    Gonna try rebranding my BCM4322 (Dell DW-1520)

    Well, I can't get the above to work so I'm gonna try to rebrand it. (It doesn't work OOB on the PCI-Mini PCI adapter and no one can help). Can anyone tell me which is the device ID code to use (I want the ability to use wireless N).? Better still, I'm gonna try to do an IOREG GREP thingie on...

    Wireless adapter for 10.7

    Please tell us if this works. I bought the same card on ebay with the mini-PCI-e adapter and it is not working under 10.6.8. Targeting the Atheros card.

    Wireless - Recommendations?

    I thought the iMac has the 9280 (2 antenna connection). Better check properly before buying. Cannot imply there is backward compatibility just because it is a latter card.

    Wireless - Recommendations?

    As the other have said, get on ebay. Just a note. I tried the BCM4322 chip card (A Dell DW1502) minicard on the same PCI adaptor and it is not recognised automatically in 10.6.8. For the moment I would advise you to get the 4321 card. If you still want Ethernet, just get a TP-Link PCI Ethernet...

    Hope for Broadcomm 4322 ?

    Found this on the Net: "iFixit found that the main chips on the computer’s mini-PCIe wireless card included a Broadcom BCM4322 Intensi-fi Single-Chip 802.11 Transceiver, and a Broadcom BCM20702 Single-Chip Bluetooth 4.0 Processor with Bluetooth Low Energy Support. Both the new MacBook Airs and...

    How To: Build your own "Real" Airport Card

    It may be a long time before we can (ever) get the 4322 with the ID 4357 to work. I don't think you can get the 4322 to be 'backward' compatible with 4321. (Mistake on my part when buying the card). For those that want to get wireless working, I suggest you get the 4321 not the 4322 card on...

    Occasional problem with DVD drive

    I'm using a Sata Samsung DVD drive identified as TSST Corp SH-223C. My problem is that occasionally, OSX (currently 10.6.8 but also experienced with previous versions. Happened with a Lite-on drive I had previously as well) will loose this drive after burning a disc or after encountering an...

    Networking Issues / Solutions for 10.6.8

    Ok, tinkering for days without success with my wireless after 10.6.8. Did an IOReg probe and it turned out my Dell DW1520/BCM4322 is being detected by IOReg as 4357: pci14e4,4357@0 <class IOPCIDevice, id 0x1000001a3, registere$ | | | { | | | "assigned-addresses" =...

    OS 10.6.8 Problems with Airport

    I have the BCM4322 on a pci-e card. Works under Win7. The BCM4322 is not defined under 10.6.8's IO80211Family.kext (In AppleAirportBrcm43224.kext) compared with 10.6.7. However, adding <string>pci14e4,4322</string> doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'm just naive. :-) Changing over to the 10.6.7...

    How To: Build your own "Real" Airport Card

    I have the BCM4322 mini-pci with the pci-e adapter setup but I can't get it to work with 10.6.8. (The above works under Win7 after installing the driver. Win7 doesn't autoinstall the driver for this) Any help for getting the 4322 to work under 10.6.8? Thanx

    Networking Issues / Solutions for 10.6.8

    My Broadcom 4322 is not being detected automatically. Browsing into the IO80211Family.kext I notice that the 4322 in not defined in AppleAirPortBrcm43224.kext or AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext. Was just wondering whether editing the .plist as per http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ...

    10.6.8 update Broadcom4322

    I upgraded to 10.6.8 and then decided to install a Broadcom 4322 Wifi card via a PCI adapter. My Ethernet is via a PCI card (OSX compatible and working well. Onboard Gigabyte EP45-UD3L network got damaged in a lightning strike). kext from IOPCIFamily-Fixed.zip installed as part of the 10.6.8...

    Difference between NVenabler and NVenabler64?

    I guess it is no longer needed. I think it got put there (/Extra) at the start of the SL installation in the days I was using 9500GT and my upgraded GT240 was still 'new' and was a renamed card. So I gather with the GT240 I just need Chimera and GraphicsEnabler=Yes?
