mitzuoka Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hey everyone. I'm running OSX 10.4.8 using Jas w/ the PPF1 and 2 CD. Im using an intel centrino processor on a Sony Vaio VGN TX630 laptop. Thanks to the members of the forum I have everything working except for sleep and internet. Sleep i'll deal with myself but internet is the main problem. I have an intel 2200BG built in wireless card, im aware that there is a HUGE thread addressing this topic already which means its taking some time. These are the other wireless cards I have: D Link DWL 650M Netgear WAG 511 (Have it but i dont know where it is lol) Linksys WPC54GS This is where I need help, i have searched literally everywhere for drivers or kext files or a tutorial or something. Can anyone please direct me to a driver / kext file for ANY of these wireless cards that will work? I'm hoping it will let my WPA encrypted network work with my mac. So again, can someone direct me to the files needed to make ANY of them work along with instructions? I know this might be alot to ask for but I really need help. Thanks in advance Wow im sorry, i pressed the "Post Topic" button twice by accident, can a moderator please delete this thread? Sorry again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbraniff Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I believe the Netgear WAG 511 is using the atheros chipset, as long as you can find it you should be able to use it, just follow this tutorial here Atheros AR5005(G) hardware Thread But make sure you download the kext at the bottom of the thread as for my experiences it was the only one that worked. Let me know if this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbraniff Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Do you know if your pcmcia is working on your laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzuoka Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 my PCMIA slot onlyworks wen im on my windows laptop, when i switch to mac and put in the wireless card, e.g. Linksys WMP54GS, a light usually turns on meaning its connected but it doesnt....so i guess the answer to ur question is no. Im not sure if it doesnt light up because of a driver issue or its just not working. Thanks alot in advance, especially since ur the only one who seems to care about this :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbraniff Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I just switched to OSX used to use it years ago.. but if I remember I dont think Jas supports PCMCIA devices... your best option is to go out and get a cheap little usb wireless key check out 10.4.8 Hardware Compatibility List Wiki it should be able to tell you whats compatible if it supports this or that...
