atios65 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hey guys I just started getting into this osx86 stuff and so far I have gotten a kalyway leopard into: Acer Aspire 5630-5288 Core 2 Duo CPU (supports SSE3) Intel Wireless Card 802.1 (not exactly sure on this, but intel card) 160 GB HDD 2 GB RAM the leopard works fine except for the wireless network. So far leopard insists that I use an ethernet cord and won't even let me choose airport when i go to set up a new connection. Is there any way to get around this problem? In case it didn't work, I also set up a small partition to install linux which DID allow me to have a wireless internet, but when I did install linux the GRUB didn't recognize the leopard, and when I reinstalled the leopard darwin didn't recognize the linux either. Is there anyway to get the two OSs to share? s Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78775-two-questions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmith81 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Not all wireless cards are supported by OSX. It probably pay to buy a replacement card (one with a broadcom chip, search the forumfor the best one for your laptop) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78775-two-questions/#findComment-557924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmarsh Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 GRUB didn't recognize the leopard To add leo to grub: 1) Get PC_EFI. This post among many has a link. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=499367 2) Copy boot_v8 to /boot in your Linux partition 3) Edit (as su) menu.lst in /boot/grub, adding entry: title Mac OSX Leopard root (hd?,?) (replace with same values grub uses for Linux partition, not ones for OSX partition) kernel /boot/boot_v8 boot Next time you reboot, Leo will be on grub menu Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78775-two-questions/#findComment-558103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
