Pascal Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 No, unfortunately my problem is not resolved, I still have no wifi - the triangle always empty, even when I try to activate it manually in Network Preferences. Another idea? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Leon Posted October 30, 2011 Administrators Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hi, Try when you have installed 10.6.8 to replace the IONetworkingFamily.kext from 10.6.7 in /System/Library/Extentions You can download it from here: http://team.osxlatitude.com/kexts/10.6.7/IONetworkingFamily.kext.zip And you use kexthelper to install it: http://team.osxlatitude.com/tools/Kext-Helper-b7.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I have already made ​​this change file this week but without success, but I think I also changed other files at the same time, I tried again with only that file to see. Unfortunately for my tests, my wife needs a laptop today and I put the 10.6.7 using Time Machine. I would put myself tonight (or last night) and I'll keep you informed of the results. A big thank you for your help. Good Sunday. Pascal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiebill Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Maybe De-activate the wifi switch in bios, taking it out of the equation. Then use that system-info app (third party app) to see if a kext is being loaded. I had major issues with wifi not even showing up on menu...till I got the right kext. I ended up putting it in my extra folder. It was the broadcom 43xx family kext i think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
