JaccoH Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I have been trying OS X on and off for a while. But I never got my Broadcom wifi going. I did get detected as airport thingy etc etc. The only problem: i wouldnt work, the led wouldnt even turn on. But I am also a Linux users and I know you need this: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~tauber/acerhk/ to get it going in Linux. An other option for this: http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html These tools are like a replacement tool for what the Launch Manager from Acer does in Windows XP. Unfortunately I am not much of a developer and I wouldnt be able to port the AcerHK util to Mac. Still I felt like I should let you ppl in on these thought. What do you guys think?

Suser Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yes it does work, I have a broadcom wireless card in my Acer Ferrari 3200LMi and it works but you also have to modify the file NetworkInterfaces.plist to activate it. Otherwise you will have an airport icon with all options grayed out.

Andras Kenez Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Maybe Ferrari is different than Aspire... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12662-acer-broadcom-wifi-solution/#findComment-80857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
