Papapenguin Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I just installed Mac OS X 10.4.5 on an IBM X31. Able to boot up ok. Ethernet works fine. Is it possible to use the Intel wireless card?

Bruce Wang Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 If you can have an Atheros based minipci wireless card, you can hack IBM's BIOS and replace the original wireless card .....like what I did.

djtrix Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 If you can have an Atheros based minipci wireless card, you can hack IBM's BIOS and replace the original wireless card .....like what I did. Any idea how to do this "hacking" for pci express cards? i recently bought an AR5006EX card from atheros to replace my Intel Pro Wireless 3945. Everything works fine, except i cant get the toggle switch working. Any ideas?
