Cr0n_J0b Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 hey everyone. I'm trying to get my DWL-G630 card to work under OSx86 10.4.6. I know that it has the Atheros chipset, but I'm not sure how to get it functioning. The lights on the card don't come on and I can't configure it with the setup program. I have read in another related article: Take IO80211Family.kext and IONetworkFamily.kext from 10.4.5 to get to work. Edit /Library/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist (see forum) This was to get the G510 running...and I'm wondering if the same would work for the G630. The question I have is how to get the .kext files that they are talking about. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24395-trying-to-get-my-dlink-g630-to-work-under-1046/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Follow all the steps of this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=23684 Except: Edit this file: /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros5424.kext/Contents/Info.plist Insert this string: pci168c,1a Cross your fingers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24395-trying-to-get-my-dlink-g630-to-work-under-1046/#findComment-162784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr0n_J0b Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well, what I did was install the Atheros drivers from the 10.4.5 update...that was based on a different thread. still not working. As for editing the plist file the pci168c,1a was already there... so i didn't do anything. also, the thread you gave was for the BRCM chipset, but i figured that was just a reference to the generic way to fix things for some given chipset. I have the Atheros... So now I'm stuck again. I think I have the older IO80211 drivers, but they aren't working and I'm not sure what to do about it. any help would be appreciated. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24395-trying-to-get-my-dlink-g630-to-work-under-1046/#findComment-163381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cr0n_J0b Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 So here is what I have so far. I tried the 10.4.5 drivers from the update package, and i edited the Info.Plist file to include the 168c,1a device, that didn't work. I then tried reloading the 10.4.6 drivers from that update and edited that file...I changed permissions and rebooted, but still nothing. My next bet is to load up the 10.4.7 updated drivers and see if these do anything good for me. Let me know if anyone has suggestions. by the way this is what my console says; 2006-08-13 11:13:05.457 SystemUIServer[108] lang is:en Aug 13 11:13:06 localhost mDNSResponder: Adding browse domain local.
