard.

baricrazi Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Well everything was good up until I tried to the last command to test it and then I got this error. tiger-x86:~/work root# sudo kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirport2.kext can't add kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirport2.kext (validation error) (run kextload on this kext with -t for diagnostic output) kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirport2.kext has problems: Validation failures { "Executable file doesn't contain kernel extension code" = true } I am not familiar with MacOS at all. Matter as a fact I have had this installed for about 2 weeks and this is the first time I have ever used MacOS. Any help would be appreciated.

k1n6w4r3z Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 i've got a belkin pccard and it seems to work.... when i plug it in the airport changes in scanning mode but my computer freezes, if i take the card out i get it back working. in the dmesg the only error i can see is: failed to determinate ram size allocated 64 cluster. just another bad srtory :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qapf Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 works perfectly with a WPC54G, anyone know a minipci card with the broadcom chipset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbaganoush Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Works with linksys wmp54gs, but it doesn't seem to connect. Connects without any encryption, this might be because i have a terrible wireless signal. Anyways it works to some extent atleast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suleiman Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 cyrana, you mentioned before that you could get the kext to load successfully but could not initialize your card to start. I'm running into the same peculiar problem. Did you find a solution to this? I'm running a dell latitude D610. I know that it's supposed to work on this system. Wireless is all i need now to make this my permanent OS!! Let me know where you're at on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qapf Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 after running the kext the card must be configured, reboot once to get the port in network connections, then run the airpot assistant, it will fail, but it will leave the card in a working state. then use internet connect to join an AP. and tada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baricrazi Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I still can't get this to work. Can someone post the foo.c file the exact way it should look. I think that is my problem. I keep getting an error when I try to do the command that uses that file. I have a Dell D600 so I know this can work on my system. I am using the deadmoo image and have the Maxuss 0.4 patch installed. I can't figure out what is going wrong. This is the only thing I need to never use windows again!!!! Please help.

netgodsrdn2 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 works perfectly with a WPC54G, anyone know a minipci card with the broadcom chipset? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A lot of Dells came with a "Dell Wireless 1350" which at least those that I've seen were Broadcom 4306's.

Well I actually was able to get this to do all these steps and get the kext to load successfully. Now the problem is it didn't change anything. I still have no wireless in the network config even after rebooting. I also saw someone mention running the AirPort Utility, tried that and it still didn't work. I have checked and verified that my Dell D600 built-in wireless is a BroadCom chipset. What could I possibly be doing so wrong? Is should be possible that we could make this into an install.sh script right? Maybe that would be good for us dummies that can't get it working. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

suleiman Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 i'm with baricazi on this one...I've tried and tried again to get this thing to work. The most frustrating part about it all is that i have the exact same specs as both baricazi and lagnat. Again, if there is anyone capable of putting this together into a nice install.sh file like maxuss did with his patches, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

jm9843 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Thank yous to lagnat and cyrana for their work on this. It went a lot smoother than getting 1280x800 to work properly. My integrated wireless is now working flawlessly. WEP encrypted network Dell 700m Dell Wireless WLAN 1350 Adapter Rev4.4 -> Broadcom BCM4306/BCM2050 Now the only hurdle that I have is enabling quartz extreme. Are there are any 700m users reading this who have a difinitive answer on QE? If so, help a brotha out and send me a PM. Thanks again guys.

buwie Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 The only ones that are supported are some TI (Texas Instruments) PCMCIA/Cardbus chips. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed, some, it seems it won't recognise the TI PCI7420 cardbus Controller I've been messing around with the Info.plist in IOPCCardFamily but to no avail... Too bad, the Airport2.kext seems to load fine, but my WPC54G won't blink a light. Seems to me, like Cyrana said before, some work on the PCMCIA controllers has to be done, atleast to make it work in my HP/Compaq nx5000. Damn, so close , anyway, lagnat, thanx for the work!
