Nintendo WiFi hack

[nathonix]

distro: Kalyway 10.5.2

computer: dimension 4600c

 

I'm trying to get my nintendo wifi connector to work as a regular ralink rt2500usb wireless card, which can be done in windows by simply editing the standard driver infs to include the correct hardware ids.

 

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector:

 Version:	0.01
 Bus Power (mA):	500
 Speed:	Up to 480 Mb/sec
 Manufacturer:	Nintendo
 Product ID:	0x008b
 Serial Number:	000D0BF891DB
 Vendor ID:	0x0411

i attempted to change the info plist as follows

<key>NintendoWiFi</key>
	<dict>
		<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
		<string>com.Ralink.driver.RT2500</string>
		<key>IOClass</key>
		<string>RT2500USBWirelessDriver</string>
		<key>IOProviderClass</key>
		<string>IOUSBDevice</string>
		<key>bcdDevice</key>
		<integer>1</integer>
		<key>idProduct</key>
		<integer>139</integer>
		<key>idVendor</key>
		<integer>1041</integer>
	</dict>

 

but this gave me no result, and the driver is written for tiger, would that have an effect?

also, did i miss something somewhere?

Check to see what BSD device number it is using USB Prober.

 

I know that the Linksys WRT54G has a bsdDevice value of 4
