wangjiajun Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I have a wireless card (0x168C, 0x58A) in my Thinpad T60. After updating to 10.5.7, no airport card can be found. Is there any method to get it working? P.S. Replacing IO80211Family.kext with old one would allow me to use WEP. However it does not support WPA nor 802.11x authentication. I wish there is a "new" driver to drive my atheros card perfectly. Thanks for any clue!

wangjiajun Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have a kext which I downloaded from Internet, by putting it back into the Extensions folder, I am able to use the wireless now. However, no WPA nor 802.1x is supported.

wangjiajun Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Here is the one I mentioned. Copy this to Extensions folder and replace, then repair the system cache chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext P.S. This kext is working with WEP but no WPA nor 802.1x for me. It may also cause internet connection to be unstable, as is seen in my laptop. Good luck with these would want to try it!
