Coyoti Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi, Ok so I have a fully working Leopard install on a HP m8190a desktop. Except for my internet. Now I know that the Intel 82566DC-2 Ethernet card I have ain't going to work though some people, I have read, are making headway on this. What I am hoping to get working though is my wireless. Unfortunately I don't know what the device is actually called. Leopard is recognising the device in system profiler but I don't know how to get it to use it for internet connectivity. The following is verbatim from Leopard System Profiler USB High-Speed Bus: Host Controller Location: Expansion Slot Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBEHCI PCI Device ID: 0x293c PCI Revision ID: 0x0002 PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086 Bus Number 0xfa 802.11 bg WLAN Version 0.01 Bus Power 500 Speed up to 480 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Ralink Product ID: 0x0004 Vendor ID: 0x15a9 Ok so?? Does anyone know the name of this device? Better yet does anyone know how to get it to work. Is it just a case of turning it on or do i need drivers or to hit into kexts? Please help me, I desperatly want to make this my main computer OS; I hate vista so much, especially after how many times it crashed while I tried to get leopard up and running. Ty for the time guys, I look forward to someones reply helping a new hackintosh user out Mitch Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114587-help-a-noob/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kytzu Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 if your wifi is recognized then it's simple. go in system prefernces and open network tab. first time you open this you just have to press apply and then you should be able to press power on radio. after that you should see a wifi icon in right upper corner of your desktop, select there a network and connect.

Coyoti Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 when i go into network preferences the only thing I am seeing is a firewire connection. I can't find anything even remotely hinting at airport or wireless or anything. when i click + at the bottom of the list to try and add the connection all i get is firewire info.

Coyoti Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Bump. Hey guys Just waiting on this one problem so that I can swap over to Mac OS full time. I'm so sick of windows. Please help me. Even if you could just tell me the name of the device so I can hunt information for it down.
