macgirl Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 If your card have a Broadcom chipset (the same card but in another versions has Ralink chipset) you cand add the string needed to be recognized, but I don't know if it will work. Add to the Info.plist your Device ID and test if it works. pci14e4,4329 Erase /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache and /System/Library/Extensions.mkext to clear the caches.

Conroe Mac Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) At the bottom of my first post in this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=26858 is a link to a file. Use that if your wmp54g is not broadcom.

macgirl Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I tried, but since my Device ID is 1814-0301 it does not load the kext, even if I edit the Info.plist with my Device ID and loads the kernel and the AppDaemon it does not work If your card Device ID is 1814-0201 you should doenload the newer driver from Ralink since the driver for that card loads fine, unfortunately the for the RT61 driver is not.

Vipersfate Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Ok, so if the device ID "pci14e4,4329" is in the info.plist, than why is it still not working for me lol. Clear Kext caches?

enb14 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 you also need to fix the en0 to en1 in one file I don't remember exactly the name of this file but its located in the same place as apple.boot.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43555-suggestions-on-my-linksys-wmp54g-card/#findComment-324452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipersfate Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Is there a way to have it as possibly "en2" because my nforce lan is set to en1 and my wireless usb is "en0".

Joe Wandy Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 This is my first attempt in installing Mac OSX (10.4.6) on x86. Using the driver in above post, I've managed to get my WMP54G PCI card (Rt2500 chipset, Device ID is 1814-0201) recognized. The problem is whenever I try to associate to my access point using WPA, the connection would keep on dropping in roughly every few seconds interval. I can't test it with open authentication or WEP because this is a shared connection in the hostel. I've searched in the forum but can't find anything relevant. The card works well in both XP and Linux. Does anybody have a solution? Any pointer is much appreciated ...

As seen from this thread http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...c=18035&hl=, it works well in 10.4.6, with WPA and all.
