Hi Folks,

 

Can't seem to get this working at all. I have tried adding the Broadcom model number (4315) to the file: -

 

/System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Info.plist

 

But the card doesnt seem to show in System Profiler->Hardware->PCI Cards or in Network->Airport Card

 

The wireless card works fine in windows vista.

 

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? The IO80211Family.kext is red, does that signify anything? I used the Kalway 10.5.2 installation.

 

Thanks

Ash

Hi Folks,

 

Just to let people know I got it working ;)

 

I downloaded the bcm43xx_enabler_0.5.1pre.sh file (others didnt work) from http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=51725

 

I had tried a few other things, so i think my Kext was messed up somehow, The kernel started panicing. I needed to copy back the original backup of the IO80211Family.kext. Only then run the script, it was then - after that it was detected as an Airport card.

 

Hope this helps someone

All the best,

Ash
