SLVR6 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I have OS X 10.4.5 installed and running pretty well on a Thinkpad T40, intel wired ethernet works fine. Problem being my router resides in my basement rafters! i have 5 wireless cards currently at my disposal and have had no luck with any despite countless hours of searching! Here is a list of the 5, does anyone have any of these working? PCMCIA Cards Belkin F5D6020 ver. 3.0 - 802.11b - identifies as realtek 8180 - Beta drivers from realtek website don't work Linksys WPC11 ver 3.0 - 802.11b - No luck! Orinoco Gold - 802.11b - PC24E-11-FC and PC24E-11-FC/R (I have to cards with those listings on them) Mini-PCI cards Cisco Aironet 352 mini-pci - 802.11b - internal card on machine, cisco utilities don't seem to work with it. Inlel Pro 2200 - 802.11b/g - Internal card on my thinkpad T42, I know these are not working yet. Toshiba miniPCI - 802.11b - i think this is the same chipset as the Orinoco I can provide anyone with the drivers I have found for the rtl8180 or the cisco if you want to trouble shoot them. I am pretty much lost now! Also have an Actiontec BMDC200 bluetooth card in the machine....no idea about that either. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Ted Shred Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 The wireless adapter in my t42 does not work by default. However, today i plugged in my netgear Rangemax WPN511, loaded up the network control panel and magic..

SLVR6 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Which chipset is in the rangemax. There has to be someone that has at least one of these cards working!
