Motorola Wpci810G

I've looked all over and haven't found anything that could remotely resemble an answer to whether or not this card should work. I haven't installed OS X yet but I just need to know what kind of battle I have ahead of me. Thanks for any input!

You're probably gonna hate me for this answer but here we go...

 

I think it works. I have one in my desktop that every now and then when I'm bored I install OSX to and I can always get internet with it. I think I use a 10.4.6 or 10.4.8 Jas disc and check the "Wireless driver" option and it makes it work. This card is also listed on the HCL for 10.4.8 but it says "check the forums" but this is the only post that comes up when I search so go figure on that. But I'm almost positive it works (I don't remember if I've switched the card out recently thats why I'm not completely sure).

 

You've probably already moved on from this anyways seeing as its like 3 months later but I thought I'd throw that out there anyways.

This card works.. just follow the instructions here:

http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/i....php/t8522.html

 

It's got a Broadcom chipset. Add the relevant device ID and you'll be fine:

 

...

Open a terminal, cd to the directory where IO80211Family.kext is located. Make sure you're not in a Windows partition, or else you can't put the permissions how you need it.

 

Here comes the code

 

cd IO80211Family.kext

cd Contents

cd Plugins

cd AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext

cd Contents

nano Info.plist

 

Here you want to add a line <string>pci14e4,4320</string>, replacing the 4320 with your own model number. You can find your model number in Windows XP Device Manager if you know where to look.

 

<array>

<string>pci14e4,4320</string>

<string>pci14e4,4312</string>

<string>pci14e4,4324</string>

--> <string>pci14e4,4320</string>

</array>
