adamsetzler Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Unpack IO80211Family.kext.zip and AppleAirPort.kext.zip. Move both files to /System/Library/Extensions/ (drag and drop via Finder). Open Terminal. (Applications > Utilities > Terminal). sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext Reboot. Open Terminal again. sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext Reboot. You should now see the baseball diamond next to the Bluetooth and/or Speaker symbols. Click it. Go through the network assistant and select AirPort (should be first option). Apply and close. Click the baseball diamond again and select your wireless SSID (the nextwork's name). WPA should be working. Enter your key (if you have one.) Everything should work now!

adamsetzler Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 That's NOT entirely true. Depending on the version you're running, you might or might not. In my case, running 10.4.5, I did indeed need a modified AppleAirPort2.kext!

Would you be kind enough to tell me what you're running (10.4.3, 10.4.4, whatever)?? I think I might have given these files a shot (and gotten a kernel panic) but I'll try it again. Thanks a lot!!

tristan202 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I have used these 2 kext files before, and everything worked fine. Now, after reinstall it won't load the AppleAirport2.kext anymore. Dunno why. Did everything the same way as I did the last time. This is what it tells me: sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext 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) What have I done wrong?
