Toshiba with RTL8187b onboard.

[Yukon Kid]

Looking for some help getting my built in wifi to work.

First I am running iPortable snow off of an external drive.

I have everything working, although need some tweeks.

The only thing that is not working is the built in wifi.

 

I do have the RTL8187b realtek drivers and it works, I have a dongle 8187 that I use to run online when I boot OSX.

 

Here is the kicker. the internal shows as 8197, no big deal as I added it to the kext.

when I use system profiler the on board wifi shows up as a "composite device" an when I look at the device it shows up with the RTL information.

 

if I use DSDTSE and look at the USB devices the onboard wifi shows and it does not have a device name like the

dongle.

 

As the computer is booting up the onboard wifi flashes as though it is being probed.

I think this will be a simple fix but I am not sure what needs to be tweeked.

Is it the kernal or the usb kext or can it be done with DSDT mod.

willing to try, only need slight guidance.
