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
