jaexprojectxd Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Breaking news for those with Sony Vaio V505 series. I have got PCMCIA wireless networking. I've been stuck coding and patching the airport2 kext files forever now since I've been getting a lot of errors. I don't know how Cyrana and Langat got theres to work but on my vaio in the command line I had to insert a " / " before going into the system directory. Now the kext loads fine. Internet speed is WAY faster than the USB way. Thanks Cyrana! The cards I confirmed that are working are 1) The Belkin 54g 2) Linksys WPC54G w/ speedbooster v 1.1 3) Microsoft MN-720 *note* i just figured out that when i boot in acpi mode, the card and airport hangs my system. everything works in x86pc mode though =) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2213-wireless-pcmcia-working-on-vaio-v505/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollo Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 so you did the cyrana airport2 thing? what airport2 file did you use? The one linked in this thread - http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=1263 I did the same (I think I already said) but none of the pcmcia wireless cards I own have the broadcom chipset kext loads fine though, so at some point I'll get one of the cards you list above and give it a whirl!
