CardBus/PCMCIA PC Cards for Leopard

elche · March 20, 2009

Hi,

Do you see any message in log file when it happen?

kizwan

The only messages that seem to be related to this problem are this, just before loading the PCMCIA drivers:

When it works:

There's another thing that happen togheter with the USB issue, the fan keeps running for several seconds at shutdown before the PC actually shuts down.

Hi elcheT61,

I don't know what exactly caused it but maybe IOPCIFamily.kext v3.3.0 (included with IOPCMCIAFamily.kext) may have conflict with your hardware. Perhaps it unable to initialize the devices properly. Since you need PCMCIA, you don't have much choice if you're on 10.5.6. Did you try Slice's driver for USB 2.0? Try go to this thread:-

USB 2.0 for Leopard, Also with sleep support. Last release.

Good luck.

Thanks kizwan, I'm already on Slice's USB drivers. They worked nice but I guess that you're right, I've to accept the situation (not bad really ).

The difficulty in trying to understand is that the problem does not always occur, seems to be a bit random.

I agree. It happen to my DVD drive when I'm using 10.5.5 (JaS 10.5.4 updated to 10.5.5 using Software Update). Sometime the DVD drive just disappear, undetected. I don't know what caused it. It really strange....no error message at all.

Actually, if you're using older leopard, for example 10.5.5 & lower, you can try other (older) version like rev8, beta 3 & etc. But if you're using 10.5.6, there is only one version for it. That is why I'm saying you don't have much choice. I have tried older version on 10.5.6, it just caused error & kernel panic.

~Eureka also have it own USB driver (AppleUSBController.kext), available at mediafire, the same place where you get the IOPCMCIAFamily.kext. You may want to give it a try. You just need to put it in /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. You also need to put back the original IOUSBFamily.kext, just in case. ~Eureka's driver will override AppleUSBUHCI & AppleUSBEHCI.

Good luck.

This is my 3rd post on this thread and I hope this time I get some help :unsure:

I got another laptop from the one described previously, and I have the following question.

I need help figuring out why my PCMIA wireless MN-720 is not being picked up by the OS.

I am running os x 10.5.6 on my HP 2510p, I used Chun-nan pci driver to enable the PCMIA slots.

I bought the MN-720 wireless PCMIA adapter, which has a broadcom chipset that supposed to be natively supported.

However, when I insert the card, I can see it on the finder bar with an option to turn it off, and two grayed out options "Broadcom and "802.11b cardbus" however the Airport icon is not being displayed.

Looking at dmesg, I see that the cardbus has been activated

IOPCCard info: cs: cb_free(bus 3)

IOPCCard: shutting down socket 0.

IOPCCard: calling terminate on socket 0 function 0 nub 0x3b39000.

IOCardBusDevice: releasing socket 0 function 0 from card services.

IOPCCard info: cs: cb_alloc(bus 3): vendor 0x14e4, device 0x4325

IOPCCard info: cs: cb_alloc(bus 3): found 1 functions

IOCardBusDevice: binding socket 0 function 0 to card services.

IOPCCard info: cs: cb_config(bus 3)

IOPCCard info: fn 0 bar 1: mem 0xa0002000-0xa0003fff

IOPCCard info: irq 18

I also double checked the info file for AppleAirPortBrcm4311 and made sure that my model ID is there

and it seems that the "AppleAirPortBrcm4311" driver is not seeing the card or something.

ioreg does not show the driver being used

although kexstat shows that the driver is being loaded

bash-3.2# kextstat | grep -i air

82 0 0x4091a000 0x141000 0x140000 com.apple.driver.AirPortBrcm43xx (361.24.1) <81 76 17 7 6 5 4 2>

Any idea what's going on and why the OS is not assigning .AirPortBrcm43xx to my card so I can use wireless.

Any suggestion is very appreciated

Thanks

kizwan · March 23, 2009

danillll, have you try to configure the device in System Preferences (Network)?

danillll · March 23, 2009

danillll, have you try to configure the device in System Preferences (Network)?

Hello Kizwan,

First Thanks a lot for your reply, I am so glad somebody is trying to help me :angel:

When I go to system preferences -> network, I only see my

ethernet (activated), bluetooth and firewire listed there.

If I try to add a new interface, I don't get an option to add a wireless interface, is there anything specific I need to do?

I also tried to edit the network interface and changed en0 to en1 with no luck.

It looks to me that the AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext is not getting assigned to the wireless card, so not sure what to do.

kizwan · March 23, 2009

Hi danillll,

Please post your ioreg. You can obtain it from System Profiler (Logs). Also if possible system.log. It located at "/var/log" folder.

Maybe we can find what is going wrong in this files. :angel:

Thanks again Kizwan, I will post them once I get home.

BTW I have a snippet of the both system.log and ioreg in my previous post, but I will get the complete logs once I finish work.

Thanks a lot.

danillll · March 24, 2009

Hey Kizwan,

AS requested, please see below links ( i couldn't attach files), I got a copy of dmesg, system.log and ioreg.

Note how the card has been identified

IOPCCard info: cs: cb_alloc(bus 3): vendor 0x14e4, device 0x4325

Please let me know if anything I can try.

system.log

ioreg

dmesg

Thanks

Hi danillll,

The ioreg that you posted is not complete. Can you post the one from the System Profiler? It is in the "Logs" section.

Copy & paste to text editor.

EDIT: I can't find your previous post. Can you provide the post number? I think your card is disabled or not getting any power at all.

1) Does the LED on the card lit?

2) Which release did you use? iDeneb, iPC, retail or etc?

3) Can you tell me about your wired network card?

I'll wait the complete ioreg from you.

Good luck.

Hello Kizwan,

Sorry about that, this is the ioreg as requested

new ioreg

1) Does the LED on the card lit?

Yep, it does lit

2) Which release did you use? iDeneb, iPC, retail or etc?

I used both iDeneb and IPC 10.5.6 with the same issue.

FYI, I use Chun-nan kext to enable the PCMIA

3) Can you tell me about your wired network card?

The wired connection works perfectly, I am using Intel82566MM.kext and I only had to edit its info file to match the right version for IOPCIFamily which changed after loading chun-nan's fix

<key>com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily</key>

Hope you find my issue

thanks a lot

Hi danillll,

Your card is not detected as a "network" card. It just detected as "cardbus" adapter. It mean OS X don't know what function your card have. I'm honestly don't know why. According to my search, your card should be working.

Can you list the packages that you select during installation? Did you select driver for wireless during installation? It is best not to select any driver for wireless (and wired) during installation. One more thing, your network (wired) card is not listed in your ioreg. Just like there is no network card installed/detected which explain why this message appear in your log file:-

kizwan,

Thanks for looking into this.

When I collected the system.log, I didn't have my ethernet card activated yet and this is the reason you saw the error.

For the packages, I use vanila kernel with only mouse/keyboard patch fix as well as power mgmt to display the battery.

I didn't install any wireless or network drivers.

I installed IPC and IDneb 3 times now , but

Hi danillll,

For power management, which selection did you chose? Can you try reinstall iPC again? In addition to what you usually select during install, also select AppleSMBIOS patch (AppleSMBIOSEFI or SMBIOSResolver). For power management, just select AppleACPIBatteryManager by Chun-Nan.

Kizwan,

I will try it tonight right after work.

I haven't tried the AppleSMBIOS patch so maybe it will help and I will also make sure to use Chun-Nan BatteryManager.

It's a newbie question, but wht is the AppleSMBIOS for?

Thanks

Patched version of AppleSMBIOS is for proper hardware detection. Some application do some checking before launch, like model of the PC. For example, if it found out that the model of the PC is not "Mac", it may crash. The objective is to make your PC identified like original Mac.

Thanks for your help in last 2 days. I tried a new install with your suggestions but still not working, same as before, the card is identified but not being assigned to the driver. I kinda gave up on this, I guess I will wait on my friend to let me borrow his dell d620 which seems to be 99% fully functional.

Thanks again

danillll,

FYI, I have Linksys Wireless-G WPC54G ver. 3 (PCMCIA) (broadcom - device id 4318) & it is working on my Acer Aspire 3680 with iPC 10.5.6. I also have DW 1395 (internal - mini-pcie card) (dell wireless - broadcom - device id 4315) in other laptop. If you're going to buy one try find either this two card. For the linksys WPC54G, remember that you need to find exactly "ver. 3" because any other version may have different chipset which may not compatible at all.

Good luck.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1100, and I wanted to test this but I am having kernel panics. Anyway to use your current AHCI driver with this, once I do the dmesg | grep pc, it messes that stuff up, or I think it is the AHCI driver no longer working. I did boot the iatkos install and chose the AHCI driver individually for install and it still has a kernel panic. Help. Please.

I have Sierra 875 a UMTS 3G PC Card. the device is working for the first time and can connect to the internet only once after I install IOPCMCIAFamily.KEXT and PCI Utils using OSX86Tools. but the problem is when I reboot the system, the device stop working but the system still recognize it as a PCMCIA connected with the lid still on, but the Watcher didn't recognize the card anymore, sierra modem use to connect to the net using their application called Watcher/3G Watcher. a .pkg is including a driver for it's modem. I'am using OSX86 10.5.6 Retail and NEC PCMCIA card reader.

does anyone have the same problem as I am? I really need to make this device to operate. any clue for this problem? should I post dmesg, LSPCI and information from system profiler?
