seb3 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 So I just managed to install Lion. With 10.7.0 wifi works flawlessly, but once I had updated to 10.7.4 wifi suddenly disappeared. How can I get it back? Do I need to rebrand the card as a Airport Extreme for it to work again? The card is ` Dell 1390. Thanks, Seb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seb3 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Just managed to get it to work. I found out that when updating past 10.7.3 (i was updating to 10.7.4) the IO80211Family.kext gets modified/ deleted in my case. I had to get a original version of the kext and install it and the wifi works flawlessly again. What are the benfits of rebranding the Wifi card anyway?

JawhnL5 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I don't really think there are perks to rebranding your Wi-Fi, except for it to show as Airport Extreme and not 3rd party Airport http://www.osxlatitude.com/rebranding-broadcom-802-11abgn-cards-as-airport-extreme/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
