hello
I have a dwl-g510 on 10.4.6 and i did every suggestion i can find. I got io80211family.kext from 10.4.5 update and i got the file in the plugins folder of ionetworkingfamily.kext and put it in the ionetworkingfamily.kext of 10.4.6. I also edited the plist in airportatheros5424.kext. I did ther chmod and chown permisions thing on io80211family.kext. All of this gave me an airport icon and when i click it it says airport: not configured. When i open my network preferences i see my ethernet card and 2 gray airport cards. I really need some help.

Try the en0 -> en1 trick

Might be a good idea to repair permissions in Disk Utility afterwards.

already did that - still same result

sgx...go back into the networkinterfaces.plist and check if your changes stayed or it went back to en0. please let me kno

I've also downloaded every single combo update I can get from Apple, 10.4.2-10.4.6 and none of them contain any file with anything like IO80211 in the name. I searched them all with Pacifist. Has this necessary file been deleted from the updates, and if so, where is it still available?

Get the Intel updates not the PPC updates.

Open the .dmg file and find the .pkg file inside.

Open that with Pacifist and go to System -> Library -> Extensions

Ok, I found those. IO8211Family.kext kextloaded with no problems. The 5424 sub kext verified has 168c,1a in it. Deleted extensions.kextcache and extensions.mkext, rebooted.

Still, no joy. System Profiler has no idea the card is there, and it just blinks. Doesn;t show up in network, etc. More work to be done. I'll be digging through the forums. Any time saving suggestions?

Tks!

Why I cant find en0 in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

thanks . p.s : my en0 is gray in the systentools

as i just found out to my BITTER disappointment, this card has three revisions, all with different chipsets. i have the revision c2 which has a ralink rt61 chipset - not recognised as airport, which is why i bought this damn card.

Of course, you went and got the Ralink drivers and installed them to allow the card to run even though it still won't run as Airport.

I have the same problem with my card and I have tried to use the ralink drivers for 10.4.4. It gives me this when I try to manually load the drivers:


"17RT61CardBusDriver is not compatible with its superclass, 20IOEthernetController superclass changed?
kextload: a link/load error accured for kernel extension /SystemL/Library/Extensions/RT61CardBusDriver.kext"

Any suggestions?

i was not able to get my dwl-g510 rev c2 working with the rt61 drivers from ralink website under 10.4.8 ...

anyone can tell me what wireless card to buy? working without hacks in 10.4.8?

thanks in advance.

Hello,



same to me. I bought another E2 revision that was listed also as a ralink chipset based pccard. I also tried to install the ralink driver, but it failed. So I took a look at the vendor and the device ID with WindowsXP and this is my E2 rev. vendor and device ID

Vendor 1814
Device 0302

Then I opened the Info.list from the RT61CardBusDriver.kext in my extensions folder:

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x04011814 0x03011814 0x03021814 0x901B1799
0xB8331462 0xB8341462 0xB8351462</string>

yeepee, my device is listet as known. The I opened the Info.plist from

CardBusWirelessDriver.kext


<key>CardBus</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleidentifier</key>
<string>com.CardBus.driver.WirelessDriver</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>CardBusWirelessDriver</string>
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x02011814 0x18140201</string>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOPCIDevice</string>
</dict>

Damm, should this be my problem? Where is my cardbus device? I simply inserted 0x03021814 to
[b]<string>0x02011814 0x18140201 0x18140302</string>[/b
repaired permissions and gave it a try.....

Still no go. kextload -t RT61CardBusDriver.kext comes up again with

17RT61CardBusDriver is not compatible with its superclass, 20IOEthernetController superclass changed?

Now I have no idea the get this card work. Can anyone help us?

I get the exact same error on tryign to load the kext.

sudo kextload -t RT61CardBusDriver.kext
kextload: extension RT61CardBusDriver.kext appears to be valid
17RT61CardBusDriver is not compatible with its superclass, 20IOEthernetController superclass changed?
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension RT61CardBusDriver.kext
load failed for extension RT61CardBusDriver.kext
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)

Sorry, because I answered too late.

I change simply to another hardware "allnet 0282A" is working as airport card with
Rt2500 drivers. I returned the not working Dlink pcmcia card.

i have same ids for my Gigabyte GN-WI01GS mini-pci
i tried exactly the same
the other kext loads, but ther RT61CardBusDriver.kext gives me this damn superclass error

any ideas?

what means this? this card is known as working under freebsd! there may be a way to get running

it has the rt61 chip - und linux it works perfectly with rt61 driver... from ralinks page!
