goexplodex4 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Finally i successfully have 10.4.5 on my 5150, but for some reason it doesnt see my wireless. In the past i know someone with my exact pc and card it worked, but every time osx loads it says cannot load appleairport2.kext. When i tried installing a patched kext, I got this 172:~ brian$ sudo kextload -t /system/library/extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext kextload: extension /system/library/extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext appears to be valid 10AirPortPCI is not compatible with its superclass, 20IOEthernetController superclass changed? kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /system/library/extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext load failed for extension /system/library/extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output) 172:~ brian$ Can anyone tell me anything I can do?!

goexplodex4 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Sorry can anyone elaborate on that, adding device id and such ???? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11424-appleairport2kext-problems/#findComment-71813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maq Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 first find out what kind of network card you have, and its device id. if you're using windows, download 'system information viewer' (SIV). click on the devices tab and find your wireless card listed. you'll see a string of letters and numbers - the first 2 parts (vendor-dev) are what you need. also post what type of card it is to make it easier for people to give advice.

maq Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 looks like a broadcom card.. check to be sure you have this extension: /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext If so, go to ... /Contents/Info.plist and open it up in a text editor. the formatting only shows up right under os x, but you can do it in windows if you have to. you should see a few lines like this: <string>pci14e4,4312 check to see if one is <string>pci14e4,4320 <-- (your device id) if so, you should already have the extension loaded. if not, add the line or change one of the others to look like that, and do these in terminal: chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions rm /System/Library/Extensions.* reboot if it was already there, or you just did that, go into system prefs. and open up network and it should detect the card. go into airport and make your settings look good and you should be in business. if not, something else is the problem, but your card should be supported.

goexplodex4 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Ok, i did all that and it didnt work. I dont think OSX even sees it because its not under pci under about this apple. Is there any way i can get it to see it? Do I need to put in a device ID for my pcicard controller?
