Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG [8086:4220]

[Cerastez]

My wireless card came in a Dell Inspiron 6000

lspci identified the card as:

 

03:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection [8086:4220] (rev 05)

 

I downloaded the Intel® PRO/Wireless® 2200BG from the Project Camphor site here:

http://projectcamphor.mercurysquad.com/downloads/

 

After testing the kext and finding that my wireless did not work, I edited it's info.plist as follows.

 

 

Right click on the VoodooIntel2200BG.kext and select "Show Package Contents."

Open the "Contents" folder.

Open the file "info.plist" with TextEdit.

Type in the change shown in red.

 

		
		        <dict>
           <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
           <string>org.voodoo.wireless.Intel2200BG</string>
           <key>IOClass</key>
           <string>org_voodoo_wireless_Intel2200BG</string>
           <key>IOPCIMatch</key>
           <string>[color="#8b0000"]0x42208086[/color]</string>
           <key>IOProviderClass</key>
           <string>IOPCIDevice</string>
       </dict>

 

Save the "info.plist" file.

Install the modified VoodooIntel2200BG.kext.

hi

 

i've installed the driver on my IBM Thinkpad R52 with this Wificard.

 

i can't access an WEP Network

 

do you have any troubles?

Initially my wireless worked very well, but it started to randomly disconnect. I would go into System Preferences/ Network and turn on and off the airport card a few times, and it would reconnect. Eventually the card disappeared from the Network and I had no wireless.

 

I was able to get it working again by going in to Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and deleting com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and preferences.plist and then re-starting. The random disconnects have continued and I am probably just going to replace this wireless card with a compatable one.
