Apocalypse Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hey guys, I know this has probably been brought up before. But I'll bring it up again. Okay. I have a gateway (tower (836GM)) computer, I have successfulyl installed Mac OS X 10.4.4 (or 10.4.6 cannot remmeber exactly it's been awhile since I checked) I'll update later, but, I cannot get on the internet, it seems that you guys have mostly laptops to do your interneting, and I suppose the Intel Internal Wireless card is read as airport by the os, but since I have a tower, I have a linksys internet card. specifically, Wireless-G PCI Adapter (WMP54G), but for the life of me I have no idea as how to get the Mac OS to see it as airport or whatever. Do you think you guys can help me? I'd be very appreciative. If you want some specifics. Intel Pentium D 820 1 gig of ram (2x512) 500 gig harddrive (2x250s) sata 250 for xp, 250 for mac os. No raid. Nvidia 7900GT Creative Audigy 2ZS (however I have sigmatel and I need to figure out how to run that as well, because I have no sound and I udnno how to have mac os recognize the sigmatel.) ATI Radeon TV Tuner Linksys wireless card I also have a direct ethernet port on my mobo, but from what I understand is that mac's don't use ethernet ports anymore, so that the issue becomes that, ethernet it not recognized by the os.

Jeb0921 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Macs do use ethernet. The new macs have gigabit ethernet lans on all of them. I am using my mobo ethernet with a linksys router and cable modem as I type this. If it's not working, search for your ethernet type/model and see if a driver is available for it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24084-linksys/#findComment-160016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Drivers? What do you mean? I have xp drivers already for my Linksys, but my ethernet I'm not too sure about. I can plug my ethernet in and ti works but only on windows. So again i'm a bit confused.
