I've been searching and found alot of great information here on the forums. The first boot, after install, the internet works perfectly. Wirelessly connected to my router with my WMP54G. When I rebooted after I installed some sound information, wireless stopped working. It happened on my last install too.

With this install, I looked in the info.plist file in IO80211Family.kext and my Vendor and HW ID are both in there in the correct place, not duplicated, etc. And my card still will not work. It is listed in system profiler as an Airport Extreme card, but Airport not configured. I don't have any icons in the upper right of my screen. The spotlight magnifying glass is blinking up there, but nothing else is there. I'm wondering if something happened on the install, although this is the same disk that I installed 2 times so far. (one time cause I really goofed something up).

Anyone have a fix to the Broadcom chipset WMP54G Wireless PCI card? I'm at a loss, and I can't seem to find anything else. Thanks!

If Spotlight doesn't stop blinking a little while after you first install, then something is seriously wrong with it, and potentially your whole installation.

Go to the Utilities folder and find Console. Open it and click on the Logs item in the upper left. In the left pane click on "console.log". Read the log on the right. If there are continuous error messages being printed there, you have a problem that needs to be addressed.

Ok thanks, I'm currently in winblows at this time, but once I reboot and get back into OSX, Ill see what I can find. My printer is supported as well, so i'll be able to print it out.

Ok I got the log

CrashReporter/mds.crash.log
Oct 4 22:47:02 ray-moats-computer crashdump[776]: mds crashed
Oct 4 22:47:02 ray-moats-computer mds[777]: Excessive crashes on /.Spotlight-V100.

That's what its telling me. Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?
