WMP54GS

[gwurb]

Hi All,

 

Need some help. The card does not see any networks and joining 'Other' gives a connection timeout. Show networks does not show any active networks in the area.

 

Put this card into the PC and it was detected as an Airport. Unfortunately it does not see any wireless networks.

 

I've gone through all the instructions in:

EDIT:

 

As part of above, have tried

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83428

and no joy when I manually run commands specified there, have not tried making the script.

END EDIT.

 

No luck.

 

Here is some information from /var/log/system.log

*EDIT*

after 10.5.6 from 10.5.4 update the following is also seen:

kernel[0]: wl0: Broadcom BCM4320 802.11 Wireless Controller

kernel[0]: AirPort_Brcm43xx: Ethernet address 00:0f:66:6f:ff:59

kernel[0]: AirPort: Link Down on en1

*EDIT*

 

 

airportd[21]: Error: ACInterfaceGetPowerPreference() called with invalid interface

airportd[21]: Error: Not an ACInterfaceRef (null)

 

(and after I tried joining Other network)

(en2 is showing as it was plugged in to get this net connection going)

 

 

The card does work in Vista 64. I have tried WPA/WPA/no security.

 

I am not sure what I am missing - I've searched the forums for some time now.

 

On the card it says WMP54GV2/3839A-WMP54GS.

 

Help with this would be great. Thanks.

 

EDIT:

1) Running 10.5.6 . Updated from 10.5.2

2) en2 is RT2500 USB based Wifi adapter

I was having that problem too ,the only solution i found was to use the 10.5.5 IO80211Family.kext ,there was no way i could make it work with 10.5.6 kext.

If any one now the solution to use the 10.5.6 kext please let us know.
