Jynx Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I can remember a long time ago dealing with wireless woes left and right. Running to the store, buying, taking back, buying, taking back, wireless adapter after wireless adapter before I found one that worked in OSX. At the time I had to edit the 80211Family.kext(sp?) to include the Broadcom vendor ID, but it worked. In later releases it just continues to work without editing anything. Now come Leopard it picks up that I have a wireless adapter, shows an enabled Airport. Yet it will not picking any wireless signals, so its working but its not if that makes sense. I looked at that same kext file and their are now a ton of vendor id's included; mine being one of them. I can't figure out whats wrong. Does anyone have any older 80211Family kext they had to load in order to get broadcom wireless working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jynx Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well I gave it 3 1/2 hours before I add anything to it.. don't want to get annoying as that helps no one! But any assistance would be great. I'm at work now so I want to get a game plan together to head home with later and work on this. Thanks guys!

Jynx Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 I tried all the methods, files..etc that I've found utilizing search. I have the F5D7001 which everything says is good to have. It worked great in Tiger, is found in Leopard, but sees no wireless networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jynx Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Right but for it to work on older versions, I just don't see why it can't be working on newer releases then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
