Hello!
I got my HackOS-X running just yesterday, did a native installation, everything is running great (Final Cut for example).
Even my ATI Radeon 9800pro is running as intended, fully supported!!!
Because I'm really into editing video, I bought a no-name 25$ PCI FireWire card today:
It's got the Mac seal printed on it and supports OHCI so I suppose it really should work.
When I open the system profiler it says "No PCI-Cards are installed on this Computer", and when I click on "Fire Wire" I just get a blank page.
Many users on this forums said, those cards would work gr8, however, I just don't get that card to work. Even tried another one from my VistaPC, but my OS-X just doesn't recognize them.
When I updated to 4.9 my Radeon refused to work, until I copied over the old .kext from 4.8, so I think, maybe FireWire will work when copying the old .kext over, too.
Are there any .kext files I can use to install some kind of FireWire drivers ? What .kext's are used by OS-X for handling the FireWire cards at all?
(I suppose the card could run if I installed a .kext from an older version as 4.7 or 4.8)
thx,
- M.S
