zedzed Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 One of my friends installed the PPC drivers and now his P5W-DH hacintosh will not boot. Does anyone know how to uninstall these drivers rather than reinstall the OS?

fabcat Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 One of my friends installed the PPC drivers and now his P5W-DH hacintosh will not boot. Does anyone know how to uninstall these drivers rather than reinstall the OS? Your friend will need to delete the following: /System/Extensions/Library/rtl8187.kext /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache /System/Library/Extensions.mkext Does your friend have a way to make changes to the disk that macosx is on? Can he (or she) mount this disk on another system so that he can delete the files? If he can, he can try something like the following: sudo rm -rf /System/Extensions/Library/rtl8187.kext sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext That will uninstall the driver. I suspect that they can not make changes easily though so other things to try so that they can boot macosx and make the changes: Try to boot in single user mode. Not sure if this will work but it is worth a try. For instructions on booting in single user, try here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry258900 Once you are in single user mode (non graphical), you can try and delete using the commands above. If that doesn't work, let us know and I will try and work out how to fix it by booting from the macosx boot dvd. He should not have to reinstall the os.

blog Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I just noticed they released a new driver for 8185, so maybe ours is coming The RTL 8185 driver doesn't work. I have just emailed them to find out why. I have tried everything to get 8185 working with my Laptop but no sucess. I have a RTL8185 and an ATI Xpress 200M plus a SigmaTel 9200 (that won't work). Everything else works though. Even both Cores .

panurge Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 What kind of errors do you get? Would they release another no-intel driver?

whocares Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 New driver at realtek page. Anyone tested it yet? If it works, I'll reinstall OSX and smile. I see that it was updated today. I downloaded it and viewed the readme. In it, it says: version 1.4.3 * Fixed system crash in x86 architecture makes me think it just might work, though the recent version is 1.4.5.

sg Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 the driver seems to detect my onboard WIFI card, however the realtek tool to i assume select networks etc is still a PowerPC binary and it wont start. driver loads tho just fine.

Arcanis Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Driver loads fine on a P5B Deluxe with the same Realtek 8187L.

panurge Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Can't you use OSX to detect networks? I never used realtek utility in windows Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/31903-p5w-dh-deluxe-wifi-driver/page/2/#findComment-325842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Can't you use OSX to detect networks? I never used realtek utility in windows no, the driver makes osx think the card is a ethernet card, it doesnt try to make it an airport card.

kuruu Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) how frustrating... I haven't looked myself, but I assume there are no applications available that would work, they have to be specific to the adapter? I use a another usb wireless adapter and the software seems pretty generic. might give it a go...
