Reinstalling Airport drivers

Hi -
I have a regular BootX boot time kernal panic which i have traced to the attempt to load AirPort Exteme drivers in 10.4.2. What is odd is that after a reboot (or cold boot), I get a KP, have to restart, and my PB is then fine. In other words it only fails every other boot, like clockwork. Booting Commmand-V shows the panic occurs in loading Airport driver.
So I would like to remove and reinstall the drivers. Can anyone advise 1) where I can get the latest drivers/kext files and 2) what I need to do to reinstall?
Many thx.

The latest drivers are provided by Airport 4.2:

If installing Airport 4.2 fails to solve the problem (which is highly likely), I suspect that only an archive and reinstall of MacOS 10.4 will be necessary to solved your problem.

  • Pavilion dv9812us - Windows XP reinstall / nForce drivers won't install

    I had a funky virus on my Pavilion so I decided I would format and reinstall XP (my computer came with Vista but I'm not really a fan). I see an nVidia splashscreen come and go and then the installshield wizard comes up and loads the installation files... and then disappears. As far as I can tell, the installer crashes every single time I load it. I also tried downloading the unified drivers from nVidia's website, and the same thing happened. So my question is, how can I get these drivers to work? I really need to get my computer working because it is an integral part of my job... so double thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me on this.

    OK, I booted into safe mode, removed the old VIA drivers from the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder, and then saw that the nForce2 drivers from a previous install were in Add & Remove Programs.  I believe that to be my entire problem.  So I uninstalled all NVIDIA drivers.  Rebooted into Safe Mode.  Installed all the 5.10 drivers with success, excluding the sound driver cuz I don't need it.  Rebooted.  Windows hangs during loading screen.  Reset, then I hit F8 and choose Last Known Good Configuration.  Remove all NVIDIA drivers again.  Reboot into Safe Mode.  Install one driver at a time and reboot inbetween.  System hangs because of the IDE driver.  So, choose Last Known Good Configuration again, uninstall all NVIDIA drivers, reboot to Safe Mode, reinstall all drivers but IDE, then boot Windows normally.  Needed to install display driver, as I have a NVIDIA card.  Did that, disabled nwiz and NvMcTray in msconfig as I always do.  Reboot.  My SYSTEM registry hive is corrupted.  So after wiping Linux (which I never use anyway cuz my modem is not Linux compatible) off my other drive and installing Windows and the Internet on it, I found out how to take the registry from a previous Restore Point and copy it to the config folder.  Did that, booted to that drive, had to uninstall and reinstall all NVIDIA drivers again, but it works now.  I don't have tons of System devices like you Fredrik, but I do have 3 Motherboard resources, which is weird.  Whatever.  Thanks for all your help, guys

  • I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers..

    I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers.  It used to print in color and just stopped.  I think it may be a settings issue?  I have checked the ink levels and they are all fine. When I print a diagnostic report on print qualify, the black prints well, but there is no color printing.

    Okay, I had the same problem. It's most likely your printhead. All you have to due is clean it.
    Note: I was sceptical of this approach but can fully attest to it's sound results as it restored my printer back to full functionality. Prior to this the printer only would print Black ink.
    The print head is the carriage that holds all of your ink cartridges in the printer. On the 6500A it's super easy to remove. Opent your lid like your changing your ink cartridges. Remove all of your ink cartridges. Once they're out. There is a lever on the left side of the carrier that holdes your ink cartridges. Lift it up and the print head comes right out. Net take your print head to the sink and run it under hot water aiming towards the the four cirles were the ink flows into. Keep running it under the hot water until it is coming out clear. It's okay to run it under the bottom part too infact you'll need to inorder to get it completely rinsed out. Also don't touch the computer metal strips with your hand thought you can run water over them. Once your done rinsing use a blow dryer or a can of compressed air (thats what I did) to dry every thing out. I was able to get everything dry in about 5 minutes or so. Let it sit for a few minutes and check it again for water. I recommend moving it around to get full exposure to insure it is dry. Also if you use a hair dryer try to put it on a cold setting since there ar rubber grommets the surrount the inlet ink ports you wouldn't want to melt them with the hot air etc.. Like I said I used a can of compressed air.  It's important to use a quick method of drying as mentioned otherwise mineral particles could become deposited on the unit. This won't happen with the methods as I've described because the molecules won't be able to bond since your blowint them off. Oh yeah, you'll want to place a clean peice of paper down as your blowing because at first you'll end up with a few black jet marks as your blowing. Also don't wear your favorite white shirt lol. 
    Okay once it's dry replace the print head carriage back in push the lever down install the ink cartridges. Close the lid then unplug the printer. Wait 5 seconds plug it back in then it will reboot and start its set up procedure kind of like whet you first bought the printer except you won't have to change any of your network or setup setting since they are saved in memory. Also be patient about the set up procedure it seemed very slow for me. Once it finishes you will be prompted to run the printer alignment process. Run the alignment process and you should be all good. If not at least you gave it a shot. If this doesn't work your going to have to pay $60 for a new printer head. Which is not that big of a deal but hey if you can fix it for free why not. If you do decide to buy a new printer head you might find deals online or ebay just make sure it's an Genuine HP print head. And lol use the Genuine HP ink cartridges. Finally make sure you print at least on colored page per month to make sure the ink doesn't clog up in the future.
    Remember this suggestion is after you have run the HP clean ink cartridge procedure twice. Sometimes the clean procedure will correct the problem first. Also there is video I watched on YouTube about this just search for "Clean HP 6500 print head. Hope that helps
    Once it's all dry just reinstall the printer head carriage

  • How can I reinstall Bluetooth drivers after loading windows 7 64 bit version on my 2010 iMac?

    I have just uninstalled windows 7 32 bit version which I have been using for ages and upgraded to the 64 bit version. I did this from the windows partition in my bootcamp divided hard drive. I then reinstalled the drivers using the application DVD which came with my machine but the Bluetooth driver is missing. One thought I have is whether I would be able to use the driver DVD which came with my 2011 MacBook Air (which has been running fine on windows 64bit version since I bought it)
    Would this work or any other ideas?

    My Macbook Pro will not print anything from any program. I've reinstalled the drivers. I get an error message in Word that says, "Word could not communicate with printer." Any ideas?

    Be sure to try restarting, if you have not done so since this problem occurred.  You should also power off the printer while you do the restart...
    If that does not help, you can try resetting the printing system.  Open System Preferences Print & Scan (or Print & Fax) pane.  In the sidebar with list of printers, right (control) click anywhere.  Select Reset printing system.  You will have to add back your printers after you do this.

  • Vista Airport Drivers - Causing Vista Slowdown

    Hiya,
    Dont know if this is the right place really, but I have started to play around with Vista on my 20¨ Imac Dual-Core2.
    Everything runs excellent and I get a very respectable 4.5 Experience rating - BUT, the system slows down every 60 seconds or so just for a few seconds.
    After doing some research, I've narrowed the problem down to the wireless Airport drivers - in the iMac, the Airport card is listed as a Broadcom 802.11n.
    I cannot find any working drivers at the moment though - has anybody else experienced this and any ideas of a fix please?
    Thanks, Paul.

    Thank you for your fast response. What you have said is indeed correct too. Thank you for pointing out the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer card said for XP on the box. You are Creative, you are a massi've company. Your excuses don't wash. The problem us consumers have , and I'm sure I speak on behalf of most of your?valuable customers who have migrated to Vista/Vista?64 is the computer industry being?apparently unable?to provide 00% working drivers and applications for?the new operating system from Microsoft at the time of it's launch?The truth is, the launch of Vista/Vista 64 has been a disaster for the everyday PC consumer?(vista 64 in particular) because not even the 'major?players' have provided the level of driver support their customers quite rightfully expect from them. It is a shambles. Whether that is Microsofts fault or the others?like you?not deli'vering?I don't know. What I do know is I am fed up with it all.
    Ok, I have already had to ditch a TV Tuner card that no longer works with Vista 64 (no driver support!) and I'm disappointed,?but we are talking about a very small company here. Creative should be ashamed of themselves to not have 00% working drivers and applications ready at the time of the Vista launch. Not just Creative, but all the 'major companies' out there (who I guess I can't mention here right) should be really and truly ashamed of themselves at how they have treated customers. It is an awful situation right now. I am a PC enthusiast and I love playing games. I pump a lot of my own money into the computer industry. Right now I feel abandoned and fed up (no I'm not going over the top) by Microsoft and the computer industry.
    This experience could put computer enthusiasts off?for good because this is diabolical, unacceptable and is?not good for your business or anyone else in the computer industry. Now then, let me think,? WII, PS3, XBOX360 (yes prior to Vista, no after it). Life doesn't have to be this complicated does it.

  • How can I reinstall Airport software?

    Hello,
    I am trying te reinstall Airport as nothing worked anymore and I had to reinstall Leopard. After inserting the Airport cd-rom the message comes that all the files are up-to date and that I can't reinstall. How can I override this message? Pressing the C-button does not not work. Additional problem: all the Airport files under Utilities are gone. Thanks for your help, Peter

    Peter, Welcome to the discussion area!
    When you reinstalled Leopard you also reinstalled all the latest AirPort software. You will find it in the /Applications/Utilities directory.

  • Airport Drivers

    I wnat to configure my 15" Powerbook G4 Titanium (400MHz, pre gigibit, OS 10.3.2) so that I can use wireless networking. After unsuccessfully trying a Belkin card, I just ordered a Sonnet Aria Extreme. The manufacturer's web site indicated I need Airport Drivers vesion 3.1 or later. How do I determine what version drivers are installed on my computer. If they are not the correct version, where can I find the right ones?

    I notice you're running 10.4.2. The latest Mac OS X version is 10.4.6, and these incremental updates include AirPort Extreme updates. Therefore keeping on top of them ensures your AirPort Extreme drivers will be current.

  • How to reinstall Airport?

    So lately my Macbook Pro has been having problems connecting to the internet. It kept saying the Airport was off (even though I never turned it off).
    I would go into my Network preferences and click the "Turn airport on" button, but nothing would happen. I googled how to turn the airport on, and found a page that told me to select it in the left column of my network settings, delete it (by clicking the "-" button), restart my computer, and then re add my airport by clicking the "+" button. I did this last night and it worked perfectly.
    I tried doing it again this morning as I was having the same problem, and now when I click the "+" button, it only gives me the option to add FireWire, Ethernet, or Bluetooth DUN.
    I'm not sure what has changed since last night, but I really need help to get my airport back! I tried going into my airport utility, but it won't do anything since I'm not connected to the internet.
    Please help!!
    Thank you in advance!

    Reinstall 10.6.8 by using the combo update.  Repair permissions and restart your computer when done.  You should now be able to add Airport. 

  • Error message "The system cannot find the file specified." when reinstalling C3180 drivers

    Hello,
    I experienced scanning problems with my C3180 and the error message indicated several solutions, including to reinstall the driver.
    I worked my way through the list of fixes to this option.  I uninstalled the drivers, downloaded
    File name:
    AIO_CDA_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe [1/1, 290.27M]
    from www.hp.com/support and attempted to install.
    Just after the accept licensing screen, the system begins a screen with four steps, the first of which is Checking System.  Shortly after starting this, I receive the error message "The system cannot find the file specified.".  The file name may be in the message header, but I cannot determine it due to the path length.  It is off the displayed screen.  (see screen image capture)
    Closing the pop-up error message or clicking OK terminates the installation.
    I am re-installing on a Dell Latitude E6510, running Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1, 64 bit.  The printer was connected via USB, but I have disconnected for this stage of the install.
    I appreciate any assistance/advice you can offer.

  • Windows 7 Reinstall - USB Drivers

    Hi there,
    I have searched high and low on the internet for this, and have browsed through other HP forum solutions, but none fit my problem.
    I recently had to reinstall my notebook, and used the Windows 7 (Home Premium) recovery discs I created when first getting the machine.
    The windows installation has gone fine, and everything has gone fine, except, I constantly get the below message in the lower right hand corner of the screen:
    USB Device Not Recognized.
    One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
    Needless to say, that none of the USB ports work. When I click on the above message, I just see a screen to say the USB device is not recognised. If I go into Device manager and try to see any hardward definition of the unrecognized ports, I just see that it is a generic USB port. When trying to update the driver, I am told that the most suitable driver is already in place.
    I am guessing that I need the drivers from HP for my specific configuration. If I go into system information and advanced (fn+Esc), I see that under components and problem devices, I have three 'unknown devices', and these (all have an error code of 43) are:
    USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\6&BE8B923&0&6
    USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\6&BE8B923&0&7
    USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\6&BE8B923&0&8
    If clicking the 'USB' node on within system information, I see that the controllers are:
    Intel 5 Series/3400 USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3B34
    Intel 5 Series/3400 USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3B3C
    Is there anyone that can please assist me ?
    thank you

  • I need to reinstall system drivers but have no trackpad/keyboard to do so!!

    i have a MacBook Pro and am using mac osx 10.5.4 and win xp pro with sp3
    basically, i installed parallels and had problems accessing the internet via win xp (in bootcamp mode)
    so i ended up uninstalling all drivers for window to rediscover the system hardware and hopefully help get access working - i have done this many times on pc's (especially just reinstalling the network adapters). i didn't realise that apple installs the drivers for the trackpad and keyboard as thought they are usb connected devices and so when i rebooted win xp again it started installing the driver for the intel cpu first of all - it got to the "continue anyway" window when it doesn't recognise the certificate but i had no mouse or keyboard to click to go ahead. the thing that messed it all up is uninstalling the usb port drivers. win xp is not choosing to reinstall them first of all and even if it did it might require me to give input.
    so i am wondering if i can manually copy the drivers to the right place on the bootcamp drive by copying them through my mac desktop (i have access to the drive using paragon ntfs software) or can i edit a file to fool win xp into thinking the drivers are already reinstalled or so that it installs them fully unattended????
    i desperately want to get control of my bootcamp install again because i have painstakingly installed tons of my games, securified the system and configured it alot and really am reluctant to reinstall fresh again
    PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A WORK AROUND!?????
    thanks in advance guys!
    Steve

    is there anyone who can actually help me with this problem!!!!????? Apple, can you???????
    is there a way of editing the hardware profiles manually? is the information saved in a file, etc?

  • HT1338 built in camera has stopped working, how can I update or reinstall the drivers

    Built in camera has stopped working, how can I reinstall the respective drivers?

    Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem, Stephen:
    •  If you have not already done so, shut down Mac, restart,
        and try again.  If the camera still does not work, continue.
    • Try ALL relevant suggestions from Apple's Troubleshooting
       article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
       If you need to use the "reset" suggestion, use the correct reset for your Mac.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the latest Combo Update.  For your Mac OS,
       the current version is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.
    Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.
    • If nothing else resolves your problem, yours is likely a hardware issue.
       Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
    Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

  • How to uninstall and reinstall network drivers on a Samsung 580?

    Hi. During the summer, I got a new laptop. It was all fine and dandy when I was at home, using a dial up connection, but when I went to school, I immediately had problems. Neither the cable connection nor the wireless worked. I've got the wireless to work (only the IPV4 connectivity though, IPV6 does not have connectivity), but cable still isn't workinng. I know it's not the cable cord or jack in the wall because I'm typing this from my old laptop. I made a  thread on the Windows 7 forum here that provides a further detailed report of the issue as well as some diagnostic stuff (the ipconfig/all thing and whatnot).
    I'm thinking maybe the problem will fix itself if I reinstall the driver - since I might have monkeyed around with something and made it worse.
    I'm asking how to do that. The driver is a Marvell Yukon 88E8059 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller and I have a samsung 580. I made backup discs when I first got the computer and I just want to remove and add one driver. If that doesn't work, then I guess I'll have to do a clean wipe (again, steps please?) unless anyone can offer any further advice.

    The information asked for above would really help. Since you don't have a copy of just the network chipset/card driver, please go to the manufactuer's website and download the driver manually. This will overwrite the old driver. However, again, it doesn't sound like this is the problem - still, having the most current drivers is always advisable.
