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]

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.

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

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

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

[murcielago585]

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.

[snackole]

Just do a Google search for 10.4.4 kext files.

[fallingup]

afik, we cant repost it here, it is part of a copyrighted system...we dont want to chance it with apple legal.

[treyd]

HooKed I have your same problem. My OSX has pretty much stopped working as well. I'm going to reinstall now I guess. Keep me updated.

[jst68]

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.

Thanks,
JST

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?

[zdw]

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.
