mushupork5 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 10.4.5 recognized that I had a PCI wireless card installed and detected it as Airport but it wouldn't connect. After doing this, little tweak it works 100%. Try it out if you have been having trouble. edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and change "en0" to "en1" and "0" to "1" as below: <string>en1</string> <key>IOInterfaceUnit</key> <integer>1</integer> credit is given to another member on this forum, I just can't find the original post. So, thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10749-how-to-1045-wireless-pci-networking/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlepage Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 This has TOTALLY worked for me. Activated the AirPort extension. THANK YOU! quickie : see the preferences.plist in the same folder for crunchy and amusing details. You can change the adapter names if you want. Nice!

monty0501 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hey, I have a Linksys Wireless B card, but it is not recognized as installed in the first place, anybody have any thoughts on that? I have 10.4.5 installed. Basically to check if its installed, I try to get on the net, and then the Network Utility pops up and it only shows Phone Modem as one of the options. How can I get the OS to recognize my wireless card in the first place? BTW its via PCI Thanks for your help:) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10749-how-to-1045-wireless-pci-networking/#findComment-93203 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow this guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=23684 except there is a typo. For the first file edit, use this command: sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/Info.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10749-how-to-1045-wireless-pci-networking/#findComment-205211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're digging up excuses to just not do it, aren't you? Would I have suggested that guide if I didn't think it was the right one? the compatibility list says modify plist to include 14e4, 4325 "14e4" is the vendor id for Broadcom "4325" is the device id Your Microsoft card has a Broadcom chip driving it and you need to edit the Broadcom driver in OSX. But you would be wise to go to Windows and verify that the device id is really 4325 rather than depending upon the wiki to know what it is.
