pablo631 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I bought the Trendnet TEW-623PI for my hack because I saw that it was supported out of the box in the wireless section on the HCL. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...10.5.2#Wireless Now that I have the card it's not working. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo631 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Thanks for the help. I installed the 10.4 PCI driver from here http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html since there was no 10.5 driver for PCI. It didn't work. Ok after a little more digging, I found another driver for 10.5 that works.found it here http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...10.5.2#Wireless http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/..._2007_11_26.dmg It works, although its wicked, wicked slow. So slow that I can't even use it. Anyone else have the same problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo631 Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 I paid $50 for it. I'm not expecting it to set the world on fire with blazing speed, but it should at least out perform B, which it doesn't even come close to doing. It's worse then dial up if you have ever used that. It could be the antennas, but i think it must be the driver. I have a mac mini right on top of my hackintosh and the has an internal wireless G chip, which I currently use as a big expensive wireless adapter for my hack. So I'm guessing it's the driver. Do you have any other recommendations for a good PCI solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protist Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 MagiCicada, I have this same problem. No combination of drivers has worked so far, nor does upgrading to 10.5.3. Could this be the product of using the vanilla kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
