odiedavis Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I just browsed thru and thru and thru, but.... No replies, hints, tips or tricks, nor guides to get this freakin' F5D7010 Belkin G Wireless PCMCIA Adapter Card onto my Laptop. My Setup is: Dell Latitude D800 1GB DDR RAM 266Mhz Pentium M 1.3MHz NVidia GeForce4 4200 Go Mobile 32MB RAM 60GB Toshiba Drive 2.5" Part'ed: Part1:WindowsXPSP2 (zuckz); and Part2 Mac OSX 10.4.6 both working and booting. Soundcard fixed with AppleGirl's fix. Nvidia Drivers not going beyond 1024x768x32 even with new 1.0.8 MacVidia Drivers So far: I get to installing, booted into and outo WinXP and Mac without hesitation, there's no problem. The thing is everyone in here says "ya do the en0 en1" thingy and no one explains how the heck they did it really. Some other guys post "F5D7010 RT2500 works for me" just plugged it. And thats it. ¡THAT's IT? So... i really need help with this thing...it's driving me nutz. I want to install this wireless card, i have seen and google'd for support but gone nowhere... everyone says there's native support for these cards, correction for this chipset setups (Ralink Tech 2500 Chips) right? Didn't tried the Intel Pro 10/100 ethernet nor the wireless Intel (2100 chip) (onboard) cuz i had these long time ago, and still no workaround for these two I have tried Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE all have some kind of workaround for these cards. Please help me..where can i get some help? Or if any of u guys have time to spare please drop me some lines. Help is greatly appreciated...Just a quick note. i went to the osx86 wiki and there's not much info on how to get it to work krlosdrojo1@gmail.com Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35009-f5d7010-rt2500-driver-installation-help-anythin/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 The card should work, worst case need to add device id to Broadcom kext. See Wireless link in my signature and read about Broadcom. Find device id in Windows -> Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> wireless card -> Properties -> Details tab -> device id is 4 characters after DEV_ Bigger question is whether your PC Card/Cardbus/PCMCIA slot is working in Hackintosh.

odiedavis Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 God damned!!! I got it working... went to get the drivers...unzipped them voilá...everything worked... i also edited the Info.plist inside IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/ i added <string>pci14e4,0201</string> and i guess it worked.. Had to chmod the info.plist.. that's it...now.. just one quick question. Can I set it to be an AirportBase or not? cause the wireless pcmcia card gets detected as the "onbard ethernet" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35009-f5d7010-rt2500-driver-installation-help-anythin/#findComment-248670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgrau Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 So this is a Broadcomm chipset and not Ralink one. You are lucky it is supported by Mac. Now you might make it Airport Express if you assign it to en1 as explained in forum posts: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11856 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35009-f5d7010-rt2500-driver-installation-help-anythin/#findComment-248716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
