Ok I have just installed the 10.4.7 JaS on my computer, everything runs great but I can't seem to get my wireless card working. I have researched and tried a few things with no luck. Can someone give me a step to step guide, because this is my first time using OSX. (I do have basic Linux knowledge)

 

If I can get this working then my Windows partition is gone.

 

Thank you for your time/help.

First you need the vendor id and device id of the card.

 

Go to Windows -> Device manager. Find the wireless card. Get Properties on it. Click on the Details tab. The vendor id follows "VEN_" and the device id follows "DEV_"

 

Lets say the Vendor ID = 168c and the Device ID = 2041. From this you build a string that looks like this: pci168c,2041

 

Follow this Broadcom guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=23684

 

except:

 

Edit this file: sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros5424.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

And add the following string: <string>pci168c,2041</string> but using your values
