errandwolfe Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I have a Compaq V5101US with I believe a Broadcom wifi nic in it. I have managed to get the laptop to see the wifi card and when I went into network preferences it found it and added it as an airport card but... It does not seem to find any WiFi networks. I know from my Windows boxes there are several Wifi nets (besides my own) in the area, some open, some secured. Any ideas on what may be going on? OK...I have no idea what happened but all of a sudden the networks appeared. Took about 20 minutes though very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I take it you have clicked on the Airport signal meter in the menu bar and there are no networks there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errandwolfe Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yes Ramjet that was the case. After being powered on for about 20 minutes all of my networks suddenly appeared though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyTV Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Sadly, I'm having the same issue with a Broadcom 4306. The 20 minute wait, doesn't seem to resolve it. JaS 10.4.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
