Jeff Huang Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I installed iAtkos v4i last night, with minimum options. Just installed options that my system had, and it worked. That welcome music was so exhilirating! Anyway, my next project if getting a wifi express card that works natively in OSX. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Jeff Huang Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Broadcom 4311 works good, might have to do a BIOS hack to stop the whitelist check though My laptop's working on a F.2 something version bios. I was thinking more a express card or USB wifi solution. I don't want to have to buy the part and see that my pci-e doesn't work... any USB or express card options you know of?

LRZRAGE Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I used a Linksys 54g USB Wifi in OS X and it worked great. I've attatched the kext if you would like it and copied the directions. Install the DMG and reboot then type the following in a terminal window: sudo -s (enter your password) sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/RT73USBWirelessDriver.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/RT73USBWirelessDriver.kext cd /System/Library rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extenions.kextcache sudo diskutil repairPermissions / reboot The usb wifi should be detected as ethernet and you will have to hit apply in network under system preferences.

Thanks... before I read your post, I went out and bought a Dlink DWA-643 ExpressCard. It does work when you boot up with it plugged in and it comes out as an airport card, but I notice that my connection drops and reconnects randomly. I'm about to return the card to get a linksys usb, the WUSB54GC, I just hope this is the correct model which you mentioned above. But thanks anyway. You've been a big help.

LRZRAGE Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 WUSB54GC is correct. With the USB wifi card being detected as ethernet, you will not able to enter WEP/WPA encryptions under network in system prefs. RA Link software will automatically start when you plug in the USB wifi and from there in that software you can enter encryptions and such.
