flyboyovyick Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hi, This is my first post here and my first Hackint0sh. I am having some problems getting my Intel PRO/100 VE Ethernet port to work with OSX 10.6.0. My laptop spec is: Toshiba Satellite A100-062 Intel Core2Duo T5200 @1.6Ghz 1GB DDR2 ram 80gb hdd Intel 900 and something graphics. Now, it has a Intel PRO/3945ABG wireless card in it and i know there isn't a fully working kext for that so i have purchased a Apple Airport Extreme Wirless G card from eBay. Hoping to fit it and have working wireless. So for now i am going through stuff i need kexts for. I have tryed methods listed in the thread stickied above and they haven't worked for me. I am fairly new to Macs, i have a iMac G3 i bought recently and i thought a hackint0sh would be nice. Snow Leopard is very different to Panther so if you guys can help me, you will probably need to n00bify the guide.

LatinMcG Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I am returning my airport card and buying the AR5b91 like you suggested. Will that card work out of the box? Thanks yes i tried 2 variants .. some of the gold pins are missing.. that works fine. and full pins also worked..so yes 99% it works oob 10.6.3+ if you use (leopard) 10.5.8 then get BCM94321MC otherwise snow leo can use AR5B91 once its 10.6.3 or higher. the main issue with older atheros is the device class 200 = LAN.. not 280 =wlan AR5B91 is 280 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/271104-intel-pro100-ve-ethernet-problem-and-airport-problem/#findComment-1766080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
