I had actually asked for drivers for the same card and the response i got was

"This hardware is not in any current apple product, thus support is not needed".

Its ashame i ripped that laptop apart or else I'd install Leopard again

Sorry to drag this up again but I would really like some help. I have everything on my Equium A200-1V0 working great apart from this bloody wireless :D


Install the Realtek drivers from their website, then try to load the software and the icon bounces and just keeps bouncing, then stops responding. I have read that I need to edit the info.plist, but what do I edit in there and to what?

this is what it says in SystemProfiler:

Composite Device:

  Product ID: 0x8197
  Vendor ID: 0x0bda  (Realtek Semiconductor Corp.)
  Version: 2.00
  Serial Number: 00e04c000001
  Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
  Manufacturer: Manufacturer_Realtek
  Location ID: 0xfd600000
  Current Available (mA): 500
  Current Required (mA): 500


Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

Thanks, James

James,


Try to change the product ID in your info.plist to 33175 (since 0x8197 = 33175). When you're done, reload the kext as CyanSmoker described in his post.

Nearly have a perfect working laptop with OS X :D When I connect to my 'n' router it doesn't give me an IP address :( is this because it is 'n' or because it is WPA-2? It does connect to the router but never gives an IP address.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hey everyone...
Is this driver the one from realtek's webpage which comes with the realtek wlan client utility or it's another one that will recognize my wifi adapter as airport?

thanks!

It is universal and it works perfectly. It is the Realtek rlt8171b. It took about 24 hours and they responded.  :D  Now I am going to try to ask Sigmatel for sound drivers.... ;)

I installed this on my 1.5.7, however (along with every other version of this driver) it hangs on boot. The verbose message is "IOKitWaitQuiet(): timed out waiting to write kernel symbols & Interfacenamer: timed out waiting for IOKit to quiesce" Anyone able to help?
