chinesestunna Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I have installed a Dell 1390 (BroadCom chip) into my Toshiba laptop and reinstalled Myz 10.4.6 - it seems to have picked up the card during the final registration/setup phase since it asked me to connect to my wireless network. The wireless network now works but I can't connec to any other networks since the airport icon on the top bar says "AirPort not configured". Then at the same time when I check in my System Preferences I see that the wireless is now detected as "built-in Ethernet" instead of Airport... (my real built-in ethernet requires additional kexts to be detected, so it now becomes, instead of built-in ethernet, 'PCI-slot Ethernet') Any ideas how to fix this so that the Airport setup will work with the installed card so I can switch networks and all that good jazz? Let me know. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46902-dell-1390-wireless-issue-help-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shigimatsu Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Do you have an intel abg3945 wireless card emzo? If so, how'd you configure it so it worked? I downloaded the latest .dmg driver and everything, but when i install, i can't even get the airport to come up.

Let me know. Thanks! You need to switch en0 to en1 in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist. just search the forum for networkinterfaces.plist for more details.
