Doctor-X Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 How I install this wireless card? MY motherboard doesn't works very well. It will be that PCI slot doesn't work too?

theofan1960 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hi, I have the exact same wireless card and dis that and it was successful! The card is recognized as an Airport Card. 1. Grab the Intel 10.4.5 update from the Apple Website: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/mac...45forintel.html 2. Mount it on your desktop (Double-click in it) 3. Copy the file IO80211Family.kext from the folder "/System/Library/Extensions" of the update and paste it to the one of your system "Volume Name/System/Library/Extensions/" 4. Repair permissions using Disk Utility or terminal or you can do it manually 5. Load the extension using terminal using these commands (I think this step is optional because I don't remember if I did it or not) sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros5424.kext sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext sudo kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/ 6. Reboot and you should have the card recognized in the Network Preferences.

mcdull Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 you have to do it manually, diskutil won't work in most case. also clear kextcache. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/35262-dwl-g520-wireless-card-on-1048/#findComment-319792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
