Hello Chunan,

I have installed your latest IOPCMCIAfamly kexts into my 10.5.6 partition, I deleted the original Leopard PCI and Pccard kexts from extensions so that your modified kexts are the only ones loaded.

After much testing My PC card is seen and works great if the card is loaded in the card reader when the computer is booted up, But, if the card is inserted after boot up it causes a hang when trying to access the card files and when trying to eject the cards desktop icon.

Is there anything I can do myself to work on the insert/eject side of the kexts in xcode.

thankyou so much for your efforts to get this working.

Just the insert/eject is now the only issue to rectify, can I open a driver file and re load it in xcode to try for my self, is that possible or is there a xcode code that I can work on somewhere.

Hi.

 

I got a device with id 1217:7135. I first tried the Leopard.kext with Jas 10.5.4 installation but it wouldn't work and would break my installation. Then I installed XxX 10.5.6 and with 10.5.6 kext I get the output in the image (sorry for the bad quality, all I had was my HTC phone) and then it freezes there. A couple of lines up, not seen in the image, are messages about using the newer versions of IOPCIFamily.kext and IOPCCardFamily.kext (I left the originals in the Extensions folder).

 

Now I am also trying AnV's kext, and after adjusting memory ranges it also gives me an error Intel PCIC probe not found.

 

 

Any ideas?

@ziggie216 & @Panda_N_Shark,

 

I want to make it clear that kexts from this thread (IOPCMCIAFamily.kext - IOPCIFamily.kext & IOPCCardFamily.kext) are not a driver for your wireless card. It actually a driver for CardBus/PCMCIA controller. However, IOPCIFamily.kext available from this thread actually try to fix the devices/bridges misconfigured by BIOS. This result the devices (network interface, wireless card & etc) will be properly recognized. For example, if you have working wireless card that was pull out from macbook to put it in your hackintosh laptop but you found out that you can't get it to work, you may need IOPCIFamily.kext from this thread to fix the problem.

 

Actually to get your device working, the device itself must be supported by OS X, meaning it require a driver for that particular device. As for above example, the driver already already exist in OS X (IO80211Family.kext - AirPortAtheros.kext for atheros wireless card & AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext for broadcom wireless card). It just not working because it was misconfigured by BIOS & IOPCIFamily.kext fixed that.

 

You may already know this.....but I just want to make it clear one more time about the core idea of this project. :)

 

Ok....now....the kext that you are looking for is available at the first page of this thread. The link will re-direct you to externel file hosting server. The files that you're looking for are:-

1) "IOPCMCIAFamily.Leopard.zip" for leopard (for leopard version lower than 10.5.6)

or

2) "IOPCMCIAFamily.Tiger.zip" for tiger

or

3) "IOPCMCIAFamily.kext.zip" for leopard 10.5.6 only (inside "10.5.6.only" folder)

 

Just unzip & install it in "/System/Library/Extensions/" folder. IOPCIFamily.kext & IOPCCardFamily.kext are located in "PlugIns" folder. You don't need to remove anything. Don't forget to repair permissions before reboot.

 

bash-3.2# ls -al IOPCMCIAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  136 Feb  4 08:35 .
drwxr-xr-x  5 root  wheel  170 Feb  4 08:35 ..
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  136 Feb  4 08:35 IOPCCardFamily.kext
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  wheel  136 Feb  4 08:35 IOPCIFamily.kext
bash-3.2#

 

Good luck. ;)

Now i understand it better :)

 

So to put my atheros to work i only need install that 3 kext! Should i use khelper to install it or copy past into extensions folders and do the permission things?

 

Sorry for ask all this, but my first time try do that i get a kernel panic and must reinstall osx.

Hi,

 

It actually one kext. You just need to install IOPCMCIAFamily.kext. In the IOPCMCIAFamily.kext, it contain IOPCIFamily.kext & IOPCCardFamily.kext. I think you installed it correctly....just maybe redundant...but ok. Installing using KextHelper is highly recommended.

 

Check in "System Profiler" to determine if the kext load successfully or not.

As for your Atheros, AR5006EG is a beast. :P I mean it was difficult to get it working. Someone has posted guideline to get AR5006EG working. Check this post:-

Good luck. :P

EDIT: Please post the screenshot of your System Profiler. Just like I did & make sure to select "IOPCIfamily" so that I can see which version did load. Thank you. :)

 

Sorry, I don't understand... Did you fix the permissions & clear kext cache after installing the kext? Try boot with "-f" & see what happen.

You can fix it by removing "IO80211Family.kext" version 2.1.2 from "/System/Library/Extensions/" folder. To do that, boot with the OS X installer DVD & open terminal to remove the kext file. You do backup the original one, don't you?

Hy! I remove the 3 kext i have in extensions then i only install latest IOPCMCIAFamily.kext always with the "khelper" then reboot and get the kernel panic! I didn't even install 2.1.2...

 

Now i can't boot, i doon't have a external dvd (i get one borrow for install) i will try to put the OSX dvd into 8gb sd card...

 

Can't boot with -v, -s or -f always get kernel panic . With one i get a more detail info..

 

I see something like

could'd alloc class "AppleACPIPlatformExpert" panic .....

Hi,

 

By saying the latest IOPCMCIAFamily.kext, that mean you installed IOPCMCIAFamily.kext for 10.5.6 right? Because if you installed IOPCMCIAFamily.kext for leopard 10.5.5 & below, there is high chance that you may experience kernel panic. If you did installed IOPCMCIAFamily.kext for 10.5.6, maybe it is not compatible with your PC. So you do really need to boot with OS X DVD to fix the problem. You need to remove IOPCMCIAFamily.kext from your extensions folder. If you can post the screenshot of that kernel panic, it will help me to determine what going wrong. Also, can you explain to me how you installed IOPCMCIAFamily.kext & how you fix the file permissions?

 

You can put OS X DVD installer into 4GB or 8GB thumbdrive using "Disk Utility". Of course you need to boot from the OS X DVD installer to access "Disk Utility" program. :wallbash: Use "Restore" function in the "Disk Utility" program to copy OS X DVD content to your thumbdrive.

 

Good luck. :)

Beside "Disk Utility", I don't know any utility that can do that. I'll let you know if I found one.

 

Do you have extra external harddisk or thumbdrive that big enough (> 8GB) to hold OS X? If you have one, install OS X into it & use it to put OS X installation DVD to thumbdrive (bootable). It can be use later as "rescue disk".

@Eureka,

I would first like to thank you for the time and effort you invested in this driver.

I've been using your PCMCIA rev8, this fixed a major issue in my setup, which is the long boot time where the system taked over 20 minutes to start OS x.

 

I got 2 quick questions:

 

1) I tried your latest rev for 10.5.6 , however, after applying it the system wouldn't boot, it just hangs (still not sure if I am getting long boot time again) , is there any major change between rev8 and the latest rev? Anything suggestion I can try? any logs you want me to provide?

 

2) I have Ricoh 5C476 (II) on my HP 8510w which is not working eith rev8 , is there anything I can do to fix this.

 

Thanks

 

Dani

Hi everyone!

 

When I updated from 10.5.5 iATKOS 5i I experienced a problem with Intel Pro 100VE (0x10928086) Ethernet card. Card is always "cable unplugged" state. I tried everything from the topic about Intel Pro 100VE ( http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...4840&st=160 ) I installed LATEST IOPCMCIAFamily.kext (10.5.6 ONLY). After using dmesg | grep PC as root Terminal says:

Hi guys,

First of all I want to thank everyone for making this forum so useful and full of nice information.

 

I'm experiencing some problems with 10.5.6 PCMCIA driver (IOPCCardFamily.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext I've used are both 3.3.0) that make my PCMCIA work like a charm but give me problems with USB hubs on my Lenovo T61.

The situation is this: sometimes, more often when AC adapter is plugged in, the USB Hubs of fingerprint readed / bluetooth or the one of the right side USB port simply do not work.

They don't even appear in the system profiler.

 

The strange thing is that this doesn't happen every time I boot, but almost random.

 

The IOPCMCIAFamily.kext make also work my sleep, a bit strange actually, without the small moon but seems real sleep, fan and disk are totally quiet.

 

I've tried to rename the kext and use the IOPCIFamily.kext 2.5.4 and USB work fine, no sleep in this way (system wakes up after 3 seconds) and no PC Card.

 

Any ideas of the connection between PCMCIA driver and USB hubs?

 

Thanks
