You need to get the vendor id and device id of the device. Even though it is a Broadcom chip (so I've heard), it has a weird set of numbers.

Go to Windows -> Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> Voyager -> Properties -> Details tag. The vendor id is the 4 characters following the VEN_ and the device id is the 4 characters following DEV_

Build a character string as follows: pci + (vend) + , + (dev)

It should look something like this when done: pci7890,1234

Then use that string and go to the Wireless link in my signature. Follow the Broadcom instructions.


PS - more Googling says the numbers may not be all that weird - pci14e4,4320 is fairly common, but verify them in Windows anyway before going to the guide.

You can try to go to System Profiler and see if the PCI entry gives vendor and device ids.

System Profiler can be found either through About this Mac or by going to the Utilities folder.

RAMMJET thanks for your help

Well, have to take a shot in the dark. Go to Terminal in the Utilities folder and type:
CODE
ioreg -l | grep "14e4"  

(that command contains a dash followed by lower case L followed by space and vertical bar
If it finds anything then see what the complete string is like I showed above.

If it doesn't find anything then try posting here some output from the ioreg command. Type:
CODE
ioreg -l > ~/Desktop/ioreg.txt
Find the file ioreg.txt on your Desktop and post it in a posting here.
