xxlvlxx Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hi people, I'm new here, name's Lauren I recently used iPC to install leopard 10.5.6 on my desktop with a Broadcom wireless PCI card. The problem is that with dual core enabled, after a certain length of using Leopard (30 minutes-ish), the airport card suddenly loses connection. When I go into the system prefs pane to try to connect back to a network, suddenly all the networks are gone. It's as if the card itself just suddenly shut down. With cpus=1 the airport never disconnects but my system is a lot slower than i'd hope. Is there any way to fix this besides using cpus=1? Thanks so much, lauren + bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wils Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have the same problem with the IO80211Family.kext from 10.4.8. Are you using the latest kext from 10.5.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxlvlxx Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 I have the same problem with the IO80211Family.kext from 10.4.8. Are you using the latest kext from 10.5.6? I can try upgrading to that kext, are you saying it worked for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxlvlxx Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I did a recent install of iPC 10.5.6 using vanilla kernel and the "broadcom driver". After literally 30 seconds it suddenly disconnects and once again no more networks show up for me to rejoin. I have to reboot to get online again and only lasts for 30 seconds I've tried 10.4.5, 10.4.8 versions of io80211family.kext, and all those did was just gimme "no airport cards installed" period. Why is this happening?? pleease help, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
