Airport Under MacOS X

Sky O'Mara sent ResExcellence these instructions to get your Airport card working under MacOS X.


  • Make a folder called "AirPort.kext" (no quotes)

  • Put that folder in the System->Library->Extensions folder of your MacOS X drive.

  • Make a PLAIN TEXT file containing the followng text.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM
"file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="0.9">
<dict>
<key>Date</key>
<string>March 17, 2000</string>
<key>Name</key>
<string>com.apple.AirPort</string>
<key>Personality</key>
<dict>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>AirPortDriver</string>
<key>IONameMatch</key>
<array>
<string>radio</string>
</array>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>AppleMacIODevice</string>
<key>Name</key>
<string>AppleAirPort</string>
</dict>
<key>Vendor</key>
<string>Apple Computer, Inc.</string>
<key>Version</key>
<string>0.1</string>
</dict>
</plist>
  • Save that file as PLAIN TEXT with the name "Info-macos.xml" (no quotes) in the AirPort.kext folder.

  • Restart into MacOS X and go to the "Network" pane of the System prefs.

  • You should see an "Ethernet card port 1" (this is the Airport) and a "built-in ethernet port".

  • Set the built-in ethernet port to "no connection" from the "configure" pull-down menu (You may need to click the lock in the lower left hand corner of the window to make changes).



  • Go to the ethernet card port 1 and confugure it for your Airport network.


  • Click on the "dns" tab up at the top and configure that for your system.

  • Click apply and restart and you should have Airport Networking!
