Recomendations for PCI Wireless board

Hi,
I'm planning to add a wireless PCI card to 3 desktop computers at home. I run only Arch in all of them.
I'm mainly worried about by compatibility with Arch. What board would you recomend?
Thanks

If it's Arch on 32bit you'll manage to get windows drivers work through ndiswrapper, if there's no support in the kernel. If 64bit I'll recommend you to stick with boards that have kernel support. I had successfuly installed pci boards (from trendnet) with ATH500x (54Mbps) chipset (kernel module ath5k). I also got working a board with Ralink chipset (300Mbps), through ndiswrapper, with the windows drivers that come on the board's cd. Configuring the connection is a little bit tougher, but with the help of network-manager I think you'll manage to do it quickly. There's a modified network-manager by the Pardus Linux team, as the result of an effort at the Google Summer of Code, that makes the life of configuring wired and wireless networks even easier. But i didn't see those pacthes integrated in another distro as of now.
Also, some other supported chipsets should be Intel ones (and they're known about their openness towards Linux driver development). But I don't have experience with those chips, so I'm not able to advise you about them.
Happy Linux-ing!
Update: Sorry, the chipset on the 300Mbps board was mistakenly attributed to Atheros. It is a RALINK chipset. I updated my previous comment.

Any recomendations for PCI slot configuration

Setting up a new Mac Pro, venturing into HDV. For the 4 PCI slots I have 2 GeForce cards, a Kona LHe, and the last slot will get the SCSI card for a RAID array.
When I put in the Kona Card I got a PCI configuration app on boot. It gave me several choices for configuring the slots at varous speeds, (16x, 8x, 4x, 1x).
The slots are not set independently. For example, The appropriate configuration per AJA support was the choice that gave: 16x for Video Card 1, 8x for Video card 2, 4x for the Kona, and 1x for the currently empty, (soon to have the SCSI card) slot.
Note: Per AJA support, the Kona is operating at full speed at 4x, however the Mac reports (the slot?) is operating at below maximum speed. As it does for the GeForce operating at 8x.
So my question is (finally - thank you if you are still with me) I am anticipating seeing this utility again when the SCSI card is installed. Is there minimum speed selection I should be aware of to prevent dropped frames etc. I am assuming if I need to reduce one of the other slots to get a higher speed for the SCSI the video cards are likley candidates. I cant think of any issues I would have running them at 8x or even 4x.
Thanks,

On the new Mac Pro systems, I don't believe you can get a 16/8/4/1 setup.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/HWtechPCI/Articles/pciimplementation.html
Based on my experience with the Kona 3 and the PCIe Configurator, the best you can get is 16x, 8x, 1x, and 1x. The previous G5 systems did allow a 16/8/4/1, but not the newer models.
I currently ran into this issue setting up a Mac Pro with a Kona 3, X1900, and a SATA card. ATTO has some nice features, but it needed an 8x slot...which doesn't play with the Kona 3 and x1900. Not enough bandwidth left over.

PCI wireless possible? RAM location for 233MHz Power Mac G3?

Hello All!
I just added a free Power Mac G3 233MHz to my collection! For fun, I want to install 10.2.8, add 768 MB RAM, 40GB HD, PCI USB 2.0, PCI ATI 9200 and a PCI Macwireless or Aria wireless card. I want to keep the 233MHz CPU! My first question is, how do I install RAM? I pulled the cover and thought it would be in plain sight like the PCI area. Also, I found two PCI wireless cards online that will work with the 233MHz G3 under 10.2.8 using Airport software. Has anyone had luck using wireless? I searched the forum and found no results.
Thanks in advance! I'm glad to be part of the Beige G3 community!

Since you have a good collection of Macs already, maybe think about what you want to use this machine for, and what upgrades you really need. The ATI 9200 may be overkill, since the stock 233MHz CPU will not really be fast enough to run any of the real-time 3D graphics apps that would require the 9200, however, you would be able drive multiple monitors, one-DVI & one-VGA, from the 9200, in addition to the built-in Macintosh video output. What specific apps do you want to run on it?
To use the built-in Macintosh video output with a standard VGA monitor you need a Macintosh to VGA adapter. There is an on-board VRAM slot that you can fill with a 4MB module to increase the color depth and resolution options to use a larger monitor on the built-in video card, if you decide you want to use the built-in video rather than a PCI video.
It might be hard to find, but maybe you could get a used ATI Radeon Mac Edition for a little less money, but if you want to buy a new PCI video with warranty, I think the 9200 is the only option.
One thing that is abysmally slow in the G3's is the on-board ATA33 which actually runs at about half-speed of what is expected. You are lucky to get 16 MB/sec throughput max. A good alternative, if you have the spare PCI slot, would be to add an ATA66 PCI card or better, which will also add Master/Slave support, but requires some creative ATA-cable origami to reach from the PCI card to the hard drives in the expansion bays, but it is possible. You could get roughyl 40 MB/sec from an ATA66 PCII drive. Booting and launching apps would be not quite twice as fast, but definitely noticeable.
The extra RAM you plan to get will definitely help, but if you lack enough RAM both OS 9 and OS X will use virtual memory swap space on the hard drive, so having that faster through put will also help improve general performance.
But, if it's just for fun and messing around this may not be an important issue for you anyway. Just something to consider.
You might be able to use an external wireless USB device (not sure if drivers are available for 10.2 for any on the market today) or wireless Ethernet adapter (no drivers needed, but still limited to slower 10BaseT speed on the G3), to free up one of the PCI slots for the ATA66 card. If the built-in Ethernet is still functional, can you just run a wire?
If you can get 10.3 I'd recommend that, 10.2 just seems to have been not quite as stable, but I really can't remember if that may have been due to Norton Utilities that I was also using at the time.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ has some old do-it-yourself upgrade articles on the G3's.
http://www.otherworldcomputing.com/ also has good Mac-customer support and knowledge of compatible products.

Where can I download IMAQ driver version 1.0 for the PCI-1408 board?

Because of the computer crash I have to reinstall the NI-IMAQ driver version 1.0 for my PCI-1408 board. I couldn't find the original IMAQ driver which came with the PCI-1408 board. Could anybody tell me where I can download the software? Thank you very much.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lowest version I could locate on the ftp site was 1.5, that may work:

Looking for hardware (PCI Wireless LAN)

I'm looking for a PCI Wireless LAN card that will work well with Linux, does anyone know of any place that documents this sort of thing? (as in a list)

Euphoric Nightmare wrote:Okay, just figured out i can't use pci, because there are no slots available...fucking dells...i'll have to look at some other options
I think it's other option, singular - as in USB? I recently had to switch wifi to USB myself, when my laptop's card slots died. After a bit of research, I went for the prism2 chipset with the wlan-ng driver - specifically, the Netgear MA111. It's all working fine now, but in retrospect, I'd probably go for something that works better with wireless_tools.
AFAICS, there aren't any stable drivers for 802.11g over USB - madwifi may or may not do it, depending on Atheros, prism54 is trying, and they have pre-alpha stuff available for the brave/foolish, and there's also the zd1211 project on sourceforge.

3rd party pci wireless card for G4 1.25GHz (MDD 2003) & Leopard?

Greetings. Upgrade to Leopard broke wireless on my son's PowerMac G4 1.25GHz (MDD 2003). Previous PCI wireless G card was a third party distributed by Buffalo, but it worked fine under Tiger. Does anyone have a recommendation on a third party card known to work with 10.5.x?
Thanks!
gary2400

I am using a Belkin F5D7000 in a AGP G4 Tower. The chipset is by Ralink. Free OS X version drivers are available here:
http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm
While not as elegant as Airport software, of course, the driver and card work excellent.
If you can find a wireless PCI card using the original Broadcom chip sets, just like the Airport card, then it will be recognized as an Airport card and use the Apple software. These are hard to find now however.
Here is an excellent article on what you are trying to do:

Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card

I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have an intermittent problem connecting my Tecra 9100 to it. If the 9100 has been shutdown for a while (like overnight), when I restart I always get 'Network cable unplugged' for the wireless connection. Rebooting a number of times (anything from 3 upwards) I eventually get connected to the router and all then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (i.e. once the wireless card has connected) does not cause a problem but as soon as I leave the machine shutdown for a length of time it fails again at reboot.
There are no errors in the Event log.
I am using the built in mini-PCI wireless card and have already upgraded to the latest driver.
Any ideas gratefully recieved, at the moment each morning is a 20-30 minute frustration of rebooting trying to get my connection working.
(Running Win2K Professional)

Checking other boards for help (Netgear etc.) it seems that the 'Network cable unplugged' is a common message when wireless connectivity is failing. However, to prove the point, I have disabled the other LAN card (for which I was also getting 'network cable unplugged' but as expected since it was). I still get the same issue with the wireless card, although now the reboots are slightly more predictable - it normally seems to succeed on the third reboot. I guess disabling the other card has changed the startup timing slightly and in that way made things slightly better.
Again, any other suggestions gratefully received. As this seems to be a timing issue at startup, I am suspicious that one of the other things that runs at that time is causing the problem.

P43 Neo - PCI wireless LAN performance problems

Hi,
i recently installed the Neo P43 Board. Everything runs fine so far, except PCI wireless LAN (maybe more, it's the only PCI card I use). I already updated the BIOS to 1.6 but it doesnt fix it.
I tried 2 different WLAN cards (1 Realtek and 1 Ralink). Both of them basicly work, but the transfer rates are painfully slow although the connection quality is reported as good enough.
Anyone else having issues?

How low are the transfer rates?
It varies a bit but most of the time very low (as low as 1kbps or sometimes not working at all)
What are you connected to (Router?, What kind of Router)?
Connected to a router. It's a "Speedport" router, I think they are manufactured by Siemens.
When you talk about the transfer rate, do you mean the transfer rate that you get when you try to copy files to another system in a Wireless network?
I mean downloading files from the Internet over the router, or generally the connection to the router (like status page).
The Ralink card used to work just fine in my older PC with an Athlon XP / Nforce Chipset (and several other PCs), but on the Neo P43 makes problems with both, the Ralink and the Realtek card.
I'm not absolutely sure it is the board that makes these problems, but I can't think of any other source for this problem anymore.

Possible to swap MDD FW400 for FW800 logic board?

Hello all,
I'd thought I would ask this question because I have been thinking about this. Currently, have a dual 1.25 2003 model(not earlier MDD!) MDD G4 with the 2MB L3 per processor.
I just received today my airport extreme USB netgear device and I must say plugged into the USB 2.0 5-port card I have it is even faster than the Belkin PCI F5D7000 card! But, my question is concerning something else.
FW800 logic board - is it really worth it for me to swap current FW400 board with the FW800 board? 2ndly, can I use my existing MDD case or do I have to find another case? My power supply is a 360w power supply. I am not sure if it is a quieter one or not. The date on my power mac G4 2003 says: copyright June 2003(or was it July?) Apple computer. - Does this entail that the FW800 machines came out the same time as mine did? Again, I don't have the original MDD(867,1gh,1.25), I have the last dual bootable OS 9.2.2 MDD machine from 2003.
Also, is the airport extreme card going to produce faster results that the netgear WG111V2.0 USB device I currently have plugged into my USB 2.0 pci card? One thing I did notice is that I can no longer put my computer into hibernation or deep sleep, since I now have the USB 2.0 netgear wireless device attached.
Can anyone confirm if there is a way around for the sleep/hibernate function to work even with the USB 2.0 device plugged in? I also removed the Belkin wireless PCI card(FD57000). Before the USB 2.0 device, my computer would goto sleep and hibernate normally.
Thanks!

*9.x and Internet*: shouldn't be a problem with Ethernet. Forget which control panels you'll need to play with TCP/IP, Network? So if you want faster Internet with the MDD in 9.x, go with Ethernet -- the regular Airport card will work in 9.x by the way. That's the reason why for faster wireless, I'm going to buy the new Airport Express (with wireless -n), and connect via WDS to my Airport Extreme -- the MDD will connect to the Express via Ethernet which should be fine in both 9.x and OS X.
I did this once before my the original Airport Express (wireless -g) and an old Linksys all-in-one that supported WDS. But the Linksys blew its ethernet ports, so I replaced it with a newer model that doesn't support WDS.
*Copper heatsink* should fit any MDD CPU card, I've tried mine on both a Dual 867 and 1.25GHz cards, although I'm using a Verax cooler on the 1.25GHz Dual. The copper contact plate while narrow (about 1.5 cm) is a long piece, so it would contact both single and dual CPUs. As for the 1.25GHz dual in particular, see here.
Just a tip, use some good thermal compound, like Artic Silver. You'll need to clean off the old compound on your CPUs. I used Articlean (also made by Artic silver), works great. They sell a kit with both cleaner and purifier (preparation compound for the thermal compounds).
*Dual 1.25 2003*. I think the best way may be to check the model number. According to everymac.com, it should be M9145LL/A. I'm sure the info's also on Apple's site somewhere. The last 2003 1.25Ghz have 2MB L3 cache, which is easy enough to see in say System Profiler. If you're seeing 2MB L3, then you know you've got the CPU from the last 2003 model. As for the motherboard, you'd probably have to check the assembly number under the modem to insure a 2003 motherboard, but I don't think that matters as much as the CPU.
The CPU cards from MDDs and G4 XServes are pretty much interchangable --setting aside the issue of 133MHz and 167Mhz front side buses, which could overclock or underclock depending on CPU card & motherboard combination. And reading around there's an incompatibility with certain MDD Dual 1.0GHz on certain motherboards.
You could put an early 1.25GHz dual with only 1MB L3 on a 2003 MDD motherboard; for that matter you could stick a 1.42GHz dual from a FW800 MDD on your 2003 MDD motherboard, which some people have done. I guess if you're seeing Dual 1.25GHz w/1MB L3 advertised as the last 2003 MDDs, then people might not know what they're talking about, or may have replaced the CPU. The 1MB L3 versions cost less.
FW800, indeed if you want it, you can always add a card later. Since the MDDs don't have USB2, for that you'll need a card as I think you've already done. But there's always a worry of eating the slots. While rare, there are some combo USB2/FW800 cards. Problem with a combo cards over separate cards is that there's usually a performance hit on the FW side. A friend of mine has one that suffers from this -- like 7-10MB/sec hit. I recently bought a Siig combo FW800/USB2 and there's not nearly the performance hit; FW800 is only a few ticks less in MB/sec compared to my FW800 only card. In my DA, I didn't see any deep sleep issues with the Siig card, but every Mac is different. I've haven't tested it in a MDD, yet.
I'm working on getting two MDDs working (long story), so I have my hands full. Can't say I love the MDDs yet, but I certainly been bit by the tinkering/upgrading bug. So I'm have fun getting my two MDDs together that are both very close to being ready -- I need to stress test them before moving over my HDs/data, cards, etc.

Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card (again)

Reposting as previous topic has been locked although has not been resolved. Original post below, please see previous post for more details

(Running Win2K Professional)

More info : I have found that this is time related rather than related to the number of reboots. It always fails on the first reboot after being shut down for a period of time. At this point, however long I wait the connection never comes up. However, if I wait a few minutes and then reboot, the second reboot will always successfully establish the connection.
On this basis, the problem has become slightly less annoying as I have a workaround - boot once, wait a few minutes and reboot. That being said, any information on how I can isolate this further (e.g. tracing what is running at startup) would be gratefully recieved.

How can I acquire data in a PCI DAQ board using a SCXI rack?

Hello.
I have an acquisition system that consists in:
· 3 PCI DAQ boards:
- PCI-MIO-16-E-1
- PCI-6052-E
- PCI-6034-E
· 3 cables to connect PCI boards and SCXI modules
· 1 SCXI chassis:
- SCXI-1001
· SCXI modules + terminal blocks:
- 4x SCXI_1121 + SCXI_1320 (for voltage analog inputs)
- 1x SCXI_1520 + SCXI_1314 (for strain gauges)
- 1x SCXI_1530 (for accelerometers)
I have been trying to acquire different signals (specially voltage signals that are easier to reproduce) but I haven't been able to do it. I can't read anything from MAX or LabView. I have tested the PCI boards with a SCB68 terminal block (without any SCXI component) and they work properly. Problems appear when I use the SCXI chassis and the SCXI modules. I don't know if there is a problem with the hardware or it is a wrong configuration.
I guess channels in the SCXI modules correspond to analog input channels in the PCI board they are connected to, but I don't know if I have to read data from analog input channels of the PCI boards or from SCXI channels that appear in MAX (I have tried both posibilities, but they don't seem to work).
I don't know if I have to use Differential, RSE or NRSE configuration. I have tried all of them. Sometimes I only read noise, sometimes signal is fixed in a limit value (maximum or minimum, it depends), sometimes it's fixed in a value near zero,... I have changed connections and configuration options so many times I can't exactly say when one thing or another happens.
I have tested only one PCI board with only a SCXI module in order to avoid interaction and confusion. Nothing.
I think I have tried changing almost every option in MAX, but it doesn't work.
I'm sure I'm missing something and solution is quite simple, but I can't find it.
Can anybody explain to me how to connect and configure my system to read any signal? I only need a few steps or highlights. Maybe some clues about what the problem can be.
Thanks!

I have several comments and suggestions:
A) Have you "added a device" in MAX and actually added the SCXI chassis? This step is necessary to get the chassis to work. Click on "add a device" and choose the 1001 chassis . Do this for one DAQ card and one module only initially. The Set Up wizard should walk you through the configuration. If you are unable to add a chassis within MAX, I suspect the chassis is not working correctly.
B) Once configured, you can examine the SCXI channels in MAX as follows:
1) Open the DAQ card in MAX and Open the Test Panels
2) For the SCXI channel to view, use the following convention OB0!sc(n)!md(m)!ch where the letter (n) corresponds to the chassis number in MAX (usually = 1), the letter (m) corresponds to the module number (slot) where the module is located in the chassis, and (ch) represents the channel(or channels) you wish to view. So presuming chassis ID=1, and a module in slot 1, and you wish to view channel 3, you would type the following in the channel field for the DAQ card channel to view:
OB0!sc1!md1!3 (note OB0!sc1!md1!3:6 will display channels 3 through 6)
All of the SCXI channels for a given DAQ card are multiplexed through channel 0 of the DAQ card, Channels 1 and up are not used, hence the initial three characters in the SCXI call refer to "On-Board Channel 0 (OB0)"
C) For the subsequent set up, it will be necessary to first add the additional modules to the chassis (when powered off). Then open MAX and update the chassis. (If you get an error then simply delete the chassis reference in MAX and add a new chassis). You will then be required to set the interface mode of each module as either parallel or multiplexed. In parallel mode, you associate a distinct module with a distinct DAQ card in the host PC. For those DAQ cards that will address multiple modules, you must first configure the modules to be in adjacent slots in the chassis and then assign the first module to the cabled DAQ card - then all of the modules assigned to that DAQ card should be configured in "multiplexed" mode.
D) Once the chassis has been properly configured, you can click on each module and set the gains, filters, and terminal block types.
I hope that this helps to get you started.

Is my PCI 6071E board damaged?

Hello,
I have a PCI 6071E board that has been working succesfuly until yesterday. I was working with the digital I/O lines (to generate three control signals that were connected to three operational amplifiers, as buffers), and suddenly, from one trial to another, the board stopped working. Some digital I/O lines remain at 2 volts (with some oscillation), with no response to my user program (in MATLAB). Other lines were at 0 volts. I tried to operate with the analog input and output, but no response was given. After that, I run the test panel in the Measurement & Automation Explorer, but it shows the error message: "The device is not responding to the first IRQ level". Is my DAQ board completely damaged?
Thank you very much.

Greetings,
It does sound like your board may be in need of repair. There are a couple more troubleshooting activities I would suggest.
First, you should try installing the board in another computer and see if MAX gives you the same error. If this error is not present, you can then test the functionality of your board with the Online E Series Diagnostic Utility. Below is a link to this utility:
Online E Series Diagnostic Utility
If these activites also indicate that your board is damaged, you can arrange for its repair by creating a phone support request at the following location:

[Solved For Now] Wireless Not Working on HP Pavillion 15-n278sa

EDIT: I seem to have fixed it for now by following this tutorial, I don't know how long it will last though: http://askubuntu.com/questions/337785/w … -c55-a5281
Hi there guys,
I have been having some problems with my Wireless under arch on my lapotop, which is a HP Pavillion 15-n278sa. I've had the wireless working twice before, but a reboot broke it both times. The Ethernet works perfectly fine. The first time I have no idea how I got it to work, it was a combination of a bunch of different threads and eventually I modprobed the wireless adapter and it worked (this no longer works).
This is the output of when I try to connect to the wireless using wifi-menu:
Job for [email protected] failed. See 'systemctl status [email protected]' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
So I run systemctl status [email protected] and journalctl -xn and this is the output of the both respectively:

03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [10ec:8136] (rev 07)
This one being the wireless controller:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8179] (rev 01)
If there is anything more I can provide I would happily do it, I really need the wireless to work under this laptop. I know it works, I have had it working under Arch and it works under Ubuntu no problem. I am not sure if it is a driver problem, or if it's a problem with netctl. It looks more like a problem with netctl as after netctl updated it started working, and after a reboot it broke again.
Thanks so very much everyone,

Netgear PCI Wireless Card in a Power Mac G4

I have a Netgear PCI Wireless Card MA311 and I'm trying to make it work in my Power Mac G4. Does anyone know of any drivers I can use or any way I can get online with it? An alternate option is the Linksys Wireless-B USB adapter (ver.2.8) that I have around here somewhere.

Generally speaking, if you are planning on buying a PCI wireless card, do make sure that it is Mac compatible. Mac drivers for such cards or for USB wireless adapters can often be difficult or impossible to find.
Another option could be a wireless Ethernet bridge (also known as a gaming adapter) connected to the Ethernet port. These devices (examples include Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N and Netgear WGE111) do not normally require special driver software, and can be used under almost any operating system. WPA security may or may not be supported for a certain unit, so study the specifications (a firmware update can solve this in some cases).
