ZazzaZ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi all, here is my configuration: ASUS P5KPL-AM EPU MB CPU Core Duo E7500 @ 2,93 Ghz Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT Western Digital Caviar 500 Gb (465Gb) Belkin F5D7001 (LSPCI says Broadcom 4306 id 4320) Hi, I bought a damn wireless card for my PCI slot and I went through a clean installation, sure of I would choose a Broadcom drivers compatible with this card. Well, at first boot nothing so I browsed a lot of forums and nothing, no string add or integer swap worked. So I said, ok I'll just keep my LAN for Internet, is enough. Let's get this Leopard up-to-date! So I installed every update and voilà Airport is enable! I read somewhere that I had to switch in BIOS Plug and Play OS to NO, but it had no effect. The strange thing I note is that the Airport doesn't work if the LAN cable is unplugged.... But I removed it from Network Preferences, so I don't use it. I looks like something electrical. So I think the fix is in the update. I bought the card but IT WAS NOT IN THE OSX86 COMPATIBILITY LIST FOR LEOPARD: i bought it because eBay vendor said it was "natively supported since MAC OS 10,3". You wish! So I'm very lucky. By the by, no connection drops but I had a 4dbi OMNI-DIRECTION ANTENNA. Hope this helps somebody. I hope I'll find a way to make it work with no LAN cable plugged. Have a nice day! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208669-belkin-f5d7001broadcom-4306-working-under-leopard-ideneb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZazzaZ Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 I need to precise that this just works with cpus=1 -f boot flags (set with OSXTools).
