geomorphosis Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 WMP54GS v1.1 How I got mine to work. 1. Open OSX86TOOLS. 2. Click "View PCI Device" 3. Click Run LSPCI 4. Find Wireless Card mine was " 06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02)" 5. Note the id # in red. Save that info for later. 6. Go to System/Library/Extensions ---> Right Click IO80211Family.kext ....Click "Show Package Contents" 7. Go to Contents/Plugins ---> Right Click AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext ...Right Click "Show Package Contents" 8. Go to Contents/Info.plist --->Open Info.plist with TextEdit. 9. Go down the page to where you see all the strings....Mine was... <key>IONameMatch</key> <array> <string>pci106b,4e</string> <string>pci14e4,4320</string> <string>pci14e4,4316</string> <string>pci14e4,4314</string> <string>pci14e4,4312</string> </array> 10. I deleted all the strings except 2. the first and mine...which was 14e4:4318 from earlier (step 4) So it looked something like this: <key>IONameMatch</key> <array> <string>pci106b,4e</string> <string>pci14e4,4318</string> </array> 11. I'm not sure if step 9 and 10 are necessary but I deleted them to make sure there were no other ids for the adapter to confuse itself with. 12. This step is very important: Go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ Open NetworkInterfaces.plist 13. My board has 2 ethernet ports and a newly installed WMP54GS. So I had 3 Interfaces. First Adapter en0, integer number = 0 Second Adapter en1, integer number = 1 Wireless Adapter en2, integer number = 2 I then changed the second adapter and wireless "en" numbers around and it worked. IE: First Adapter en0, integer number = 0 Second Adapter en2, integer number = 2 Wireless Adapter en1, integer number = 1 14. Reboot 15. Side Note: My card would not connect to the router because I was using a 64 bit WEP. I changed my routers WEP to a 128 bit key and presto...im on the internet now. I am very new to mac and I had to go to about 10 threads in order get all this info. I am not a mac professional by any means, so any technical info that you might want to know...don't ask me. Thanks to all of the guys on here that contribute that help noobs like me.
