njbrubaker Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yesterday I installed Leopard build 9A321 on both my eMac 700 and my G4 Cube 500. Everything went well on both, except that Leopard can't seem to detect my Airport card on either computer. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, what have you done to fix it?

Leo Pard Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I have the very same problem with my Graphite PowerMac G4/350 upgraded to G4/1.4 using a first (or maybe second) generation Airport Card. Maybe repairing permissions or fscking could help? I will try and tell you.

Leo Pard Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 No luck I have also tried to delete some config files... ...and left the thing unbootable Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36439-9a321-and-airport/#findComment-261552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbrubaker Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 I can add that installing the Airport update package (the one intended for Tiger) doesn't help. Not that I really thought it would, but it was worth a shot. It installs just fine, but after a reboot the card still isn't detected.

rakka Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Had this problem with both 9A303 amd 9A321, on TiBook 1Ghz. Tried everything, nothing worked, so in the end I just used Tiger's Airport Driver. (PPC) Assuming we're booted into 9A321: sudo cp -r /Volumes/MyTigerSystem/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirport.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ Tiger driver was v3.4.4 PPC, replacing 9A321's v3.4.6 UB driver. Afterwards, restart your system, Airport should be working again.

Leo Pard Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks for the advice, rakka, but I have just tried to boot my LeoPard installation and it just won't boot. It gets stuck at the grey Apple Logo and doesn't display even the spinning wheel...

grabberslasher Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 The Airport from 10.4.x should work fine, the Airport.kext on Leopard seems to be broken Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36439-9a321-and-airport/#findComment-271786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakka Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks for the advice, rakka, but I have just tried to boot my LeoPard installation and it just won't boot. It gets stuck at the grey Apple Logo and doesn't display even the spinning wheel... At this stage 10.5 is very buggy... no suprise. Was this after or before the replacement of the Airport kext? You could boot into Single user to see errors, or even a clean install, shouldn't take much time.

Leo Pard Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Thanks again, rakka. The problem came before changing drivers. I tried to boot 10.5 to do the driver change you suggested... but it simply won't boot, not even in single user mode. I think I'm giving up for now (it was my second reinstall!) until a new build comes up... ...after all, I just wanted to play a little :wink2: Edited January 13, 2007 by Leo Pard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36439-9a321-and-airport/#findComment-274685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Fogge Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Good choice. Hopefully we will have a new build any day, but who knows for sure. Normally Apple releases on the Second Thursday of the Month, however maybe here they are holding off because of some other planned event in the next few days/weeks. They would be unlikely to release two separate builds in the same month. Remember, the builds are aimed at Developers, not the general community. Think of the logistics nightmare of needing to re-image a development testing machine every couple weeks... We are not talking about Windows Development here. Under that OS, it is to be expected in many cases... Too easy to kill with a block of malformed code.
