well, here is the beef. this laptop of mine is IBM R40e, Celery 2ghz, 256 mb ram, and their are three ways to get network running, below is the specs of network.

 

1) Wireless card is D-Link DWL 630 Airplus Wifi pcmcia card. (i know i could had got dwl 122 usbwifi which works with osx86, but now too late). now this looks like best option where i can get network running cause before booting if i give boot option as platform=OSX86 then i get atheros poweroff option near system tray as you can see in screenshot. But sadly nothing active in Sys-pref>network.

3) On board broadcom slot. below is output in fedora linux.

Now common guys and cute gals, please help me in getting network on this . i am soon going to use stuff related to DWL 650 which i think some ppl have managed to get wifi working, but still i am waiting for nice guidance from all you people.

About the USB-Ethernet! Check out this side! http://www.sustworks.com/site/news_usb_ethernet.html

Looks like they have a driver but not as universal binary. But take a look yourself!

 

Greets!

thank you, atleast you gave me some hope, :angel:

 

ok, as you said no uni,binary there , and unfortunately i have deadmoo's image, so i am gaurenteed that i dont have Xcode tools to compile the source,

 

now, can some other angel here compile and give me universary binary of this pegasus driver here?

 

ftp://sustworks.com/USBPegasusEthernet_104.dmg .

 

 

common , i know there is a angel here who can help me, ;)

I tried and tried, the code comes in two flavors so to speak, development and deployment.

 

Typically development code has hooks and debug info for fixing bugs turned on, often designed to aid coders by dumping text into console or similar, at the expense of larger file sizes and/or speed.

 

I can't (yet?) get the deployment code to compile :-( only the development stuff.

 

Still it does output a Universal kext (as reported by Get Info)! and I managed to finagle it into a Installer Package which ran ok on my PPC Mac.

 

Have to contact the author or Peter Sichel (owner of sustworks.com) to iron out the kinks.

 

Here is the Installer package, compressed (zipped?) with the Tiger Create Archive File menu option:

USBPegasusEthernet_TigerUniversal104.zip

 

If it fails to install, right click show package contents, open contents folder, copy Archive.pax.gz somewhere (Desktop?), unarchive that, then use Terminal with sudo to copy it to /System/Library/Extensions

 

sudo -s (enter, you will be prompted for an admin password)

cp -R ~/Desktop/USBPegasusEthernet.kext/ /System/Library/Extensions/USBPegasusEthernet.kext

NOTE CAPITAL R and space between kext/ and /System

 

verify that file is owned by root:wheel and chmod to 755 if needed

 

cd /System/Library/Extensions

ls -la

chown -R root:wheel USBPegasusEthernet.kext

chmod -R 755 USBPegasusEthernet.kext
