Networking Issues / Solutions for 10.6.8

Not open for further replies.
Oh, that's not good :/ Well I checked my files and I also noticed that I am using AtherosFix.kext. I must have installed it automatically without thinking so I forgot about it :/ Sorry for not mentioning it before ... Also, I am not using IO80211family.kext from 10.6.8. I'm using modified version of 10.6.7 one with device id injected.

Here, I have uploaded my whole package - .bundle file and two kexts that make my wifi (TP-Link WN551g based on Atheros AR5005g) working without any problems.

Code:

You may try it, I hope it helps. Be sure to make a backup before though! :p

--- EDIT ---

Above link doesn't work since, well, it's megaupload ;) I got a request, apparently some time ago, to reupload this file so here it is. I'm 99% sure that it's exactly the same zip package that I uploaded last time (two kexts + .bundle file). Hope it works.

With these files everything started working, so right now i'm posting using wireless)) Thank u so much for them!
The last question i have, maybe it's more than i may ask, but what's about 64bit versions and compat :D or they arent needed at all?
 
I'm glad I could help! :)
I don't know about 64 bit version, I don't think they are needed. Can't answer that question, it's my second day using Mac OS X so I'm still learning how it all works together :)
 
Well, this is such an interesting place that I have just discovered. I have been working on my wireless access for days without success.

I have installed, using iBoot, OS10.6.6 on my Dell Latitude 2100 Atom, Intel Mobile GMA950. I was actually amazed that things could work out. Airport is a problem now. Now matter how I scan it, nothing can be discovered. LAN works perfectly.
I installed multibeast 3.7.3 and use iboot legacy on SD card to start my Hackintosh.
Can anyone give me a clue how I can resolve this issue?

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. ... 84&hl=4322

will be helpful at all.

Thinking of doing this....

In AppleAirPortBrcm43224.kext

add in:

<string>pci14e4,4322</string>

After this perhaps, deleting NetworkInterfaces.plist and reboot.

Would it work?
 
I'm using a D-Link 556 Xtreme PCIe card. In 10.6.7, everything was perfect. After installing 10.6.8, the wireless network in our home is no longer being detected. The card shows up in SysPref as Airport, and also as an active interface in the Network Prefs. It just no longer seems to be detecting our home network.

I've tried the three potential solutions at the beginning of this thread, but still no luck.

Anyone have a similar card or other ideas?
 
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" = <100003820000000000c0effd00000000004$

| | | "IODeviceMemory" = (({"address"=4260347904,"length"=16384})$
| | | "IOPowerManagement" = {"CurrentPowerState"=2}

| | | "IOChildIndex" = 1
| | | "acpi-pmcap-offset" = 64
| | | "device-id" = <57430000>
| | | "IOPCIExpressASPMDefault" = 0
| | | "name" = "pci14e4,4357"
| | | "compatible" = <"pci14e4,4da","pci14e4,4357","pciclass,0280$
| | | "IOPCIResourced" = Yes
| | | "IOPCIExpressLinkCapabilities" = 1534993
| | | "subsystem-id" = <da040000>

| | | "IOPCIExpressLinkStatus" = 12305
| | | "pcidebug" = "3:0:0"
| | | "IOName" = "pci14e4,4357"
| | | "acpi-wake-type" = 2
| | | "reg" = <00000300000000000000000000000000000000001000030200$
| | | }


So, using the IO80211Family.kext from 10.6.7 and "injected" the 4377 ID into AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext and AppleAirPortBrcm43224.kext by inserting

<string>pci14e4,4357</string> into the info.plist.

No success here.

One other thing I have done to connect to AppStore....

As I have my Ethernet on a PCI card, I have edited com.Apple.boot.plist in /Extra


<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>No</string>

I need to put this as No in order to Inactivate and Remove any network definitions under System Preferences and to remove /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist. If not, the system will hang with a spinning rainbow disc.

-----------------------------------------------
So now I have my PCI Ethernet coming up as Ethernet (en0) in Network but there is just no Airport/Boradcom being detected. The other detected interfaces are VPN,PPPOE and 6 to 4.

Any ideas now how to enable by Broadcom pci-e card?

Thanx.
 
Still no luck for me either....my wireless card is properly recognized, but it cannot "see" any wireless networks.

So, I updated to Lion last night. Unfortuneately, whatever Apple's 10.6.8 update broke, Lion does not fix :(

Hi, all this is my first post here. Just wanted to say that the above post worked for me. First let me say that I have a lenovo thinkpad t61. It came with the intel wifi card which I just replaced with the Lenovo ThinkPad Atheros Wireless Card 39T5578. I used the files listed above. I replaced the monitor file first, I then installed the two kext with kext helper. I then used kext helper on the extensions folder to repair permissions and rebuild the mkext. I then open the sys pref for networking, removed the usb wifi stick i was using. I then deleted all of the connections that were there. Airport was there from before, when I had tried other fixes that did not work. I then restarted, after boot I went into the sys pref again and I add the connections back. First I added ethernet, then the airport. This is what got my Thinkpad T61 with the replaced Atheros Wireless Card 39T5578 to work.

Hope this helps someone else, as I have learned much from this and other hackintosh community boards

*edit sorry forgot to mention that I am on 10.6.8
