ghw9132 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I found a good deal on what I'm fairly positive is the card that works on ebay last night, item #6836304965 This morning he still has 10 avaiable... Ron Thanks, but i'm in search of a card for my desktop, so i need either PCI or USB. I've updated my post to reflect this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallingup Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Thanks, but i'm in search of a card for my desktop, so i need either PCI or USB. I've updated my post to reflect this. you might just be out of luck, i dont know of any broadcom pci cards with the same chipset as the dell 1450, just find out what chipset is in the 1450 and then google for that chipset and pci. the drivers in 10.4.3 are not meant for USB i think, only pci/minipci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braveheart Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I confirm WPA works 10.4.3 8f1111a Truemobile Mini PCI, Don't know of any other card that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suleiman Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 the chipset in the 1450 is the broadcom 4309 chipset. If you can find a pci card with that chipset on board you may be in luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braveheart Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Just adding if you buy a truemobile 1450, Make sure your system has the antenna, Mine didn't and had to order it separate. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 worked {censored} till i got it.

ZeeGee Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Just a status report: I got a Belkin F5D7000 v2000 PCI card, which is not working since 10.4.1 (yes, I installed the modified AppleAirport2.kext, but no go!), and I followed this thread, got the IO80211Family.kext into my 8F1111, loaded the driver successfully, but not a sign of it's functioning... I found you guys are mostly using laptop, but I'm using my desktop. Anybody in the same shoes with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a desktop ASUS A8V Deluxe, AMD3200+, ATI 9800Pro, Belkin F5D7000v1. My wireless adapter is not working. I have tried all different ways and Kexts that have been suggested but none of them seem to get the thing to work. Now just waiting to see someone having more succes.

Meanwhile I operate dual boot with XP pro as primary OS. version 3xxx of the Belkin PCI cards use RaLink chips instead of Broadcom. If your's is v3xxx, you may be in luck since RaLink has posted some primative unibin drivers. If you've got an older Belkin card, it won't work since they were based on the 4306 Broadcom chipset, which isn't supported right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hello, Please forgive a total noob here. My machine is a T40, 1.5GHZ (Banias), 512MB Ram, 40gig ata drive, dvd/cd-rw, built-in Cisco 350 mPCI, built-in network. I had 10.4.1 installed with 10.4.3 userland update, new AirPort2.kext. With this I was able to use either of the 2 PCMCIA cards I had, a WPC54G v1, and a Trendnet 401PCplus, both show up as Airport Wireless and come up with a device id of 4320 in the info pages. All worked very well. I installed an 10.4.3 8f1111a v4.2 patched dvd on to another hard drive. Everything works correctly, including built-in nic. The only thing that doesn't work is the wireless pcmcia. I have added the IO80211Family.kext, changed owner and permissions. They load find with kextload. Both pcmcia cards are detected, but neither are detected as Aiport Wireless and don't show up in preferences. Most of this topic is about the mpci cards (1450 in particular). Any success with Broadcom pcmcia cards? thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseCake Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Just confirmed that 10.4.4 kext can be used on 10.4.3 to support DELL TrueMobile 1300, DEV ID 14e4,4320. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairaghi Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 CheeseCake, please be more specific... What kext ? IO80211Family ? To be used as is ? To be modified or extracted in some way ?

Bearcat Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hello All, Thanks for the info. I can confirm that my T40 now has wireless working with my TendNet 401PCPlus pcmcia card. Using the IO80211Family.kext from 10.4.4, I modified the broadcom plist to include 4320. In addition to the previous instructions, I also had to delete: /System/Library/Extensions/Extensions.kextcache /System/Library/Extensions/Extensions.mkext rebooted, and an Airport Wireless card was recognized. Thanks All, Happy Camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antic Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Cheesecake, Thanks from me too. Followed your instruction and Iv'e got wireless using a Belikin F5d7000 PCI card using the broadcom chipset.j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallingup Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I bought the 1450 card working, only problem is, 10.4.3 doesnt support my onboard lan, so my airport is seen as a onboard lan, and i cant use the aiport config tool to connect to my router, it doesnt broadcast the ssid and it uses wpa (my room mate is a bit paranoid). I tried using istumbler to configure it, but i cant use wpa with it for some reason...weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avatar2187 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Cheesecake - You mentioned that the 10.4.4 kext supported the Truemobile 1300, though with the 4320 dev ID. I have a 1300 and have followed the instructions, airport extreme is now found, but I am unable to configure the airport or anything else. Any suggestions, do you think that it is because my 1300 wireless is based on the 4306 chipset? Thanks for any help. -Avatar5179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christophsky Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Does anyone with a 4320 or 4318 experience problems when coming out of "sleep" mode (doesn't really sleep, just spins down the hdd and processor)? When I try to resume from sleep mode, the card cannot find any access points. I think this is probably due to only partial ACPI support. Is there a way to turn off and then turn on the cardbus service? Something akin to the "cardctl eject/insert" command in unix would be excellent, and it might be a useful workaround to restore wireless connectivity upon coming back from sleep mode.

It makes a connection though, so that's a good start. Well, we ARE getting closer, but I'm probably having the same problem trying to actually USE Airport. After installing the IO80211Family.kext and rebooting, my PCI Belkin F5D7000 v2 (Broadcom 4320) shows up in the PCI section of ASP. See attached. However, any attempt to access or configure (including just looking at the Airport section of ASP) starts a process labeled "576 configd" in Activity Monitor which takes 99.8% of CPU. The only way I've found out of this is to do a hard restart and go in to safe mode and delete the patched IO80211Family.kext. Has anyone actually gotten Airport working ? If so, what am I missing ?

This is how I configured mine. 1. Click on the Airport sign on the menubar 2. Select "Airport On" 3. Click on the Airport sign again. then select " Open Internet Connect" on the menu 4. Select the Network you want to connect to on the dropdown menu. Its possible that it may have already defaulted to whats available. 5. After selecting the network you want it may ask for a password Key. I had mine set to 128 bit WEP. after entering this I gained access to the network. I dont know if this is of any use to you but it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
