hmm have you tried something like this ? http://netkas.org/?p=279

I have, although it wasn't necessary. I went in to edit it but since it's an actual airport card its ID was already in the file. The kext loads on boot and everything, it just doesn't show in networks connections or ifconfig or anywhere.

Hi,

 

Most likely because apple have dropped support for it in Lion... or the combination between the card ID and your machine ID dosent work.

 

Just get a broadcom, look at the wiki under the re-branding section.. all of those works with OSX SL/Lion.

Thanks I tried putting the SL wireless kext in in its place, that didn't help. Is it missing from SL as well, or only there in 32 bit? I just so conveniently already have this card, it seems a shame to have to get another.

I put OS X on my D830, and obviously the Intel Wireless didn't work. Anyhow, I put in the Airport card from an old Macbook, it's an Atheros 5008 and it works just fine in Windows and Linux, but wont show up in Lion for some reason, any ideas as to why?

try this same issue but resolved.... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/897-d830-nvidia-black-screen-after-update/page__p__6184__fromsearch__1#entry6184

That fixed it, thanks a bunch! Now if only my compatible wifi card would hurry up and get here.

Aww, most disappointing reply ever.

I installed Lion on my D830, everything was great, upgraded to 10.7.2, everything still fine. A couple of reboots later though and I no longer get video. I can see the OSX Latitude logo and the spinning circle, but once I get past that it's just a black screen, no backlight no video. I can ping the machine over the network, and if I type my password and hit enter it logs in and I can hear any programs I had running before opening, but I never get video. This is with a nVidia Quadro 140 NVS card, which used to be recognized just fine as a 8400m. Am I missing something terribly obvious, or is something more nefarious going on here?

Thanks,
