Field Note #4 @nerdyperdy 2010-08-01

I don't know if this is fixed or not, but the realtek kext works for me...you don't get the network icon but I can connect and surf thru the realtex crab icon thingy.

fixing to try the voodoo hda now.

Toshiba RTL8187B Issue...continued

Yes, I have a similar problem. I installed iATKOS 10.6.3 S3 V2 on my Toshiba A205-S5803 and have everything functioning properly except my wireless card (rtl8187b). The iATKOS installation gives one the option of installing the rtl8187b driver and installs the realtek wireless utility as an application so I edited the info.plist file and changed the value of "33161" to "33175" as many people are suggesting and I have no success. I have tried re-installing the Kext but it only crashed my computer by popping up that gray square that says "you must restart your computer...hold down the power button..."
