using mac os x how do you tell what nic/wireless card you have?

[bertybassett]

Got a Dell D620 (with Nvidia NVQ GFX) with ideneb 10.5.5 nforce 1.3 using a villiana keneral but the Wireless/lan cards are not working. Ever thing else is perfect, sound with headphone mute, sleep, reset, shutdon, GFX, bluetooth all perfect.

 

My 64 dollar question is how can I tell what nic and wireless cards I have inside the laptop using the MAC OS? Once I know this information I can use these forums and work out the correct Kext to fix it.

 

Thanks Tom

 

Also one more question can I do keneral updates with Ideneb and villiana keneral. If not will the safeupdate fix stop these from loading?

thanks for the reply but could use device manager if it had windows. Is there an alternative MAC app?

dpcimanager (graphical) or lspci (command line) can tell you, dpcimanager can be found here: http://v4.kazzuya.com/dpcimanager

 

and lspci can be found here (the full lspci command is: lspci-nn ): http://tinyurl.com/PCIUtilsv3-0-0

 

those will tell you the vendor id and device id of all pci devices on your computer, and then you can do some googling with those id's

OSX86 Tools will tell you what pci devices are installed in your system and more. It uses lspci and installs it for you. Here is the link.
