Acidic Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 hey guys, i finally got mac os x to boot up! everything runs like a charm, except the wireless internet. I found a driver for the built in wireless realtek, and under the available networks window it connected to my wireless internet.... but, when i open safari it doesnt load and says that im not connected to the internet.... not sure what to do, do i have to download another driver or something?? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100309-wifi-and-kalyway-1052/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitallysick Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 go to your network connections and click "add ethernet" you will see a drop down, might be 5 of them, anyways add one and then test it with the realtek window open, i had to do a few trial and error before it would work, but sadly mine wont stay connected Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100309-wifi-and-kalyway-1052/#findComment-716155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTi Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 My card was recognized automatically, i didn't even select drivers to install on Kalyway's install disc. My wireless (I think linksys brand) card on my desktop is recognized as AirPort, really cool !

Acidic Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 wow lucky lol my wifi card is REALLY giving me trouble..... at least he realtek program in charge of the wifi is. everytime i go and tell it to connect, it connects for, about a second then decides to just quit on me and disconnect. In another one of my computers i actually have a pci wireless card, im thinking of installing in this one. Do you think this would be better then using the internal mobo p5w card?

exman Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Realtek Wifi is not 100% compatible with Leopard, even with the official Realtek drivers. I pulled out my dusty 4year old PCI Wifi card, baesd on a Broadcom chipset. Leopard sees it as an Airport and it worked instantly without installing any drivers.
