aries77 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I did a lot of reseach here and I'm trying to get my wireless D-Link DWL-G650 card to work. I read that I need to extract IONetworkingFamily and IO80211Family.kext from the 10.4.5 Intel update....but after downloading the 10.5 Intel update and using Pacifist...I can't seem to find these two files....where on earth are they? I tried the search function but it finds nothing. Are they within some other compressed folder? Any tips please? Or can someone email me them? The file that I downloaded is - MacOSXUpd10.4.5Intel.dmg....directly from the apple website. It was in a link in a different thread.

Rammjet Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 They should be in System/Library/Extensions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22942-ionetworkingfamily-and-io80211familykext-where-are-they/#findComment-151864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aries77 Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 When using Pacifist to view the contents of the dmg file, there is no System/Library/Extensions path (i.e no System folder). How do I take a screenshot in Mac? I can show the screen I'm looking at.

Rammjet Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Open (double click) the DMG (disk image). Inside is an installer package. Use Pacifist to view the contents of the package. Find System and click on the little arrow to reveal Library, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22942-ionetworkingfamily-and-io80211familykext-where-are-they/#findComment-151875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aries77 Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Thanks Rammjet!! The way you described it in the above post worked and I can find the System/Library/Extension folder. As an fyi for any other mac newbies....what I was doing wrong was moving the .dmg file directly into Pacificist so as a result it was showing me a completely different set of files and folders. As Rammjet instructions....double click the .dmg first then move the package thats inside there into Pacifist to see the System/Libarry/Extension folder.

Rammjet Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 A .dmg file is a disk image file like an .iso file. To access the files within, you must mount the disk image. This is accomplished by double-clicking on the .dmg file. To un-mount the disk image, find the mounted image on the desktop and drag it to the Trash. Or in an open window, find the image in the left pane and click the little up arrow.

aries77 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Need more help please......No progress with the DLink DWL-G650 yet...I'm trying a Internal A/B/G mini-pci card now. When reparing permissions....if I use Disk Utility to repair permissions...is that different than typing the following in terminal? sudo -s chmod -R 755 io80211family.kext chown -R root:wheel io80211family.kext Is it ok to run repair permissions in Disk Utility only? Or is that something completely different and I still have to manually chmod and chown as above?
