macuser9214 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 SORRY, i know this is in the wrong forum, but I usually get a better responce in this forum..... My question is... Someone in another forum said that the vender id for their wireless card (same as mine) is 0X168c001a But later said "4 charater , 4 character" theres more than 8 characters in that id!!!! HOW DO I INSTALL MY CARD? ITS a d-link dwl-510. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenepp Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 It's formatted like this: <string>pci168c,001a</string> You need to add this (if it's not already there) to the info.plist in IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirportAtheros5424.kext/Contents Also make sure your NetworkInterfaces.plist in /Library/Prefrences/SystemConfiguration is setup properly. You'll need to make sure any instances of "en0" are changed to "en1" and also make sure "IOInterfaceUnit" is set to "1". -Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Someone in another forum said that the vender id for their wireless card (same as mine) is 0X168c001a But later said "4 charater , 4 character" theres more than 8 characters in that id!!!! The vendor id = 168c is 4 characters The device id = 001a is 4 characters The string used in setting your device information may be of two forms: For some drivers, you would use it in the form: 0x168c001a as in <string>0x168c001a</string> In other drivers, you would use it in the form: pci168c,001a as in <string>pci168c,001a</string> A quick examination of the info.plist file you are editing should give you a clue as to which form is required. To be sure you did everything correctly, 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 In another thread, I posted to you that this card seems to have a Realtek RTL8180L chipset and there is no driver solution on OSX.
