huong23 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have a Belkin F5D7000 wireless G card installed in my XP pc. The Belkin Wireless Utility reports that the card has a RT2560 chipset (Version 2.2.7.0 and Date: July 29, 2004). Looking up the chipset on yahoo links me to the RAlink chipset manufacturer...which I read may work under OSX86. Can someone verify that the Belkin F5D7000 (with chipset RT2560) will be usable (WEP and wireless) under OSx86? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgmccollum Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 It works on my PPC Mac using the Apple Airport drivers. It is not labeled as Mac compatible, but it works just fine. Not sure if it will work on OSX86... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitblaster Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I am trying to get the laptop counterpart, the F5D7010 to work on it as well... but no success as of yet. I am running OSX86 and I say that from what I have used Mac computers in the past (only in stores), OSX86 seems much faster! But yeah, I cant seem to get my belkin card working, I am curious about the UNIX kernal inside of the MacOS though... maybe ndiswrapper... nah probably wouldnt work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huong23 Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 try ralinkhttp://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm works for the usb, try the pci <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The PCI version for OSX 10.4 definitely does not work because it is the old version (USB one is dated August 28....PCI one is dated May ). I tried loading the PCI version but it did not work, most likely the drivers were PPC code instead of Intel binaries like the USB version. The USB version will not load for my system, even when I try to edit the Info.plist in RT2500USBWirelessDriver.kext to include my card (Vendor: 1814 Device: 0201 ) but that didn't work either. Can someone please help me to get my Belkin F5D7000 PCI card (Ralink chipset) to work under OSx86? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
