impactdni Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Brand new to the OSx86 scene, so forgive me if I leave out info... Just got in a brand new x61s and was going to see if I could get it triple booting. Installing from a 10.4.8 disk went just fine, and the machine boots, however neither the wired ethernet, nor the wireless works properly. Wired: Intel PRO/1000 Wireless: Atheros a/b/g After a fresh install, OSX sees my Wired, however I consistantly get a message that the Ethernet is not plugged in (tried multiple cords/switches), works fine in windows/linux/other boxes. The wireless is unseen (no reference anywhere). After installing Pacifist and IO80211Family.kext from MacOSXUpd10.4.5ForIntel I have slightly better results. The wired ethernet now at least allows me to configure it (select DHCP/Manual, etc), previously was grey'd out, and doubleclicking didn't do anything. However, it still won't pull an IP or ping computers on the local LAN with a manual address... The wireless widget now shows in the upper right corner of the task bar, but when clicked says "Airport: Not Configured". When going into the networking preferences, it isn't listed anywhere. Any thoughts/suggestions/requests? Thanks in advance. - Dan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57169-x61s-1048-everything-but-networking-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

impactdni Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Same results: Ethernet "Not plugged in" Wireless "Airport: Not Configured", and not in the system prefs anywhere... Thoughts?

Guest Ramm Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Probably not, but this guide may apply to your card, as well. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57169-x61s-1048-everything-but-networking-working/#findComment-408339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
impactdni Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Tried it, same place, I can see the Ethernet, but it always claims that its unplugged (dirty lies!)...

Guest Ramm Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 This is a laptop, yes? Try configuring wireless instead. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57169-x61s-1048-everything-but-networking-working/#findComment-408370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
impactdni Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Correct, Lenovo (IBM) Thinkpad x61s. Looking again, but I don't see wireless anywhere. Clicking on the wifi icon gives me two lines: (Grey'd out) "Airport: Not Configured" (Available) "Open Network Preferences" When going to network preferences, all that is listed is the "Built-In Ethernet" which says "The cable for Built-In Ethernet is not plugged in". No mention of the AirPort anywhere in the preferences...
