i_am_tristan Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 please try it by your self, if it doesnt work, then please post the 8187L Leopard Kext - i'll try to modify it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoMeIDoYou Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I updated my system to 10.6.3. Before that update my Realtek 8187B Wireless USB Card worked flawlessly. Now I cannot launch the Realtek USB Wlan Utility client nor the Netgear Wlan Client Utility. The icons are jumping but nothing happens. Any idea how to get this apps work? RTL8187Bl is installed. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_tristan Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 i also use 10.6.3 - i suggest that you delete the app (use something like cleanapp or similar...) and after that try to install both (netgear utility and the kext) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avcoura Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 don't work for me, my wireless adpter is rtl 8187b and a kext is 8187bt and not bl.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rphoto Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Anyone try this on an i7 in 64-bit 10.6.2 or 10.6.3? I've heard of other methods that work on other cards but using an i7 processor with hyper-threading breaks the fix (and I NEED hyper-threading). ...Please god, I'm tired of using my Windows 7 laptop (AKA space-heater) for internet...

anarkhos Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 If only the blue crab didn't suck so hard. The crazy thing is the author actually used Cocoa to make this app. At first I thought it was a cappy GTK or Qt app, but it seems it's just a really bad port of the controller. In other words he took the windoze app and rewired all the Win32 controls to Cocoa controls. MVC man, why do people refuse to follow it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rphoto Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 NM about the i7 answer (not that anyone cared/knew apparently). I found my own solution: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=219121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephann Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Works great on my Dual Core HP Pavilion, on a Netgear WG111v3 I just picked up at Best Buy. Used Kexthelper, had a kernel panic, bypassed the cache on boot and works perfect from there. Thanks so much! Oh, running in 64bit mode, Snow Leopard 10.6.4.

sship21 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 This solution worked perfectly for me! MacBook 5,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and my Encore ENUWI-G2 (RTL8187B chipset) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna Hack Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hey,i use a Netgear WG111 v3, last weekend i updated on snow leopard. Sadly the netgear wlan tool intstaller won't complete the install process. It always reported something with "coud not install RTL8187Bl.kext" I modified this kext and now it works. Just install the attached kext using kext helper. Enjoy - Tristan. Brought back my generic USB wireless with 8187l chip back to life in 10.6.4 by adding this kext along with RealTek's 10.5 driver+app. Thanks!

hijklll Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Attached kext produces no magic for me. Toshiba Satellite L455 w/ built-in realtek 8187 (not sure if it's 8187L OR 8187B? how do I check?) I tried it after installing the official leopard (10.5) driver for 8187L from realtek's website. Realtek WLAN utility (blue crab) bounces in dock once and vanishes. No visible changes in the network prefpane. (Snow 10.6.4 - Chameleon Boot) edit: It's the 8187B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepuhz Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Same thing for me I have Satellite L455 and built in Realtek 8187b and I can't get any kext to work. Snow leopard installs great but when I start Wlan utility it starts then vanishes, the second one just bounces. When I install kext from various websites I get the "Power off computer" message. I keep trying and failing. PLEASE HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_XII Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and can confirm that this method works perfectly! I booted in 32-bit mode, installed the Realtek_RTL8187B_MacOS10.5_Driver1148_UI1 and got the kext error message. Then I used kexthelper to install the modified kext and rebooted. Voila!

Matiasca Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hi, i'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 64 bit, Thanks to this place! help me so much, but, i have an internal usb adapter RTL8187l (P5b-Deluxe WIFI/AP motherboard) and I have to boot in 32 bit mode to make it work, by the way, installing this package it works without any other modification. But, i want it to run in 64bit mode, is there any kext or package to make it work in 64bit kernel? or any modification we can make? Thank you!

Eizo75 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 This works great for me. Running SL 10.5.6 in 64-bit mode. Only the Alfa-Tool running in 32-bit mode, but no problem. It works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
