Kdubz Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 alright. so me being the idiot i am, decided it would be best to install the Airport Express security update. After the reinstall my wireless card wouldn't work. So I figured alright, I'll just re-install the IONetworking kext to get everything working again, but now I dont have Ethernet. I still don't even have Airport. It shows up in the Network Util but when I open Internet Connect it says "No Airport Hardware found." I have an Atheros based wireless card. Ven 168c Dev 0013 and an Intel 100 Pro/VE ethernet (Ven 103d Dev 8086) Can you guys help me?

Kdubz Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Alright, I tried the package fix that was in "Airport Extreme Update 2007-001" that worked to the extent that I can get Airport in my network preferences, but now it says under Internet Connect "No Airport Hardware found." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44401-networking/#findComment-318554 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdubz Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 alright, so i looked at the permissions of the IO80211Family.kext file and it has "6 root" instead of "5 root" or"3 root" whatever it's supposed to be, I'm not certain anymore. Anyway, my question is how do I change that? or fix that permission? I've tried Disk Utility but to no avail.

consolation Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) OK, If I were you I would:. 1) reapply the update. 2) you have two choices you can A) use the IO80211Family.kext from 10.4.5 combo update to get working Airport or you can use this method to get a working Airport Extreme. 3) always repair permissions and delete kext caches before rebooting. sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache Edited March 9, 2007 by consolation Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44401-networking/#findComment-319744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdubz Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I tried that method and it didn't work. It's really weird because it's in the menu bar, when I click it it says "Airport Not Configured" so I opened the network preferences but there was no slot for my card. I'm really confused.
