mehdymehdy Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hello! I have compaq presario. it's a good laptop. i run ubuntu and vista . and i had no problem with wireless card. in ubuntu linux . i use bcm43xx and it works perefectly . so my wireless card is built in and it's broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN . so again in ubuntu the wireless card is enabled by simply installing the bcm43xx which i must say it's done in a great way . they have an instuller for it and it's very easy. but that's not important the good thing is that it supports all bcm43xx. now the problem. i have mac leopard kalyway installed on a partition of my HD . and it runs perfect .it's even faster than ubuntu . everything works great . even after i did the update to 1.5.2 . it's just great . the ethernet works great. so no problem. but when it comes to wireless . i grabed this enabler from here . and installed it . it was successful. and reboot . everything seems normal. but it is as if nothing was added there . i don't see any card recognized nor the airport utility finds a thing after scan. so if there is anyone here who has any experience in fixing this i appreciate your help , more specifically i need some more information on what are the tricks and tips on how to install and or enable my Broadcom 802.11b/g 4311. and sorry for this boring post Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92843-bcm4311-compaq-presario-c304nr/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander South Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Did you get wireless working in the c304NR and if so, how? It sounds like you had 10.5.1 did it work in there or only 10.5.2?
