sebus Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Very new to this guys, hope will not get slaughtered for asking this question. Honestly could not find an answer on this forum (really tried the search) Dell Inspiron 5160 with Truemobile based on BCM4306KFB chip Is there any way to get the wireless working?

sebus Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Thanks, but that does not really help me to get the Truemobile working, right? But it does help to get wireless working, thanks, but also the model of the USB stick would be nice to know sebus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebus Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Thanks for this. Just wonder what mini-PCI cards (not express) also work OK? I believe ones based on BMC4311 chipset, but it is difficult to find a card based on chipset, as they usually are completly different manufacturers Anybody have the exact model(s)?

sebus Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Managed to get it to recognize BCM4306KFB as Airport Made the change <string>pci14e4,4320</string> as it seems thet the chip is BCM4306KFB, but the actual string for Truemobile 1350 in Windoze is 4320 Works a dream using Jas 10.4.8 on Inspiron 5160 Thanks guys for your help sebus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
