PC Based Wireless Cards

Will PC based wireless PCI cards work on the Mac Pro, or do I have to buy a card made for the Mac?
I've looked around and can only find cards for the G3 or G4...

The Airport Extreme card isn't compatible with the Mac Pro...why, I don't know.
From the Apple store:
*+This AirPort Extreme Card is not compatible with the Mac Pro or the Power Mac G5 Dual and Power Mac G5 Quad computers...+*
The port for the Airport is much smaller than the interface on the extreme (I found this out after the fact...I bought one, but didn't read the small print).
Additionally, the nearest Apple store is 50 miles away. I don't feel like driving for an hour to get it done, and on top of that I'm sure they'd charge an arm and a leg to do it.

  • Linux compatible chipset wireless card

    Okay,
    I'm sick to death of my Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01)
    I'm just curious if there is any company that is looking to cater to the linux market. I'd like my wallet to show my thanks:)
    It's not that ndiswrapper is hard to use but even when done I simply can't get it to work and yes I've searched the forum and gone through 4 or 5 different setups........I'm not asking for help on this because plenty has been offered on this board.
    My question is: Is there a company that is making pci and pcmcia cards that are linux compatible without having to install some compatibility layer (correct term?) like ndiswrapper? A company that is giving the source code to us so we can have true drivers for our product?
    Don't misunderstand this post - I'm not complaining about linux - I just want to support the companies that would like our business.
    Thanks,
    McRae

That would lead to legal problems which is why their are no drivers from Broadcom for linux.
    Unfortunately, that's bulldust, we have every reason to blame Broadcom for their lack of support.
    The current drivers utilise the firmware files from the windows driver. And it's in those firmware files that the frequencies live. So no, Broadcom COULD have released a driver, just like the one being developed. This is also how intel, Ralink, TI and other vendors work. All of which have licenses that forbid modification, thus if someone does hack them, they're doing so illegally, and the respective manufacturers can't be held at fault. Heck, the firmware in the broadcom windows drivers, already falls under an equivalent license, so they wouldn't need to even change that.
    They could even build one like Madwifi, which has a closed source file which is included at compile time that contains the frequencies. Or just not build shit software based wireless cards, and develop proper ones that work more at a hardware level like the rt2500.
    That's not a valid excuse from Broadcom part, not even remotely valid.

  • Wireless card seems to be not working

    Hello everyone,
    I haven't had any problems with my wireless card for my Macbook Pro since I purchased it, but something seems to be acting up now. Here's the situation...I went away for the weekend, took my laptop with me, didn't use the internet at all. Then I came back to my wireless card not working. It has a self-assigned IP address of 169.254.183.17. I did some reading on it and what people of said is that when you have this particular address your computer can't access the internet. I have power cycled both the router and modem correctly without any success.
    I have another laptop that is windows based that can connect wirelessly so I've identified that it isn't a router problem. The thing that baffles me is that I can hard wire my Macbook into the router and achieve a connection...any suggestions on what I should try next?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for replying,
    I did go into advanced settings to see what was up. And the TCP/IP tab was the area that I was focusing on. Okay...I did try renewing the DHCP lease and it keeps giving me the unusable IP address. One potential problem that may be contributing to this fiasco is that I think the modem in my household is also a router (which we're just using as a modem). The modem isn't mine so I'm not sure how it was setup. I don't believe that modem is activated to give off a wireless connection. I don't know why it would be a problem because I was connecting to the router just fine before. If the windows based laptop can connect just fine, it wouldn't be the router...(just thinking out loud here).
    I was given an option by one of our IT personal at the office that I work at...he said that I could completely remove the network from my saved list and re-enter it. He also said that I would have to delete some temporary files that are saved in a hidden folder that are "preference" files for that specific network. I wasn't able to find that folder, and I did try deleting the network but it didn't seem to fix the situation. If I could simply just go back to square one, as I did when I first connected to the network I'm sure it would fix everything.
    I hope this wasn't too long to read, hopefully it gives good insight.
    Regards

  • [SOLVED] BCM43241 wireless card seems to not exist.

    Hey guys, I'm trying to install Arch on a Sony Vaio Duo 13. Unfortunately, it only has a wifi card and no ethernet port. Usually, installing wireless card drivers involves using lspci to detect what card I have, then finding the drivers and firmware for it. But this time the card (BCM43241) does not show up at all in Arch (it works in Windows). There's no trace of it with lspci or lsusb (fyi: it's a builtin card).
    Here's my lspci and lsusb output:

    Any thoughts on why the device doesn't show up? Is there any other output I can provide?

    trusktr wrote:@paperwastage. I'm not sure how to tell if connects through SDIO, but yeah, based on that link you posted seems like it does. But when I do dmesg | grep brcm is shows aboslutely nothing. There's no trace of my card anywhere. It just seems like Arch has no clue that the card exits (let alone that it's a wireless card). Does yours at least show up with lshw or lspci?
    nope, mine doesn't show up via lshw/lspci/lsusb, probably because it's not connected to the pci / usb bus  (probably connected directly to SoC)
    maybe your kernel doesn't have brcmfmac loaded. try this in root
    #unload brcmfmac
    modprobe -r brcmfmac
    #reload brcmfmac
    modprobe brcmfmac
    note down the logs that should print on screen (and in dmesg)
    also, go to windows, use some application to read your system (I've used http://rh-software.com/)
    it showed my Broadcom 802.11abgn Wireless SD Adapter mounted on "SD\VID_.....", which is the SDIO port

  • LinkSys Wireless Card connects to "Access Point" but no internet connection

    I have 2 LinkSys wireless cards. one is 802.11g, the other b. The signal for the Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi Wireless Base Station is very strong, but when I try to connect, it says "You are connected to the access point, but the Internet cannot be found". No internet access, and I can't ping anything (Ping request could not find host...). And of course the printer hooked to the AirPort is also not recognized. My iMac and Macbook both have no problems connecting to the network. There is no problem with ethernet connection to the Airport. Is it possible to have a compatibility problem between the Linksys and Airport hardware? I thought as long as they were were compatible 802.11, they would work together. The cards had no problem with my old DLink router or other hotspots in the city. Is there a set-up I missed for setting up the PC-based cards with the AirPort?

    Is your wireless network secured?
    The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

    above card are having issue with WPA2 enabled ssid connecitivity. strange is , the same users are getting connected to other wep enabled SSID but its not working for WPA2 SSID.
    I have external ACS server which is used for radius authentication. Last time I had put same query in support forum did some workaround.
    eq. disabling DHCP proxy option in WLC and moving all DHCP scope in external server.
    After doing this workaround this mentioned users are still facing issue. I gone through some cisco document and some forums and came across that there is something to be done in " Session Timed Out "  optionin WLC
    which is default 1800 sec based on that I tried to capture debug outputs for mentioned above problematic clients and user who is working fine .
    I gone through the same debug output  and observed :
    User who is working fine :
    Processing Access-Accept for mobile 00:22:5f:8d:55:84
    00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Setting re-auth timeout to 1800 seconds, got from WLAN config.

  • Help please ; which G-based PCI card will work on MDD?

    Hi there,
    Based on what I've learned from this forum, the BroadComm chipset is needed in wireless PCI cards if these are to work on our Macs (MDDs). However, finding if this chipset is the one has proven to be at best, an exercise in futility.
    NewEgg has the following card on sale (Rosewill 802.11b/g PCI Wireless Card, model no. RNX-G300LX, for $13.99. Coupon code "EMCBBBJCC" chops it to $8.99. With free shipping!). The technical specs claim that the card works under OS 10.3,10.4,10.5.
    Has anyone had positive experiences with this brand (or any other for that matter)? I do want to add a G-type PCI card but can't figure out which one will work.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Regards,
    Jacobo

    From the product photos on Rosewill's site it looks like that card uses an RALink chipset (the RA 2651T, I think). RALink has Mac drivers for its wireless chipsets from 10.3-10.4 on its website here:
    http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html
    Those drivers should allow you to use that card on your Mac in OS X - since it doesn't use a Broadcom chipset, it wouldn't work in OS 9. I don't know how well they work (the card I'm using in my Sawtooth now is a RT-Link card) but I know Linksys currently uses RALink chipsets in their 802.11b/g PCI cards (WMP54G v4.1) and people have used RALink's posted drivers to use those cards in their Macs.
    AFAIK, no currently shipping wireless PCI cards use Broadcom chipsets.

  • Fujitsu Amlio Li 2735 Wireless card issues

    Hello,
    I have a laptop that I want to run Arch Linux but I have a issue that I do run into with many Linux distros, not just Arch in particular. The issue is that Fujitsu have made it that my wireless card does not automatically start on boot and it does not have a physical switch on the laptop, what you have to do (For windows at least) is have a application installed that allows you to enable the card. Now this software is only avalible on Windows, not Linux but, Ubuntu and Debian based distros seem to be able to automatically enable the card on boot. This does not happen however in other distros like CentOs.
    So I know that it is possible to get the drivers working under linux but I have no idea how to get them working in Arch and preferably in the live cd install although, I can install the base system through other means but I would like to use the internal card.
    From lspci | grep -i net it is identified as:
    Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 04)
    And from iwconfig
    wlp8s0      IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any
                    Mode: Managed Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=off
                    Retry    long limit:7  RTS thr:off   FragmentL thr:off
                    Encryption key:off
                    Power Management:off
    ip link set wlp8s0 up does nothing and dmesg | grep firmware produces no output.
    (I do know there is a hardware 'modification' that you can perform to break contact with one of the pins on the wireless card but I would rather leave that as a last resort)
    Any help is appreciated and I hope you can solve my issue.

    The easiest way to figure it out is to boot a Ubuntu live cd, and check dmesg for what is enabling your wireless card, then check the configurations associated with that event and translate them to your arch setup.
    Edit:  You might want to also run "rfkill list" and see if it really is a hard lock that is preventing the card from working.
    The card seems to have a soft lock on it.
    I did today somehow manage to get the card to work on Arch but I am not 100% how or why is started enabled, I'm guessing it was somehow enabled from this morning when I used a liveUSB LMDE.
    Anyway, this is the dmesg I get under that live USB:

    EDIT:
    Regarding the softblock, I spent the last hour or two trying to get it working and found I could just run: rfkill unblock 0
    Excuse my Linux noobines, I don't usually spend a lot of time getting my wifi working via CLI.
    But on a final note, it there a way to get this to work on start up? Via bash scripts of similar?

  • Belkin Wireless Card+Powerbook G4

    Firstly, I apologise for the question, but despite my best efforts I havent been able to find a quick answer.
    I'm currently travelling in italy and have just picked up a Belkin F5D7011 Wireless card so I can get on the net in the hotel I am staying at (yeah, should have sorted this before i left, I know, I'm a fool!).
    There are no drivers, and while belkins online help say its not compatible I have seen posts saying that if its based on the broadcom (if thats right) chipset, then it should work. I've plugged it into the machine, and tried the airport helper, but nothing appeared to happen.
    I am currently posting from an internet cafe, hence the desperation and foolish question. I will go back to my hotel to try it again, but is there something I should be doing, or more accuratly, is there something I'm doing wrong, ie, a certain procedure?
    If anyone has any links to other discussions or help articles, I'd really really love you for it.

    Hi, sf. The 7011, which does use the same Broadcom chipset as Apple's Airport hardware, is reported to work fine on Macs running Airport 3.4.1 software. If your Tiger installation includes a newer Airport software version than that, perhaps that's where the problem lies.
    Does Apple System Profiler detect the card?

  • GX620 wireless card

    I recently bought a gx620 laptop, and the wireless card for this thing is seriously horrible! I can only connect when i'm just feet from the wireless router, and on many networks i can't connect at all. (I have another laptop with an external wireless adapter that works fine, and my friend who also bought the GX620 has the same problem)
    I'm aware that there is (was?) a problem with the BIOS, but my laptop is working great other than the wireless part.
    Does anyone know whhy this is happening? I figure its just the quality of the card, and it can be solved by buying a new, external one, but i figured i'd ask here before shelling out the money.

    Check this Intel's knowledge based article
    http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/cs-006205.htm
    Also, check the updated drivers for Intel's WLAN adapters, go for the version with WiFi connection utility, use it for creating profiles for your networks.
