Up and Working

Recently, I bought a WLAN (Wireless Lan) for laptop since I’ve known that my current WLAN isn’t working on Mac OS X and so got to buy new one. Basically the new WLAN arrived earlier than the expected date, which is supposed to be next week. But yesterday, it just arrived.

There have been a few steps before I install it on my laptop since I need to know the hardware information so as to work on both operating system installed on my laptop, Windows Vista and Mac OS X. After few minutes of searching around google, I found out that this card is working natively (don’t need a third party driver) that will work upon completion of installation.

And so I opened up my laptop removing all warranty stickers from Acer and Octagon (whew!), and opened up the cover and so I saw the atheros wlan attached to the PCI-E port of my laptop and so I’ve pulled out the switch connector and placed it on to my new WLAN which is Broadcom 4311. And so plugged it in, and install Mac OS X (iAtkos 10.5.4) and horay! after installation I saw some prompt if I would like to connect to net since I’m using wireless router here at home, and yup its all up and working.
