loybond Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Anyone know how to get the Wi-Fi working? Thanks, /mdg. You can download drivers from Realtek, the wifi works after that. http://rapidshare.com/files/66879937/MacOS...4.5_UI1.4.7.zip People on this forum never help people who have noobish questions. On no other forums (AVS etc) are people so arrogant and self-involved. Oh, and use a SATA DVD drive, works without fuss. There are some kexts you might be able to add to get the IDE drive working as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casperxkidds Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I installed the file but it says i need to activate it via network, and i dont see anything under there that would allow me to install it from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdg Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 I installed the file but it says i need to activate it via network, and i dont see anything under there that would allow me to install it from there Exactly the same problem I have. In fact, the driver come on the Kaly 10.5.1 disk...it says card detected, etc., and to activate it in Network. Unfortunately I'm fresh out of ideas on how to do that. Any ideas? Thanks! /mdg.

williwilliwilli Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Above the lock you can (+) and (-) items. Hit (+) and you can add devices. I added the device but still can't totally get it to work. Does it look the same for you? 1.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp5000 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I had the same problem at first. In the Network Preferences pane you need to hit the + button. I discovered that the wireless card was showing as 'Ethernet' in the 'Interface' list. So, in total, I had two Ethernet options in this list, the other one being the actual ethernet. I just tried adding one at a time to see which one was the Wifi. When you connect to a network in the USB utility program, it should change from amber to green in the Network Prefs. In Tiger this would have got automatically added upon opening the Network Prefs but not in Leopard. I am having another problem with this wireless card though. When I am connected, it takes a long time for pages to download, that is if they load at all. Not sure if it's a driver problem or something else. I have a Belkin USB adapter that connects a full speed but suspect is the reason I am getting occasional kernel panics so hope to get the built-in wireless working ASAP.

williwilliwilli Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 it should change from amber to green in the Network Prefs for me it is only amber when freshly booted. after trying to make a connection it turns red and stays so, as shown in the image I attached (above). Anybody else have this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombucha Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Now, I'm using the Belkin F5D7050 v5000 USB adapter, which I'm 95% sure uses the Realtek RTL8187B chipset. Should either the driver posted above or the Kalyway-provided driver be working for me? They don't - the device is listed as a USB device, but not as an ethernet adapter, nor an Airport device. Any ideas? EDIT: Nevermind, I bought a v3002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippodark Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Realteck 8187B is not supported because only ethernet or external WIFI ere supported on Leopard. The 8187B is internal USB, is missknow as connection, Leopard have only ethernet and firewire for internet connection or external USB WIFI For make work that, need modify EFI and the boot ROM.
