lwilliams1950 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I have a new Dual Core Acer 5672 with OS86 installed. All works except 2 things. It has the Ethernet Grayed out and won't allow me to connect to my ethernet connection. Also I can't change the 1024 X 768 resolution and I have tried the Graphics Mode Boot but doesn't work. It has a Radeon X1400 graphics card and you would think that would work. Thanks in advance.

milesce Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I just bought this machine. I love it, and OSX runs great on it, but I don't have ethernet or wireless working yet. Any suggestions? Have you had any luck? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11810-no-ethernet-on-acer-5672-dual-core-os86-install/#findComment-74256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiekiduk Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Is it running in Vesa mode then? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11810-no-ethernet-on-acer-5672-dual-core-os86-install/#findComment-74292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same machine and same problems you do. I even reinstalled 10.4.3 instead of 10.4.5 to see it that would work. Same problems. No ethernet and no wireless. Maybe somebody will be able to help us here eventually.

milesce Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I'm looking at replacing the wireless card -- Atheros has a new mini card form factor wifi card which should work, but I can't seem to find any place to buy it! A standard mini pci card won't work. In the meantime, will pick up a usb wireless card tommorrow, so I can jettison XP.

I don't have sound or a resolution above 1024 X768. Are you getting sound or higher resolution? If so how did you do it?

milesce Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Still 1024x768. Not really working on that until I get network. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11810-no-ethernet-on-acer-5672-dual-core-os86-install/#findComment-74587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon I went out this morning and bought a D-Link DWL-G122, then downloaded the most recent Mac driver from www.ralink.com (look for drivers for RTL-2500). Reboot, now I have network!

lwilliams1950 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Good deal. I was wondering how that would work. I have a DWL from DLink(forgot the #) but I will put it in and I bet it will work too. Now we just need to figure out the resolution. Are you running 10.3.4 or 10.3.5...?

milesce Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 My understanding is that it needs to have the ralink chipset for the usb to work (and remember to download the drivers from raliink.com). I went to looking for these two models, because others had reported success with them: Belkin F5D7050 Dlink DWLG122 Both have the same chip set. Video next!

indiekiduk Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 How do I tell if it's running in Vesa mode? Look in the graphics section in system preferences and see if quartz extreme and core image are supported. If they arnt its in vesa mode and you have no video acceleration.

ranoa Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 See: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=8864 I picked up AppleAzaliaAudio,kext from there, followed the instructions, and sound works beautifully now. Did you get this to work on the Acer 5672 WLMi? Because i've tried those instructions over and over again and it still seems to not work. Luckily for me I have a USB headset, and USB works like a charm on the 5672 so i'm settling with that for the meantime. Any help to get the onboard audio working would be much appreciated.

Tim Johnson Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 It appears that no networking will work on these laptops -- which is a pain, because the same cards seem to work for others. Right now I'm using: Broadcom 169d (LAN) Broadcom 4311 (Wireless - Dell Truemobile 1390) both of which are reported to work on this forum, but neither do. Can anyone think of a reason these wouldn't be working for us? I know in Windows XP I had to install a chipset driver (?...)
