sumitx Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 thanks An4re, but my card is still not recognised When I followed the instructions GimmeRed told me to, I had a kernel panic on startup and forced to reinstall Any other suggestions?

What card do you have? Also you should be able to boot into safe mode and remove the kext without reinstalling. Hit F8 on the bootup and type -X to start in safemode.

sumitx Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 No it doesn't show up in "about this mac". Under windows device manager it tells me its a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN card. The Device ID is 4311. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Device ID is 4311. The 4311 should show up as an airport card you might want to post all of your system specs, (you should have done this in your first post) and maybe someone will know what is going on for sure.
