komeet Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 hmm... my 4311 worked out of the box with Kalyway and with iAtkos after applying the 10.5.2 combo update. Is the card shown up in the system profiler? Check if you have the related kext installed. It is called bcm43xx.kext, I guess. (I don't have access to my OSX right now, but I can check later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

komeet Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Ok I uploaded my IO8211Family.kext to mediafire. Download, unzip and copy it into the /System/Library/Extensions folder. Then repair permissions and see if it works. http://www.mediafire.com/?9widdksfewe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mehdymehdy Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 i bought airport extreme mini pci card that has driver for vista . it's supported by hp . and the ID num is 4321 i'm waiting for it to arrive .i will be installing this on hp compaq presario C300 model number C304NR. this test should be beneficial for C500 also , becuase it will prove to us compaq presario users what is the cause for the wifi not turning on. now IF this card didn't work it means the slot is the problem . i mean the mini pci slot . where the mini pci card sits, and i'm saying this because this card comes with a driver for mac OS X so it should work. and if it works it means it's the card that is not being recognized. i will test this and i will come back with the news. i'm hopping as those who use the same laptops should hope that the cause is not the slot . BRB after the test hmm... my 4311 worked out of the box with Kalyway and with iAtkos after applying the 10.5.2 combo update.Is the card shown up in the system profiler? Check if you have the related kext installed. It is called bcm43xx.kext, I guess. (I don't have access to my OSX right now, but I can check later)you should also mention what is ur laptop ???
