hey guys i rly need help,

 

I got this Laptop (Acer Aspire 7730g) and i installed Os x 10.6.4 by Hazard everything works fine even cam.

Only my mini Pci Internal wireless adapter and ethernet are not working OOB or with modified kext so i changed my

Intel wifi 5100 to the Broadcom 4311 wich is supported to work nativly by Os X but it is not shown at the preferences or the airport untility, ok so far so good. i tried any kind of kext like bcm enabler.sh io80211 from 10.4 or 1.5 or a special fix but nothing works, :mellow: but now i saw when im booting to windows my broadcom card turns on by LED is lighting up and if im restarting the computer my cards stays on and i boot to os x but then, the boot screen frezzes even by -v , -f or -x so now, when im shutdown my notebook for restart, the LED's are of and i can now boot Os X normaly.

 

So im thinking the card cant be turned on by os x do anybody had same or similar problem pls tell me i really need this card

 

Thanks Best regards

sry for my bad english ^^

Hey Dellmantt, thx for the tip dude,

but its still not shown up as airport but now i got it working that the LED is turned on in OSx and i load any kext that is needed to enable the card with kextload but still no luck, Dude I even tryed the F***ING Tape method but even this didnt work for me i think its the mini pci express i got 2 of pci the second one is actually for bluetooth but when i put the card in it, it goes really HOT so i leave the 2. bank of the pci.

Give an untouched kext a shot.

From my system 10.6.4

 

http://www.enterupload.com/dxk8zasuz3c8/IO...y.kext.zip.html

 

Back up your original kext.

 

sudo cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext ~/Documents/

 

Make sure you set the permissions back to root:wheel once you unzip it.

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel IO80211Family.kext

 

Then move it into place

sudo mv IO80211Family.kext /System/Library/Extensions

 

Clear your caches.

 

cd /System/Library/Caches/

sudo rm -rf com.apple.kext.caches/

They will be rebuild on next boot.

Anyway, before I have a BCM4311, it works OOB, but lately I have upgraded to an Atheros AR9280 based card, it's more compatible and works with a/b/g/n... and identified as an airport extreme on system profiler... :construction:

Nice for U :construction:

can u tell me more cards wich are supported maybe ill buy a new one ^^

 

OH ya i forgot somthing

couse my ethernet is not working too

it always shows somthing like ("applebcm5071: start 0 0 mapping device failed")

it would be awsome if my ethernet will work :construction:
