sgx Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 hello I have a dwl-g510 on 10.4.6 and i did every suggestion i can find. I got io80211family.kext from 10.4.5 update and i got the file in the plugins folder of ionetworkingfamily.kext and put it in the ionetworkingfamily.kext of 10.4.6. I also edited the plist in airportatheros5424.kext. I did ther chmod and chown permisions thing on io80211family.kext. All of this gave me an airport icon and when i click it it says airport: not configured. When i open my network preferences i see my ethernet card and 2 gray airport cards. I really need some help.

Rammjet Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Try the en0 -> en1 trick http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=147548 Might be a good idea to repair permissions in Disk Utility afterwards.

DWW Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've also downloaded every single combo update I can get from Apple, 10.4.2-10.4.6 and none of them contain any file with anything like IO80211 in the name. I searched them all with Pacifist. Has this necessary file been deleted from the updates, and if so, where is it still available?

Rammjet Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Get the Intel updates not the PPC updates. Open the .dmg file and find the .pkg file inside. Open that with Pacifist and go to System -> Library -> Extensions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24943-dwl-g510-problem/#findComment-178283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWW Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ok, I found those. IO8211Family.kext kextloaded with no problems. The 5424 sub kext verified has 168c,1a in it. Deleted extensions.kextcache and extensions.mkext, rebooted. Still, no joy. System Profiler has no idea the card is there, and it just blinks. Doesn;t show up in network, etc. More work to be done. I'll be digging through the forums. Any time saving suggestions? Tks!

munky Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 as i just found out to my BITTER disappointment, this card has three revisions, all with different chipsets. i have the revision c2 which has a ralink rt61 chipset - not recognised as airport, which is why i bought this damn card.

Rammjet Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 the revision c2 which has a ralink rt61 chipset - not recognised as airport Of course, you went and got the Ralink drivers and installed them to allow the card to run even though it still won't run as Airport. http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24943-dwl-g510-problem/#findComment-212152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The I opened the Info.plist from CardBusWirelessDriver.kext <key>CardBus</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleidentifier</key> <string>com.CardBus.driver.WirelessDriver</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>CardBusWirelessDriver</string> <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x02011814 0x18140201</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOPCIDevice</string> </dict> Damm, should this be my problem? Where is my cardbus device? I simply inserted 0x03021814 to <string>0x02011814 0x18140201 0x18140302</string>[/b repaired permissions and gave it a try..... Still no go. kextload -t RT61CardBusDriver.kext comes up again with 17RT61CardBusDriver is not compatible with its superclass, 20IOEthernetController superclass changed? Now I have no idea the get this card work. Can anyone help us?
