Paulo Greimel Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Hello, First of all, sorry for my poor English, I'm brazilian, I have Mac OS X86 10.4.6 and I am about to install it, but there is a problem, my wireless card is a D-Link G510 Rev. C and in the HCL of the wiki the notes are: "Take IO80211Family.kext and IONetworkFamily.kext from 10.4.5 to get to work. Edit /Library/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist (see forum)" I have already searched all the forum and I didn't found anything, I realy want help because I spent 2 weeks downloading and I need to know, can someone that already has Mac OS X86 10.4.5 send me by e-mail the 2 .kexts (IO80211Family.kext and IONetworkFamily.kext) and the link with the instructions for editing "/Library/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist" please, help me. Thanks very much. I'll appreciate your help. P.S.: My e-mail is paulo.greimel@gmail.com.

Paulo Greimel Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) Thank you, mrbig, repair permissions mean using sudo? And ; nano /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/ ; AirPortAtheros5424.kext/Contents/Info.plist is the file that will be edited? Really thank you, will install it today at night.

Paulo Greimel Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 People, issue again, after installing macvidia 1.0.81 drivers my system won't boot, I reinstalled but now mrbig's tutorial won't work. When I type "rm /Sytem/Library/Extensions.mkext" and "rm /Sytem/Library/Extensions.kextcache" does not works, says no such file or directory. And when I type: "kextload AirPortAtheros5424.kext" says that there is no kernel module for this .kext. I am currently using mac os x86 10.4.6 JaS. In the patches there is an option called Wireless.Networking.Support and I installed it. Any Ideas, thanks a lot.

Paulo Greimel Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hello People, I have news! My card has the chipset RT61 and it does have mac os x compatible drivers on the ralink website, and I'm now following a tutorial to update my system to 10.4.8 and my kernel to 8.8.1 and then install natit to have full QE/CI, because in VESA 3.0 the performance of graphics is very very very poor, nothings works fine even the dock magnification. I think I will get it but I am not going to have time to sleep tonight, and it will be hard because I do not speak English "natively" and I have 13 years old. If somebody have an idea of how to solve the wireless problem it will be welcome. Anything e-mail me: paulo.greimel@gmail.com Thanks Paulo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43441-d-link-wireless-card-kexts-in-1046/#findComment-316022 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruktsallad Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Yes, It's working fine thanks. Did you really get your rev. C DWL-G510 to work? How did you do it? Exactly what revision is it? From what I've read, neither rev. C1 or C2 are supposed to work. I've got a C1 and can't get it up and running. Cheers!

leocav Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi guys, Another brazilian with problems on d-link wifi card. I'm new to mac and I'm trying to understand all these things about terminal and codes. I'm on a Mac OS x86 10.4.8 and I have D-Link DWL-G520 rev.B... I tried that OrangeWare application without success. I tried the following code on terminal: cd /System/Library/Extensions chmod -R 755 IO80211family.kext and I get the message from terminal: no such directory. What do I have to do? Update something on Mac OS?

leocav Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 updates computer: mac os x86 10.4.8 JaS intel core 2 duo 1.86 ghz asus p5l-mx wifi card model: d-link dwl-g520 rev.c what I did: 1. downloaded the two attached files from haribo (IO80211Family.kext.zip and IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip), unpacked to /system/library and /system/library/extensions 2. checked ownership through finder (alt + I - windows keyboard equivalence) and changed for system if leocavallini was the owner 3. tried the commands on terminal suggested by mrbig 4. inside /system/library, I checked permissions and ownership using the commands: cd IO80211Family.kext/contents/plugins ls -l I got: drwxr-xr-x 3 leocavallini 102 Feb 2 2006 AirPortAtheros5424.kext drwxr-xr-x 3 leocavallini 102 Feb 2 2006 AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext 5. changed ownership for these two files through chown command: chown root:wheel AirPortAtheros5424.kext chown root:wheel AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext 6. listed again, where I got: drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Feb 2 2006 AirPortAtheros5424.kext drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Feb 2 2006 AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext everything ok according to mrbig suggestion. BUT 7. when I tested if the extension works with kextload, I got a message about ownership and permissions in the terminal and a popup message. Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks a lot! ps: the dates shown here are not my files' dates, they are from dec 12, so discard this information...

OK, I'm not sure about this cause it's been a while since I fiddled with this kind of thing, but I think you might get it to work by repairing permissions with disk utility! / Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43441-d-link-wireless-card-kexts-in-1046/#findComment-537027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
