Wrenbird Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I have a Netgear WG311T recognized as airport with the IO80211Family from 10.4.5. I have not been able to turn it on, whatsoever. I can't get it to work in diagnostics, or by pressing the "turn on button". Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Wrenbird Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well I finally got it to turn on in diagnostics, but does anyone have a WG311T and leopard? If you do, does it work?

Jackobyte Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 These PCI cards work and they are cheap as!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PCI-CARD-802-11g-WIR...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82382-airport-wont-turn-on/#findComment-659071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackobyte Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Maybe you have a faulty card............... that one above is PCI by the way, not Mini-PCIe. I have many satisfied customers using the Dell DW 1390 and 1490 so my guess is that you have a faulty card. Return it for a replacement.

SmurfBiterJay Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have that same card, works perfectly for me!! What I did, using one of the tutorials on here (can't remember link off-hand) I used the IO80211Family.kext from the 10.4.8 Apple Update, modified the Atheros5424.kext plugin inside it to use only the cards dev and Id, installed, set permissions, works perfectly, no need to use diagnostics and automatically connects on startup/restart Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82382-airport-wont-turn-on/#findComment-670212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
komeet Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yes the broadcom 4311 (aka Dell 1390) works perfect as an AirPort card. I bought mine from Ebay for $12. No trouble at all.

lancelotu Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have a Netgear WG311T recognized as airport with the IO80211Family from 10.4.5. I have not been able to turn it on, whatsoever. I can't get it to work in diagnostics, or by pressing the "turn on button". Can somebody point me in the right direction? I have the same adapter and I used it with success in tiger and leopard 10.5 - 10.5.4 but in I had exactly the same problem with 10.5.6 and it seems that I was using the wrong IO8211Family.kext Maybe you want to try the one that I attached below . It worked for me even if I still can't connect to WPA Networks Without the use of the terminal command networksetup -setairportnetwork.... Use Kext helper to easy install or don't forget to chmod chown Please report if working IO80211Family.kext.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82382-airport-wont-turn-on/#findComment-1062099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancelotu Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Does someone have this card working on a G4 G5 Mac as airport (or know that is working ) with the IO80211Family.kext trick ?
