devilmj Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hello everyone, I bought a wireless pen with ralink RT5370 chip because I read that it was compatible with hackintosh 10.8 mountain lion. I downloaded the drivers from here: http://www.mediatek....dows.php?sn=502 I installed the pkg, then after several attempts the wireless card was on, found the net, and I'm connected but not sail. I made many trials, many of installing kext utility but without success. I set the dhcp automatic, manual, and changed my wireless (from 3 to 6 and then to 11-13 channel) To do these tests now not working again, can anyone help? I have tried both with mac 10.8 distro with Niresh and with iATKOS Now I tried it also on mac 10.6.6 with leohazard but even here I do not work ... the VID/PID is 148f:5370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilmj Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 I tried the key on mac lion 10.6 of my brother, I installed the drivers mediatek site and it went the first time. After giving him the dns, navigate safely and without any problems.Speedtest by a low ping and good response. So the pen works and also the drivers.Now I just have to remember how I did it I go, I guess I should do a clean install of hackintosh ..even though I have 10.8 and certainly will be more difficult but I definitely remember that I succeeded to make it go, installing many kext sooner or later I had it done.i have a dmg and a pkg installer, not a kext for my device.I installed this http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01-1_windowsDetail.php?sn=5004 and with my original mac 10.6 it works, with my hackintosh 10.8.3 not working...the utility show the wireless, but when i try to connect with my wpa2 wlan, not connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 If you haven't installed the driver then there's no kernel extension to edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kashmere01 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 thanks for getting back to me!!! i installed the V5 install package from ralink,so i would have thought it would install the kexts itself no? downloaded one from kexts.com too,but it had no installer,and no kexts in it.. i have been doing this for awhile,and this wifi worked great on lion,but im stumped here...lol feel like a noob!!

Gringo Vermelho Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yes I suppose so.. If it didn't end up in /System/Library/Extensions then I don't know where it is. I have a stick with the 3070 chip that I had working, but it's in use elsewhere at the moment and I don't remember anything.. Maybe you can find something in this topic: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/168984-airport-like-app-for-ralink-2870/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
