Tenatious Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hello, I installed JaS 10.4.8 for AMD and it works nearly fine. I have managed to get sound working, but I have no internet connection at all! My laptop (Aspire 5100) has a built in ethernet and a built in wireless. However, neither work. I have tried everything and am about to lose it with OsX. At the start, I get a message: No Airport Driver Also, no ethernet connection shows up in the system preferences>network I also have no networkpreferences.plist file or whatever it is where you edit en0 to en1 etc.. Please help me to get my internet working, preferably the wireless which is an Atheros chipset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Trooper Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 not much better.. better get a non-built-in card coz osx86 is somewhat dumb with the built ins (look at my signture..!!) I had once a good ethernet card but I give it to a friend before enterin osx86 world.. and now he refuses to give it back..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevan Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Neither of my wireless cards work (Internal is Dell 1390 Wireless, External N-Adadpter is D-Link Wireless N DWA-130) Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Trooper Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Tenatious: take one of the two attachments for your Ethernet, there are rumors that they work... Sevan: I'm afraid I haven't any.. you can have Linux or buy a real Mac..! get yourself 1300$ and buy an IMac.. I'm really begun to fed up with the Osx86 idea because there is no Single documented site on the net having real answers for only one question: "is my hardware supported..? or should I keep chasing visions (like the war chief in WarCraft) in the whole WWW..?"

Any reason why your text is bold? Anyway... I want to use OSx86 because I like the idea of having it on a PC. I don't have $1,300 on hand or available to me at this time. There is however, a lack of support for some systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Trooper Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 No specific reason.. my text is bold because I used to write in vbulletin forums and it was one of my signs bold-blue-size 4..It looked nice there, but it seems you understanding something from writing in bold so i will quit using it.. about the money thing I can completely understand you.. I'm a journalist with 300 Egy. Pound/month.. and this IMac I told you about is 10,000 pounds in apple mini-store (there are no Apple stores -for some reason- in the whole eastern part of the globe)..! but I just using the same way that some people using here: "My hardware is not compatible" they -simply- tell you : "go get a compatible one..!" so, by thinking the same way, the most comp. hardware for mac os is a mac machine..!! and now I'm thinking twice before I buy a new lan card.. It is dirt cheap.. but I keep thinking" what if my dear leopard just didn't like it..? do I have to keep changing my hardware to satisfy my system..? I'm an open-source activist.. and in open source we are not working for fun.. we working for a cause.. can my dear osx86 programmers consider that they are working for bringing mac sys to EVERY pc.. so they can take compatibility problems more seriously..?
