AirPort Extreme, Need Help

[samex]

Hi,

I have bought a Apple Airport Extreme from eBay.

But the bad thing is that I have a "Lenovo T61" Notebook. It´s block the WLAN Card permanetly. I have found a Person that have modified BIOS but he wont Answer me PM´s.

 

I must write the Vendor,Subvendor,Device and Subdevice ID in the Whitelist from my BIOS but I doesnt known this ID´s. I doesnt have a second Notebook. Only my Computer.

 

Here the Data from the miniPCI card :

 

Model No.: AR5BXB72

 

----

 

I have found this in the Internet :

 

== Atheros AR5008E-3NX ==
||Chipset:||AR5BXB72 ||
||Supports:||802.11a 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n||
||Interface:||mini PCI-Express x1||
||Notes:||Works flawlessly out-the-box with Madwifi using backtrack ||
||Notes:||Needs custom whitelist pached bios for HP Pavilion TX1000 series (tried on tx1270eo) ||
||Notes:||Worked with latest svn build (3737). lspci reports as an Atheros AR5418. On Toshiba A215-S5822, had to add acpi=force to kernel options ||

== Atheros AR5418 ==
||Chipset:||AR5418 802.11abgn||
||Supports:||802.11a 802.11b 802.11g||
||Interface:||PCI-Express x1||
||Notes:||The following works on Apple's MacBook Pro (Core2 Duo T7700 2.4GHz): Linux kernel 2.6.24.7 w/ madwifi-trunk-r3832-20080801||

 

 

I hope someone can tell me the ID´s.

Try the FCC website they have a database of every computer/part for one ever sold in the US of which that would be one for sure I believe they list the PCID in it.

Hmm , Thank I have patched my BIOS now.

 

In DPCI Manager it´s Says it is : 168c:0024

 

But I dont become it to Work on Leo 10.5.8 (iAtkos)

 

I have tried all Introductions that I found in this Board. Nothing helps me. Can anyone tell me how I can make this Work?
