DMP Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 After another install whereby i selected no additional wifi kexts, i finally got mi ASUS PCI wifi card up and running. Here's how i did it! Clean install, Used the broadcom 43xx enabler. sh script. Removed my pic wifi card Reseated it in a different PCI slot And there you have it ! Hope it lasts DMP Hi again, Love OSX , beginning to hate my network adaptor though... After many re installs and rooting about with my wireless pci card i am still having issues. My card is detected and i am able to connect to my wireless router, but the speed is painfully slow. I am using DHCP settings automatically allocated, by os x, cannot seem to get it right though. BTW I am using the bcm43xx_enabler.sh to get the card to be recognized. My asus notebook connects without any problems.... any ideas? I have included some ping results below.

lazd Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'd like to say that I too was able to solve my 40+% packet loss problems by moving my ASUS WL-139 from my top most PCI slot to the middle slot (I did not try to bottom slot). I now have 0% packet loss and am a happy camper. For reference, I'm on a GA-EP35-DS3L under 10.5.4. EDIT: It seems this only temporarily solved my problem. I was only able to duplicate this behavior twice. It seems to go back to tons of packet loss after a restart, and I'm not sure it had anything to do with the moving of the PCI card.
