Adrian Fogge Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 According to the release notes posted online for 9A303, the Airport for recent C2D Macbook Pros does not work. I would assume that this is just because of a missing driver as the newer Macbook Pros use the Atheros 802.11n wireless network card as apposed to the Broadcom in the Mac Pro and iMacs. Does anyone know where the Driver is located so that it could be copied over the version in Leopard to get Wireless working in this build? I would really like to get Leopard loaded up on my new MBP before the next build comes out. So far, all of the release notes have had a date of the 2nd Tuesday of the month, so all else fails there should be a new one out on Dec 12th.

Numberzz Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Just wait, the new build come on about the 10th of a month. That is only 11 more days. BTW, I would like to add that this is the 283rd post. Same number as october's build.

Adrian Fogge Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 A little wrong in your calculations there... You only have 254. Also, where did you get Dec 10 from? I would doubt that any company would release something new on a Sunday, but I guess it is a definite possibility.

dscarty Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'd suggest trying to modify the kext/Info.plist according to the insructions below: Edit the following line in this file Open a terminal window type the following sudo -s (Press Enter) Enter your password & (Press enter) type the following sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/Info.plist (Press Enter) Locate the following lines or similar <string>pci14e4,4311</string> <string>pci14e4,4312</string> Add this line <string>pci14e4,4320</string> <string>pci14e4,4324</string> Once you add this line press CTRL+O and (Press Enter) Press CTRL+X to exit you should be back to your terminal windows now type the following chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions (Press Enter) chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions (Press Enter) rm /System/Library/Extensions.* (Press Enter) reboot (Press Enter) You computer will restart when it is done you will see an airport Icon in the top right bar now configure your wireless network you're done. The 4311, 4312, 4320, 4324 are numbers on individual Broadcom chips on wi-fi cards. Just add the number of your chip there. If you have an Atheros wi-fi card/chip there is a kext for that too. Look in /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros5424.kext/Contents/Info.plist Same drill as shown above for Broadcom Realize that you're using Leopard Beta and I'm not. This is from 10.4.8 but should work if you have the same files. Your mileage may vary.
