Balazs Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I have read around a lot of posts all day and I have tried a number of things to get this working. I have a DLINK DWL-G520+ (note the plus sign) in my Sony Machine. It is a PC(I) card. OSX (10.4.4 with the 10.4.5 update) on it runs but with some visual glitches (some areas of the screen show something that was there but isn't.). Getting to the point: In system profiler when I look under PC and PCI cards nothing can be found. I have tried many different things, such as replacing the IO80211Family.kext file with one from 10.4.4 (and even Apple's own Intel Updated 10.4.5 from their site) and I have went into the following parts of the IO80211Family.kext and added the device ID (at least I think it is that) for the Dlink card (I believe the device id is 9066 from what I found in Windows): System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/AirportAtheros5424.kext/contents/info.plist <string>pci106b,0086</string>(I changed the highlighted part to 9066) <string>pci168c,14</string>(I changed the highlighted part to 9066) [*] System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/contents/info.plist <string>pci14e4,4311</string> (I changed the highlighted part to 9066) I have added the dev id, and made sure all the permissions were set right. I then deleted the extensions.kextcache file in /System/Library/ and rebooted. Still nothing shows up in the ports part of the network preference pane in system prefs. I have read about changing en0 to en1 somewhere but I don't know which file to change. I don't know what else to do. I also tried replacing the AppleAirport2.kext file, but that didn't do anything either. I'm sorry that this was so long winded, but I didn't want anyone replying answers if I had already tried them. I hope someone can help. Thanks, Balazs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12399-help-with-wireless-not-recognised-dlink-dwl-g520/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
