WAOUUU Calm down Pere, i'm not programmer or something like this. I'm just saying that Parallels Server will consume ressources in Mac OS X (you know, because you're running a virtual server on your computer)

Ahhh... you were talking about parallels... :) (Please, specify more next time).

 

The Virtualization software can´t recognize the wireless card cause it depends on the HOST for the hardware recognition, if the host cant recognize it, the guest, cant. I did try it before, and parallels didnt recognize anything... unless someone get more luck with other versions/VM programs...

;) Well yeah i had a doubt about the fact that we are talking of the same thing after posting my answer. It seems logicial that if the host doesn't recognize the hardware, the virtual server neither. Anyway i'm trying this software to feel smarter when i'll go to sleep :)

like pere said vmware fusion may do this.

 

 

but there (http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/features.html#c25453) is standing following:

 

"Choose a wide range of network options

VMware Fusion allows virtual machines to safely share a single network connection, effortlessly switching between wired and wireless AirPort/Wi-Fi connections."

 

if this could work, it would be better then nothig.

You could use Workstation on Windows or Linux to make the network work, but not Fusion as it runs on Mac OS X and the host network adapters need to be running. I have a Dell D620 where both the wired and wireless NICs don't work, but run Leopard in a VMware session and networking does work as it sees a virtualized Intel E1000 adapter. Check out the topic http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=118663 and others in this forum.

thanks, i've allready read it. i'm the guy who runs photoshop and a lot of 3d stuff at the same time. so the starting from vista is not the coolest option since vista eats 600mb for doing nothing .

 

however i'm going buy myself this http://www.sonnettech.com/product/ariaextremen.html litle baby ;) ,

 

so have luck with the iwis.

Looks like a nice card, might get one for a Viao that has the 4965, that will never work. (heck might even buy one to improve the wirless reception on my macbook pro ) I just dont see the point of this half assed Driver you guys are workking on all this time and effort for a job done by a cowboy.. would be quicker to code one from scratch.

Honey, we don't have Mac's. we run os x in pc's.

 

anyway, we like mac users.

well seeing that this is not being solved any time soon, can I switch wireless cards with my other laptop (it has a 2 wire b/g broadcom, but mine has a 3 wire agn, but I have a g router so........)

 

You should be able to. I know for the dell it worked fine. Took out my 3 wired(black, white and gray) intel card and swapped it out with a dell (Broadcom) card, just pulged in the black and white leaving out gray (which is for N i guess).

 

Mac OSX and windows run with it just fine. I don't know maybe you can buy a dell wireless chip and install it in a sony or toshiba if they all use the same type of hardware? You can probably just use the dell drivers? Don't quote me on that last part.

For those interested here is my lenovo y410 dump when i built the SVN driver.

 

I deleted nsGui.app since seemingly it was doing lot of scans and hence crashing. But now i am in a non crashing state.

 

I have attached the logs.Here is my current situation(the best i can be in) I see the wireless networks but it doesnt associate to a network and neither can i stop the card. I have modified some parameters but everytime i got a panic, so i am now in the original SVN state, that doesnt cause panic atleast. (or maybe it was the nsGui was the issue) .

i gues the third wire was for the bluetooth, because some cards are all-in-one gears.

My laptop is Lenovo V100.

Weeks ago, I bought dell mini pci card after waiting for this driver over 8 months.

However, I found that V100 is not booting due to the bios lock for a different wifi card that is not certified by Lenovo.

I tried to hack it as I did my previous Thinkpad, but it looks not easy. It seems like reprogrming of the bios is needed. :(

Anybody know is it possible to enable Broadcomm card in Lenovo?

Thanks.

well, some idiot just closed my topic, so i'll copy what i've wrote to here...

 

Hey folks...

I was reading the topic of jalavoui and was so confusing, one topic for so many boards and the subject sort of get lost, so i decided to create an topic for it...

 

so, how is the progress of the driver for it?

anybody need help with it? need some info, something?

 

 

i was reading on some page about some driver on the unix that works out of box with this board... could be helpfull in this case?

 

 

well, stay in touch plz

 

 

maybe the driver for linux can help

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/10315/eng/...ifi-1.0.0-1.tgz

 

or site of the driver project for linux

http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/

 

just found this link too...

This isn't really the place for that kind of question. You'll probably need a hacked BIOS to get it to pass the whitelist...try a search.

I need some help. I swapped out the 4965 with a bcm4311 and BANG! WIFI !

 

but now, i cant get past teh 104 error in my compaq with the 4965 card in. is there a fix for that?

 

 

yes there is ,it depends on whether your bios supports 4311 which most of them do . you have to do the sprom hack for that. it's for hp laptops but it might work for others cus i guess not many tried it on other laptops.

 

oh and you must download linux gustygibbon or hardy heron or whateva u like.

Applehacker, unfortunately there is no fix for your problem. The SPROM hack tool is for cards with Broadcom chips only, not for Intel cards. Sorry for going off topic, I hate doing that.

Damn, my XPS 1530 just arrived, i selected the Intel wireless card because i was told it was easier to get working with linux... why does it not work with osx since its built on linux?

 

I'm referring to the 3945abg card btw. ^_^

OSX has nothing to do with Linux. It has some origins in FreeBSD but not at the driver level.

did you read what he's saying . he said he swapped out his card which is intel to broadcom and it worked and all he needs is to go around the 104 whitelist check. :) stop sniffing booger it gets u high
