Hi, somebody knows if is available IOPCIFamily.kext for Snow Leopard ?
I need it because solve pci addressing and others related problems, in leopard my Network and Wireless cards only works after install the IOPCIFamily.kext patched by chun-nan.

I think that many laptops models will need it:

Acer Aspire 4320/4720z/5920/4710/4715/2920
HP Compaq 6720s/C500/C700 and others that not remember now.

Edit: the latest IOPCMCIAFamily.kext patched for Chun-Nan for 10.5.6 works in Snow Leopard but only in 32 bits, boot with arch=i386.

Download here: http://download189.m...Family.kext.zip

Or here: IOPCMCIAFamily.kext.zip ( 140.25K )

Edit: New patch for Snow 10.6.x 32 & 64 bits available here: http://www.insanelym...p...t&p=1460172

Or direct download: http://www.mediafire.com/?5vifkyljzgk

And , Acer 3272/5572/5580 will need it

[lastowl]

i also need it i'm looking into editing the dev ids ect in the dsdt.aml will post if any hope

[millie]

I am also looking for this kext as snow leopard fails to notice my pci express wifi card, i was using chun nan's kext on leopard that worked a charm

Cheers for your help

[millie]

I have a bcm4311 card, so i am wondering what info you changed in your dsdt if you talk me through it i can test to see if i can get my card working. It works nativley under leopard i just need chun nan's patch to make leopard recognise the pci device


Many thanks

On second thoughts i still have my old version of leopard 10.5.6 with fully working wifi, could i not copy any info from this operating system and put it into snow leopard

Just a thought

Many thanks

[Volcacius]

Adding (_SUN, 0x03) to your PCI devices will just make them show under PCI in your system profile, it's just cosmetic.

[millie]

Hello there, i don't really understand what you are saying, i have no previous experience with messing with aml files but i am willing to give it a shot. I assume i can edit the .aml file with TextEdit

Now how do i locate the file from within Snow leopard,

Then how do i get my PCI field value

then i don't understand this "and for the Network Card i only add Name (_SUN, 0x03) and OperationRegion (P3CE, PCI .."

however i am more than willing to try it out for you

Many thanks

quinielascom, Please post the IOPCIFamily.kext by chunnan for me, I can't download it at http://www.mediafire.com/chunnan.
thanks a lot.

PCMCIA does not load here in Snow (worked in Leo) - "bad bridge mapping"

[BugsB]

hm, have done.

Two questions to you:

1. do you have the IOPCMCIAFamily.kext in /Extra or in S/L/E?

2. have you kept or deleted Snow Leo's IOPCIFamily.kext in S/L/E?

Thanks,
Bugs

[BugsB]

thanks, issue remains, bad bridge mapping. I think that can be corrected in the DSDT. Just don't know how.

[lastowl]

i'm trying slices kext for it ill report on progress

[oldnapalm]

Slice's kext doesn't help.

@BugsB
you don't need IOPCMCIAFamily, just IOPCIFamily (extract from IOPCMCIAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/)
works in /S/L/E or /E/E (you will see warnings in log if you leave the original in /S/L/E and put Chun-Nan's in /E/E)
only works in 32 bit.

[quinielascom]

IOPCMCIAFamily.kext (32 bits) works fine in /S/L/E and you not need erase IOPCIFamily.kext (32/64 bits stock) and at least in my laptop i can boot in 64 bits mode but without PCIe devices recognized.

[oldnapalm]

What happened to Chun-Nan?

I would like to add his 10.5.6 patches to IOPCIFamily-113 and see if it works in 64 bit. Tried to apply rev8 fixes but it doesn't work, 10.5.6 must have a different fix, but source isn't available.

All other versions I tried didn't work (Slice, AnV, previous Chun-Nan).

Acer Aspire 5920
