Mechmess Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 i am having the same problem- same model number compaq... I did manage to find what I think might be the device or maybe its the hardware id in windows- 4311 but trying to put that into the 80211wireless kext i find that its already there... OS X must not be looking for it. I just dont know how to check for this or to make it look for it. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Yeah, the 80211wireless kext may already be there but that is the OS X original. Download the kext from the download on that thread and then replace the existing file with the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechmess Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 its not the original... i installed it after the fact using the uphuck 1.4i dvd- it has the moddified kext on there and that still doesnt explain why it wouldnt work if the correct device and vendor id's are in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
