Jackobyte Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Right, I've been trying to get Wireless networking working on my AMD Asus A8N-Sli Deluxe based Tubgirl 10.4.8 installation but when I go into system profiler to check if my PCI card is showing up i get the "this computer does not appear to have any pci cards installed" message. Why is this? Can someone tell me why my card is not showing as connected? Does anyone know another way to get a device ID other than System Profiler, I don't have Windows installed on the machine. I have searched everywhere on this forum for a solution and I can't find a thing...... Thanks in advance.

Danyel Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi Jackobyte: I have NetGear WG311T PCI Card installed. I had a similar experience when I tried to install JaS 10.4.8. The System Profiler would not show any PCI card detected. I have since installed Myzar 10.4.6 and it recognizes as Airport (no modifcations necessary). Is there any "trick" to get Airport installed on 10.4.8? --danyel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47661-wireless-pci-card-not-showing-up/#findComment-341363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
