You will get this error when installing certain software down the line. Many thanks goes out to iDeneb people, aqua-mac for the 9000 series package, NVDarwin pepole, and those of you who posted the steps above.
I wasted 2 days trying to do this originally using my old 10.5.1 to 10.5.5 upgrade and doing MBP kext tranfer, the ist modifying using gfxutil & osx86 tools, etc.
fresh install iDeneb 10.5.5 v1.3 (no graphics driver selected) Yay!! Finally got mine working with QE/CI.ġ. This is a static dump of the wiki, taken after locking it in January 2015. See for more information.ĭue to security issues, the bugzilla instance was disabled. If you need to use the current driver on an older kernel, you can use the compat-drivers project for that.

Iwlwifi-fixes with fixes for the current kernel release cycle Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time. There are three repositories that we maintain:
The patch will be backported by the stable kernel team, but they seem to have a big delay. Note about 23.214.9.0 firmware for 7260 / 3160 / 7265 devicesįirmware 23.214.9.0 can run on 3.14 and even on 3.13, but for this, the kernel need to be patched. Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150, You can get the firmware from linux-firmware.git, or download it here: You can typically find this location by looking in the udev scripts of your distro, the default on most distributions is /lib/firmware.
Where that appropriate location is depends (again) on your system distribution. Once you have the firmware loader in place (or if you aren't sure and you just want to try things to see if it works), you need to install the firmware file into the appropriate location. The steps for installing and configuring this are very distribution specific and the tools differ, but distributions have this enabled. In addition to having the firmware_class support in your kernel, you must also have a working userspace infrastructure configured. You can determine if your kernel currently has firmware loader support by looking for the CONFIG_FW_LOADER definition on your kernel's. When you configure the kernel, you can find this option in the following location: In order to function correctly the driver requires this to be enabled in your kernel. More information can be found under in the Documentation/firmware_class/README file in the kernel source. The driver loads the firmware using the kernel's firmware_class infrastructure. If that doesn't work, or you need newer firmware, read on. Note that many distributions ship the firmware, you could install the "linux-firmware" package or similar. As far as I can tell there's a driver installed and working for the card, but I can't connect to any networks because I can't make the nm-applet appear in the notification area. My setup is Acer 5735 laptop (圆4) with Intel 5100 wifi card. Click Download Now, to download the file.
Our archive contains Windows 8 drivers that support this device. The firmware necessary to support the devices is distributed separately under the firmware license. It appears I'm not alone in having problems with nm-applet, and thus with wifi in Mint 13 MATE. It is a software utility that will find the right driver for you - automatically.
