smnhtkmpr Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I successful installed Snow Leopard (Retail DVD) on my GA-P35-DS3 Board and everything works well, but WLAN does not. It`s an USB Wlan Stick with a Ralink RT73 chipset. The stick is shown in USB-Devices but not recognized by the network panel ...has anyone an idea how to fix that?

pajdek Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 On the ralink support site there is no 64bit kext, only 32bit for 10.5, but i can confirm that dlink dwl-g122 (rt73 chip) works on SL when booting in 32 bit mode, 64b no go. Prolly we will have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yako Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 How did you get it to work? I have tried various RT73 drivers on Snow Leopard, but they all give this message that "the kext can't be used". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No more of Windows Crap Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I successful installed Snow Leopard (Retail DVD) on my GA-P35-DS3 Board and everything works well, but WLAN does not.

Simon The only way i got this card to work properly like in 10.5.x versions, I booted with "-x32" flag. I found this out after busting my head several times. You could possibly add this flag if there is not an option of getting a new card (which i plan to do so i can get the airport enabled instead of a third party app.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
