cyonix Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 HI@all I have a Dell Inspiron 9400(E1705) full running with Jas 10.4.8 with nebukadnezar kernel and no problems. But a notebook isn't a notebook without wlan, so i try this 4 wlan adapters: Intel 3945 - not working Broadcom 4311 (Dell 1390) - fully working Atheros AR5006X (108Mbit) - not working Atheros AR5006EX (54Mbit) - not working All in all the broadcom adapter is ok, but the reception is bad.The router is on the one floor and i'm surfing one floor under and have almost 10% (mac & win have the same result) With the Atheros cards i have at windows mostly 60-70%. I heard that some people on this board had run the AR5006EX successful. HOW DO THAT???? I try to change the settings in the Networkpreferences and also change out the kext to one from 10.4.5. Somebody said that u need to install Airport Extreme Update from Apple... Who know the real sollution or a real alternative.
