Aidass Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 so, how it's going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyshum Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Thank you so much for your guide. My Asus W7S works greatly except wireless, so I replaced another wireless card which were supported by OS X. But is that any patch for W7S to make it able to sleep and wake? Since this is a laptop, sleep and wake is very important too. Thank you again.

Guest undefined Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 hello, bennyshum. which card did you replace by? im thinking about the same. i don't think there's any patch to sleep, you should try different kernels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot the exact brand and model of the wireless card that i replaced. But from the system info, it shows Broadcom BCM43xx. Hope that will help you.

jjduro Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 hello, bennyshum. which card did you replace by? im thinking about the same. Is your slot a PCI-E? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest undefined Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Is your slot a PCI-E? i have no idea. i tried to look there to see a model of my card, since i dont really know what is it but half of card is covered. its pci-e most probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjduro Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 i have no idea. i tried to look there to see a model of my card, since i dont really know what is it but half of card is covered. its pci-e most probably I bought an Apple Airport Extreme Broadcom 802.11n card, which is compatable with the abg3945 card socket. It was very easy to swap the card. Now I have a native airport card out of the box. You can buy an Atheros card with a PCI-E socket or a Broadcom... there are several references about them on Insanely Mac. I think this is the best bet, since the ABG3945 drivers are taking forever to be developed... sadly though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antaholics Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 out of curiosity, doesn't the apple N card need 3 antennas vs the 2 in the 3945 card? I'm working on a new PC for my brother, hopefully I will be able to run OS X86 on it with the Q6600 overclocked cheers, Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest undefined Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 ant! are there two antennas in 3945? that would solve my unsureness with the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antaholics Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 ant! are there two antennas in 3945? that would solve my unsureness with the model I haven't seen them myself (I have 4965)... but it would make sense for a A/B/G card to only have 2 antennas...

newbmac Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Couple suggestions 1. did you try the mac web cam project drivers? 2. Did you try the fingerprint scanner drivers for OS X. I saw it in one of the forums here...download from manufacturer and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so close, i think i am just missing one little step. please help me. Try following the instructions in this thread (second post): http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=57650 This restores the darwin bootloader, which it seems like you don't have. if it says "Device could not be accessed exclusively, try doing it in single user mode (-s on startup) or boot off the DVD and do it in terminal to access the /usr/ folder in DVD, open up terminal in OS X and type "open /Volumes/DVD\ name\here/usr/standalone/" replace DVD\ name\ here with your DVD name as shown on your desktop. good luck!
