twobunnyrabbit Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 YAY Wifi works :-) Broadcom 4311. Still trying to get the ethernet to work.

BlackCH Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 ur pretty smart since u recommended something that wasn't related to the card but pci instead. and guess what: it is REALLY close to working with that kext that chun nun made. my ethernet now works and my wifi is detected, it also detects my access point but still i can't connect, but i think that more due to the fact i didn't edit my networkinterfaces file yet. EDIT:i don't want to startle anyone but it was the pci-e slot, since chun nan fixed it i am coming to you live through my dell 1490 woop woop time to do a merry jig. peace out! well, actually the PCI problem was your suggestion. I was trying to get my ethernet to work with chunnan's kext; it didnt work but I left the kext in my extensions folder. So it was there when I did the eprom hack (needed 'cos my HP BIOS), and then the wireless card worked out of the box. A detail I overlooked. Anyway, good you got it working...

oggydk1 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 hi guys, wow the IOPCIFamily.kext made leo recognise my wifi. it still won't power on but it is recognised, which is more than it has ever been. leo sees it loads the apple broadcom kext and it shows up under network in the system preferences controlpanel. in system profiler it shows up under network inerfaces, but when i click on Airport just below i shows no info. funny thing is that i can't find it in ioreg either. any ideas?

nirvanaguy19 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 well i installed iatkos, right off the bat it recognized my card as atheros , and showed the icon in interface for airport (disabled), i tried the new IOPCIbridge but that didnt help, i hav not upgraded to 10.5.2 yet (the IOPCIFamily) mentions 10.5.2 yet, going to update to 10.5.2 now and see how it goes edit: the atheros was just the first boot after install I guess,I dont even see 14e4,4311 in ioreg anymore, saw it in kalyway 10.5.2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63024-development-broadcom-4311-fix/page/9/#findComment-645148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanford-Binet Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Which version is the iatkos image that you're using? I've found 2 and they're both different sizes, and it looks like they're different revisions.

Stanford-Binet Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 So, my card is already in the config files, but because of the pcie slot, my card doesn't turn on at startup. How did you solve this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63024-development-broadcom-4311-fix/page/9/#findComment-645715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joedubya Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Same boat as most.... Zephyrot 10.5.2 Card is recognized at boot, tray icon appears. See's the cards mac address etc. Dosen't see the router or any. so i'm thinking the switch. But....heres the catch....the switch turn the Airport off, switch on you need to use the preferences to turn it on. So i'm at a loss Regards, Joe W Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63024-development-broadcom-4311-fix/page/9/#findComment-645950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvanaguy19 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 well, i dont think my card is recognized coz i cant see the mac address of the card, @joedubya, where are you seeing the mac address of the wifi card, in dmesg or /var/log/system.log?

joedubya Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 When you right click the try icon network preferences (think thats it). Think it was under Advanced tab. Will recheck for you. This install was not choosing the Broadcomm in customize as well. Joe W At boot i get ... wl0: Broadcom BCM4311 802.11 Wireless Controller then a few lines down... AirPort_bcm43xx : (mac address) well, i dont think my card is recognized coz i cant see the mac address of the card, @joedubya, where are you seeing the mac address of the wifi card, in dmesg or /var/log/system.log?

Achilleus Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Alright, so now I'm at the point where I can work on this thing and maybe get it to work. Boogersniffer and funnypanks, what steps did you take to get your wifi working? We need to get a comprehensive guide set up. Everybody that has gotten your 4311 to work, please post the model of computer you're running it on and the steps it took to get it working. I'll backtrack in this thread and play around, see if I can get the 4311 to work on my Acer 3680.

Stanford-Binet Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Joedubya, I'd be REALLY interested in a step by step (or something informative) when you get it running, I'm on a dv5000, and the internals are similar (enough) to the dv9k Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/63024-development-broadcom-4311-fix/page/9/#findComment-647583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
