tobitronics Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hi guys, Soon I will be switching from wifi to wired connection on my hackintosh. Currently my wifi is provided by a ralink usb adapter together with the ralink wifi utility in OSX. However I want to get rid of all the wifi related software when I am switching. Is removing the ralink utility enough to remove the drivers (kexts?) as well? Or do I have to do something else as well? I just want to be thorough. Thanks in advance!

Allan Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Remove the software. you installed some kext for Wifi? If yes uninstall. after this, repair permissions and rebuild cache, with Kext Wizard.

And utility uninstall is done by dragging the .app to the trashcan right?
