Somebody PLEASE HELP!

 

Just got iAtkos Mac OSX installed.

 

This is my first time using Mac and I'm trying to get AirPort and my wireless to work.

 

I'm not sure which drivers I need or how to install them..I believe its the Broadcom.

 

I have a HP G60 458-DX

 

Here's HP's website of my Network drivers on my laptop.

 

Please help!

Hi everybody,

 

I'm fairly new to this all so please bear with me :-)

I have succesfully installed Snow Leopard on my mini-311c. (ION Atom based netbook)

I have some doubts as to what video resolution this machine can achieve.

 

On a similar system (Acer Revo 3600) I run 1080p HD movies without a problem. (Linux Ubuntu with vdpau)

I would expect this to be possible with SL too.

It does not work however.

 

How can I double check my system is using the correct nvidia drivers?

Is there anything such as lspci (in linux)?

Is there anything like nvidia-settings or an alternative to check settings and drivers?

 

Thanks you!

 

 

Erwin

If you have purchased a Net-gear WN311B BCM4321 in hopes to get Airport up and running. Hope this helps any Newbs like myself get it going =)

 

Thanks to our German Friend this script works great. This is the method that worked for me in 10.6.2 & 10.6.3

:P

Download the script then download 4311.kext (google) it.

 

take the kext you downloaded off google, drop it on top of (app called Kextutilty) -google that too. it will install your 4311.kext to your extra folder and your HD extensions folder for you and fixes permissions as well.

 

Once you've done this restart your computer to make sure it will take affect. Run the script by putting it in this location /HD/user then open Terminal and type the fallowing.

 

sudo ./bcm43xx_enabler.sh

 

it will ask you is this the right location you press (enter)

it will ask you, do you want to back this folder up. Just fallow the instructions the script does all the hard work for you.

 

Once its completed I recommend repairing your disk permissions run off your USB or purchased SnoW Leo.

 

Hope i helped anyone who was having issues. . .

 

Thank you MACSMART for the script helped me set the ID's without typing all that {censored}.

I am going crazzyyy

Please someone help!!!!

 

I have Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1536 it originally comes with intel w-lan pci card, i have swaped that with broadcom 4311 card, and it works perfectly in windows but not in mac os i have tried diferent versions, scripts kexts activators but no luck

 

I have atached a pic from osx86tools showing the card

 

Clearly the card is there, but i cant se it anywhere else?

i have somehow menaged to get this in NetworkInterfaces.plist

<key>BSD Name</key>
		<string>en1</string>
		<key>IOBuiltin</key>
		<true/>
		<key>IOInterfaceType</key>
		<integer>6</integer>
		<key>IOInterfaceUnit</key>
		<integer>1</integer>
		<key>IOMACAddress</key>
		<data>
		ABRR3BE5
		</data>
		<key>IOPathMatch</key>
		<string>IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/P0P3@1C,2/IOPCI2PCIBridge/ethernet@0/AirPort_Athr5424ab/AtherosM35abInterface</string>
		<key>SCNetworkInterfaceType</key>
		<string>IEEE80211</string>

 

But this is clearly wrong so i edited it to what it should be

<string>IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/P0P3@1C,2/IOPCI2PCIBridge/pci14e4,4311@0/AirPort_Brcm43xx/IO80211Interface</string>

 

and still no card visible in mac os

 

Can someone please bare with me and try to help me figure this out.

I have menaged to figure the rest

Graphics,

Battery,

Sound,

so this is the only part missing (and sleep) but i dont care that mutch about that one

 

I am running Chameleon 2 with vanilla kernel and OS X 10.5.8 (updated from Iatkos V7)

HI EVERYBODY!!!!

i have a prob, i first had an atheros ar5007eg card, and i never made it work, now i bought a BCM4311KFGB and it doesn't work properly, my system recognizes as an airport card, i see the fan in the system bar, and it shows me the avaible networks, but i can't join to any network, it asks me for the password but instantly when i hit the enter button tells me that i can join network.... what could i do.???????

 

in the system profiler under the ethernet card it displays as Type: Other Network Device could it be this the prob??? :)

 

Console Log Reports

Update: 2009-04-29 4:39PM

 

Since it seems to be sort of difficult for new users to edit kext-files, I've written a small script which automatically adds the PCI IDs of all Broadcom wireless cards, which are AirPort compatible.

 

And this is where I need your feedback: Please post your Broadcom device IDs in this topic, if you have simply added them to the AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext. Then I can add them to my script so new users can simply download the script and get their Broadcom wireless card to work.

So please post the PCI ID and maybe a little description (at least if the card is 802.11a, b or g).

 

Note: Only post the PCI ID if you simply have to add the ID to AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext in order to get it working!

 

If interest i upload here WiFi kext for 10.6 on HP 550 (with ID replacement 4315)

I think its also important to provide your Motherboard Model as well as system version.

Hello!

 

So i have this HP Mini 110 and i have iAtkos 10.5.5 installed in it. Everythi9ng works except the damn wifi, it came with an Atheros half size mini PCI and after much research i found out that that chipset is a dead end in the hackintosh world. Some more research and I found out hat the Broadcom 4312 would work, specifically ones pulled from a dell, and the osx will see it as a native airport card. So i found one one ebay, bought it, popped open the mini (not that hard BTW) and booted and..... BOOOOO!! I get a bios error on boot!! 104 system error unrecognized wireless card system halted!! what gives!! any way around this? If i have to flash the BIOS....I really do not want to have to install Windows for it...any help would be greatly appreciated!!

hey i was wondering if there was any way to get my BCM4313 wireless N card working? ive tried your script but to no avail (maybe i did it wrong?) although terminal said it was succesful & i rebooted. no luck so i tried adding in the device & vendor ids myself, but no luck with that either (maybe i did that wrong too lol, but snow leopard booted up fine without no erros lol) lastly, i tried the whole rebranding trick with ubuntu but my card wasnt listed. are there any other hacks or tricks i could try?

 

another user on this forum, Vampirehunter_D seems to know some hacking and such, and even has a forum where he managed to get the ethernet card working via a modified kext, but so far no luck with wifi. crossing my fingers for him and myself lol.

 

by the way, im using an S10-3T lenovo laptop. thanks alot. :)

Hi All

 

Im trying (anf failing) to get wifi working on a fujitsu siemens amilo li 1818. Ive replaced the original wifi card with a Dell 1505 BCM4321 which shows up if i run lspci from terminal, but never shows up in system prefs, or network prefs. It also shows up if I use DPCIManager as a broadcom card but the model is unknown.

 

I feel so close to getting this working, ive tried so may different posts now and different kexts. Surely if it shows up as being connected then there must be a way to get it working. Ive tested it in windows and know it works.

 

Can anyone help?

 

p.s had to do the pin 20 trick to get the card to turn on as the switch didnt work.

 

Oli
