Thinkpads Forum

Update!
look for something like this in the file
<array>
<string>pci106b,0086</string>
<string>pci106b,1c</string>

for my thinkpad the "<string>pci168c,1014</string>" works.
For a list of possibilities goto:

Good Luck


I have a T-60 with OSX 10.4.8[JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso and the IBM Atheros wifi card in it.
I followed the or these instructions on the list and have had no luck

Editing plist:
cd /System/Library/Extensions

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros5424.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Add in .plist:
<string>pci168c,1014</string>

Setting Permissions:
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

I am thinking that I am putting "<string>pci168c,1014</string>"
in the wrong place in that file. There are many things in that file and there seems to be an order consisting of "key" and then on the next line "<string>" Where does "<string>pci168c,1014</string>" go exactly? Also what does it mean "pci168c,1014" I'm guessing pci is pci, but what are the numbers telling me?
Thank You very much for your help on this.
