vviinnzz Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hey, I'm struggling to find some way to have my usb wireless adapter work... (see my post for more info...) The problem i'm currently working on is the AppleAirport2.kext not loading when os X86 starts, I have to manually load it every time i reboot, although it's not helping the wireless adapter right now. Is this normal? Or is there a way to have it load at startup? Thanks for any help v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentertainment Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'm also having Kext problems... I added both an NVidia.kext file and an AppleAC97Audio.kext file...neither load on startup, and since I can't seem to load them on startup, I can't get my sound to work!

Since you are not using a "real" Airport the kext will not load. If this is anything like the sound stuff, you may have to look through the forums for changing the vendor id numbers in OS X.

vviinnzz Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Oh ok, that's more or less what i expected, but now i know for sure! Thank you! I'm kinda testing every solution i find on this forum... I'm not 100% sure my adapter is Broadcom or Prism, so i'm basically messing around with the kext... withouth any success so far. I'll dig more thoroughly into that vendor ID number stuff, although i'm pretty sure nothing more will happen: that AppleAirport2.kext is designed for PCI adapters from what i gathered. i wish i could write drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentertainment Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'd just like to add one thing, I got my stuff working... You need to edit the info.plist and change the Device ID, you can try that...but like the other guy said, it may not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
