I talked to this guy in PM and he isn't willing to do the work. He wants it handed to him on a silver platter. I pointed him to links in my signature on how to deal with Vendor/Device ID's and plists, Wireless and Cardbus/PC Card/PCMCIA.

 

First you have to be sure that the PC Card slot controller has the correct driver. His vendor/device id for his TI controller is 104C:8031. If you go to the Misc link in my signature and read the Cardbus section, the second patch there refers to that vendor/device. The kext for the controller probably needs to be replaced.

 

Once the Cardbus is working, then you can concentrate on getting the wireless card working 168C:0013. It looks to me that his Info.plist already has that vendor/device combo in it.

 

Since he is running 10.4.7, I'm not so sure he should be incorporating any 10.4.8 kexts.

 

In most of the instructions I've seen here, you are forgetting to rebuild the kext database. Be sure to delete the Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache so that a new database is built with the changed kexts.

in the first installer i made (which is still there) incorporated 10.4.6 kext and it had the correct info.plist but post flight was a slight bit off and it did have a touch extensions postflight op so...

ok i did wat rammjet said..after the installation of the new text i enter code, repaired, took out the mkext and the other 1 and restarrted...nothing

 

First of all...i Installed the wireless patch that comes with the JaS 10.4.7 WAS I supposed to Install that patch? Maybe that is causing the problem here?

i just downloaded Diabolik's file, and ran it. I rebooted, then I went to the system preferences, and network, and it popped up something about airport. Did you get the popup or not?

 

Btw I'm on 10.4.6 base JaS + 10.4.7 update + 10.4.8 then I installed Diabolik's. So I don't know how it works on 10.4.6 but i doubt this has anything to do with 4.7 or 4.8.
