chpe88 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Well, I am running OSx86 10.4.6, installed from the HOTiSO. It runs flawlessly. I have an AMD Athlon 64 cpu supporting SSE2 and SSE3 with an nForce 4 chipset motherboard and obviously a Linksys WMP11 (rev v2.7) (BCM4301) (sitting in an optimized for networking PCI slot). From every source I can see, my wireless card's model is in fact the Broadcom 4301. I've edited AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext's info.plist to include "<string>pci14e4,4301</string>". I've changed: <key>APMonitorMode</key> <false/> ----> to <true/> I've kextloaded AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext and set the permissions by typing: chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions I've cleared the kextcache and reinstated it. When i type "ioreg -l | grep pci14e4" I get this message saying it is compatible: | | | +-o pci14e4,4301@9 <class IOPCIDevice, registered, matched, acti$ | | | "name" = "pci14e4,4301" | | | "IOName" = "pci14e4,4301" | | | "compatible" = <"pci1737,4301","pci14e4,4301","pciclass,028$ Infact there are two, one that says, "pci1737,4301" and the line i put in, "pci14e4,4301". Both show up compatible. I type, "kextstat | grep Brcm" and get: 70 0 0x2578e000 0x68000 0x67000 com.apple.driver.AppleAirPortBrcm4311 (100.9) <64 16 11 2> I reboot time and time again, over and over, and have no "baseball diamond" icon appear and have not ever had a "NetworkInterfaces.plist" file inside of the SystemConfiguration folder. Is it a problem that I didn't use a different version of the IO80211Family.kext? I just straight up edited the fresh package provided by the OSx86 10.4.6 installation. I have tried every guide and tutorial on the OSx86 Project's websites but have had no luck, that's why I'm here. Surely I could be missing something? I feel like pulling out my hair!!! *edit* I'm thinking it's maybe an issue of why the AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext is not being loaded on start up after being loaded in the OS. I am new to this so I don't know hwo to make sure it is loaded automatically. Thanks for any help, -Chris Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22855-linksys-wmp11-rev-v27-bcm4301/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpe88 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well judging by the amount of replies, I would suppose either my card is not right or my card is not supported even though it is shown to be compatible? Thanks for any help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22855-linksys-wmp11-rev-v27-bcm4301/#findComment-152582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iammoptop Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Did you ever get the WMP11 v2.7 card working? I have a PCI version of the card and it does not show up in system profiler.
