lexzep Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hello everyone, I' ve just install Kaliway Leopard 1.5.2 with the vanilla kernel (i' ve try every kernel). I' ve got an internal USB WiFi with a Ralink 73 USB Chipset (MSI-6877, my laptop is a MSI-VR420). I' ve got a problem with it, because when I boot in normal mode the ralink software did'nt detect my WiFi card. But MacOSX detect it in the "system profiler", maybe the driver cannot be load. But when I boot in Safe Mode (whith the -x option) it work very well! Any ideas ? Thanks in advance!

banhong Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 boot with kernel flag -f will make it work. but in 10.5.2 i think RT73 will cause random Kernel Panic. this problem disappear in 10.5.3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108556-rt73-usb-work-only-in-safe-mode/#findComment-799581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYoNi Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi there, Well I have the same issue as mentioned above. I just did a fresh installion of Kalyway 10.5.2, I turned it on with the -f flag. As result the OS detected my MSI 6877 \ RT73 as an ethernet card who don't get IP address. While checking it out with the wireless application it allways telling me that the radio is off. I hope that in 2 hours I'll finish to try & update to Kaylway 10.5.3 & see if it helps. Any suggestion for buying a usb wlan stick that will work on leopard?! :\ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108556-rt73-usb-work-only-in-safe-mode/#findComment-835376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
