Broadcom Wireless Issue iPC 10.5.6 ThinkPad T40
I have an IBM ThinkPad T40 with an aftermarket 802.11 b/g Mini pci card from an HP notebook. It uses the Broadcom BCM94306 chipset. I believe its PCI ID is 4324. I have added the Broamcom kext included int he install customizations that adds all the proper strings to the IO80211Family.kext with no luck. I have tried taping over pins 11 and 13 as suggest in another thread to keep the card always on. I am at a loss as to what to try next as everything I have read shows that this card should work just fine. I have applied the no-1802 fix to allow the IBM to boot with a non accepted card installed. The card was working when pulled from another laptop (Dell Insp 8600). On the T40 under OSX, there are no signs of a card being installed in system profiler or under the network preference pane. The wireless card is enabled in the bios.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
