If you can get ahold of the AppleAirPort2.kext (and the associated software), you can get a Linksys WPC54G inserted into the cardbus slot to be your Airport Extreme card.
You must edit the AppleAirPort2.kext/Contents/Info.plist file a bit.
You need to copy the <dict> section that talks about the pci device and modify the copy to give it a unique name and a device name of pci1737,4320.
Here is a patch that does the right thing, and here is the final result.
Of course, if this doesn't work for you, or if it damages your machine or anything else, then you were a damn fool to listen to me.
Posted by nsayer at January 25, 2003 07:14 PMHELP! I bought a wpc54g for my G3/500, PowerBook, Pismo Edition, but it seems like the 'book just dosen't see the card.
I dowloaded drivers for orange and io experts, as well as the script from this site, but I don't think any work.
I stil don't see the card. It behaves as if it were an airport card, but I can not communicate with my Accesspoint at all.
Can anyone give me instructions on how to do this?
I don't know how to navegate around os x very well.
So you know the setup:
•1 LinkSys Wirelless Access Point/Router (Cable Access to the Web)
•2 PC hardwired to it
•1 PowerBook/500Mhz Pismo edition running Panther
•1 LinkSys WPC54g
Thanks in advance!
