Espionage724 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Umm....First I would try editing a file and adding your Wifi information in there. I have no idea what the file is but I had to do that with my wifi card in 10.4.8 and for my ethernet card in 10.5.1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/95444-what-the-hell-do-i-have-to-do-to-get-my-wifi-working-on-my-freaking-presario-c500-c571nr/#findComment-681499 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espionage724 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 So it's detected under system profiler and it has a mac address? Or is it not detected at all? And if it was detected, it it just not working?

Akshunhiro Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 If you could be bothered to do a search, you'll see that NO-ONE has been able to get wireless working on a Presario C500. You'll find that it's not even recognised in system profiler and it's to do with the chipset powering the card. Go get a USB dongle because there isn't a fix as yet. In closing, DO A SEARCH YOU LAZY {censored}!

Slice Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 2 applehacker Sometimes cards are not working even with native driver if you use bad IOPCIFamily.kext. Try my version 2.4.4 for example.
