cyrana Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I have the 4320 model. It shows up in System Profiler now as the Airport Extreme card, but I can't configure the card itself (doesn't show up in network preferences, etc). Any ideas?

osx_x86 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I have started a project to port ndis wrapper to os x x86 at the forums at http://www.osxx86.tk . that way we can all just take our windows drivers and use them for os x. All we need are some good programmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooKed Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 i got a bit of a problem. i added the modified io80211family.kext, and i got osx to recognize the card. the problem im experiencing is that when i try to connect to the access point it just hangs while its "trying" to connect, and if i try opening other apps they dont go in. only way out of this is by doing a hard-reboot. i have a 700m dell laptop truemobile 1350 soo.... any of you know what's going on? Same problem here. The weird thing is that I had this working perfectly on my setup b4 but I wanted to make the Partition size bigger so I reinstalled and now I am having the problem you are. EVEN after reinstalls. Its so weird that I have done many reinstalls on this system using the same disc I always use and have made the same WIFI card 4318 work everytime after the installs, It's just this time that I made the partition bigger it wont work and continues not to work after reinstall froms this point on (after Partition size change) Anyone have any clues? OSX sees my card with the correct mac My signal strength meter works and it shows the correct mac of my router and says it is connected to is however it will not get and IP from it and it crashes all my progs HooKed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooKed Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Can someone please email me their IO8011 kext to deacon_la@yahoo.com I think it is the driver I am using I think it got f'ed up when I copied it over to windows b4 I did my reinstall. I tried the one from the 10.4.4 extensions I downloaded but that might be a PPC version. Anyways Thanks, HooKed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooKed Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Just adding to my last post I forgot to mention that my realtek Eth0 card has always worked with no mods to any kexts. Dont know if that helps but i thought i would tell you guys anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murcielago585 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have just installed 10.4.4 and everything was working perfectly until for no reason kernel panics came back into my life. if i boot with -v i get this kernel panic message. I am pretty sure its because of the wireless drivers i had to slighly modify to get my broadcom 4320 chipset working. The thing is it was working perfectly. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys know what's going on here since 10.4.4 was working beautifully on my comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jst68 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I can access my card through terminal (scan, web key, etc.), but I can't see it in the network configuration. Since the system forgets all changes made in terminal on reboot this is kind of cumbersome. Did anybody get this to work any further? I have a Broadcom 4320.

nsmith40 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 So here's where I am on this issue: Dell Inspiron 5100, Truemobile 1400, running 10.4.3 8F1111A patched by Jas v4.2b Edited IO80211Family.kext from 10.4.4 with six possible hardware IDs, Successfully loaded using terminal commands (both kextload and kextcache -- what each does I'm not exactly sure) Changed "en0" to "en1" and "0" to "1", as per ohpossum's suggestion reboot and... nothing. nothing shows up in About This Computer, for either AirPort or PCI cards. how can i check to see if the IO80211Family.kext was loaded correctly? Is it possible my IO80211Family.kext is corrupt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolyRoses Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hey guys, Serious thanks to cheesecake. You rock my world man. I now have wireless!!!! Here is my status. I have an Inspiron 6000 that had an intel wireless card. I scammed a Broadcom 4306 from a Dell Latitude d600. This is a truemobile 1300 believe?? Sigh, I forgot to write down what it said in xp before i took it. I am running 10.4.5 and i just directly modified /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/Info.plist in vi from the shell and added the 4306 rebooted, nothing, added another 4320 also and presto it works!!!! Here are my config lines: <array> <string>pci14e4,4311</string> <string>pci14e4,4312</string> <string>pci14e4,4306</string> <string>pci14e4,4320</string> <string>pci14e4,4324</string> </array> again, many many thanks! Anyone should be able to buy this card on eBay, its is cheap appears to work fine. -HR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spangemonkee Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I am also look for the io80211 kext file. As well, ass the AppleAirportBRCM kext. I'm running a mac and I'm trying to figure out how to get my USB broadcom adapter to work. I know some of you are gonna say that it's not supported or whatever, but I'm still gonna try. I searched my HD (on my Mac) and I can't find these files. Do I need to look on my Tiger install DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dary23 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I know most of you are far into the game now...but I still can't get it working. I'm 100% positive I have 4318 chipset. I modify the the string to have 4318 in it then do permissions and all that. So I reboot and it says my airort is detected. I get the baseball field in the toolbar and it shows up in system preferences and ifconfig.But for some reason it just doesn't detect any networks anywhere. I have a wifi connection to my mac mini. So I know it's there. Any suggestions???Thanks in advance. Dary23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher4 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hey so im on 10.4.5, on my compaq presario v2005US (broadcom BCM4306) i got it to work by doing the folowing: Open IO80211Family.kext by right clicking and going show package contents. Go into plugins and do the same to the broadcom kext Edit the info.plist to include whatever you want, i edited mine to include all broadcom cards i could think of: 4306 4309 4311 4312 4318 4320 4324 Im not sure if they all work, but i just figured id add them all... Save it and repair permissions, then go to back to System/Library/ and delete the mkext and the kextcache reboot and it should show up in the menu bar open system prefferences and click on network, it will say there is a new port add it then close system preferences (dont config it in there) at this point i had to randomly click the wireless button on my laptop untill some local wifi networks showed up in the menu ever since then its worked flawlessly. if you try to config it before it shows wireless networks in the menu, it generally crashed for me. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
