cyrana Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Yeah, but he tried a LUCENT card in the airport slot - a slot designed for a BROADCOM. The device was AUTOMATICALLY loaded because it was in the airport slot, and it worked. That isn't possible, it still needs the proper chipset on the card to work. All an airport slot is is a special minipci slot in newer Apples, or a bog-standard (but supported) pcmcia slot on other machines.

kday Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 My Broadcom is also being detected as built-in ethernet. The kext loads fine and the wireless LED now comes on. The airport icon appears at the top, but it says "not configured". Anyone have a solution for this yet?

Nickd29 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I have gotten the kext moddification to succesfully load. However, it will not recognize my Truemobile 1300. The PCMCIA card icon pops up in the top corner and there are not any errors booting in verbose mode, any ideas would be helpful. The computer is an ASUS V6V. UPDATE: the airport icon now shows up, however the icon says that it is not configured and is greyed out.. Under the System Profiler it says; Wireless Card type: Third Party Wireless Card Current Wireless Network: Airport is currently turned off. Update 2: The card now turns on and lights up, but I still can't turn Airport on. Update 3: Running this application I can detect my wireless network using --scan http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...050715001815547 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1263-using-darwin-airport-driver-with-osx86-1041/page/8/#findComment-14289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokodude Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 is there an easier way to do this now - i dont have a darwin cd or gcc at the moment and have very limited internet access. is there a precompiled driver that i can use and install?

masterorg Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well, I just downloaded cyrana's file, double click it to extract its contents revealing a file "AppleAirPort2". I then opened up Terminal and change my directory to where the file was located and proceeded typing the following commands in the same order. $ sudo mv AppleAirPort2 System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext/Contents/MacOS/ $ sudo chown -R root:wheel System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext $ sudo cp -r System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext /System/Library/Extensions <<--- When this line of command was typed, I got an error about the two directories are identical but I just ignored it. $ sudo kextload System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext And finally, enjoy!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I need help, when i try to kextload, a message regarding authentication of file coming up. It says error on owner/permission. First 3 step went ok... What can I do?

sixstring77 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 sokodude---There is. On page 2 of this thread cyrana posted a compiled and working .kext along with instructions to install. The link on page 2 to the file expired so a new link was posted on page 8. That link is http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2VYEAD0...TB1R03QEP56IDWR You'll have to actually read some of the posts to install it.

What can I do? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had this as well, I fixed it by going to Utilities -- Disk Utility -- Selecting the partition that OS X is on and then selecting --- Repair Disk Permissions. It worked for me anyway.

kday Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Good news! If your Broadcom card is being detected as "Built-in ethernet" and the Apple Airport status icon says "Airport: Not Configured", I have a solution. It worked for me, so it will probably work for you. Open up terminal: cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources sudo ./airport --associate Now just type in your SSID and WEP key and you should be ready to surf. You can also scan for SSIDs by typing: ./airport --scan hope this helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1263-using-darwin-airport-driver-with-osx86-1041/page/8/#findComment-14624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kday Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Also, can someone else figure out how to save a configuration file so we don't have to type this all the time? thanks. edit: it looks like the configuration file is located at: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist I'm just not sure exactly where to put my WEP key. If someone else finds out please let us know.

kday Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 @sokodude I can't enable my broadcom wireless in OS X either. I have to make sure it's enabled in windows, and then boot into OS X. After I am in OS X, I can turn it off, but I can't turn it back on.
