Sitecom wireless Router

[plucka]

G'Day everyone, this is my first post on this forum, so sorry if its not quite the right protocol to ask questions this way. But here goes:

I am running Kalyway Leo 10.5.1 with efi and vanilla, have tried the drivers from the Sitecom site, but they do not seem to install properly?

I have even gone to the expense of ringing their expensive help desk, with no real clarification. I hope one of you guys has a solution, otherwise I am stuck with cabled internet for all eternity, please help, any and all help will be greatly appreciated, cheers, Plucka

29-01-08 Have gotten it to work, using www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html the first driver in the list, only the airport icon does not appear in the task bar? Anyone know how to get Hackintosh to see my Sitecom base station?

My system Stats:

MOBO AsusP5B green
Dualcore intel pentium E 2140 1.66ghz
SATA DVD burner NEC Optiarc
XFX 7600 GT XXX edition PCI-E
2 x SATA Samsung 160gig drives 1 for Leopard and 1 for Vista/XP, manual Bios boot
1 x IDE ATA WD 80gig, 2 partitions with Jas OSX 10.4.8 Tiger on it, running perfectly
Onboard sound Soundmax ADI AD1988A
Realtek networkcard
Sitecom Wireless Router with USB Dongle WL 535 + WL 172 USB
2 gigs Ram

Please reply maybe my info can help some one else as well? Cheers Plucka

Hi Pluka,

Welcome to aquamac forums! Ralink cards will not show the airport icon in the menubar as std. However, someone has written a driver that does look like the airport driver. Something I saw the other week, I just have to find it again. Will reply again if I can find the thread over at Insanely mac.

Thank you for the welcome Aquamac, I hope there is a solution, I appreciate your replying so soon and I hope to be able to help other people as well with some of my experience and knowledge accrued in getting my system to work.

Cheers mate, Plucka

Hi Pluka,

I have made a download link to the file I was telling you about. I have not tried this as I do not have a Ralink card. Reinstall the driver from the site you said worked then follow the instructions in the download here.

Really don't know if this is any help - let me know.

Hey Aquamac,

Thanks, the program I told you about is still installed, do I have to install this over the top of it?
I know its off topic, but might you have a solution for my bluetooth dongle, it works, the problem is at start up its not seen, I have to pull it out and plug it back in again to activate it?

Hope to hear from you soon, thanks again for you speedy replies, cheers mate, Plucka

[aquamac]

Yes as far as I know, you leave the driver in position and install the stuff in the download. There may be a replug program too for the USB dongles that simulates unplugging/replugging just after startup. Saw that ages ago, may take a trawl to find it again but I will look.

Thanks again mate, I will give it a go, see what happens, as far as the Bluetooth goes it not a thing that annoys me but it should work properly I guess.

I must compliment you on an excellent site, your project looks really awesome, I have my system built in to an inwin F430 Ferrari case, also very cool , but no where near as cool as your build.

Cheers, Plucka

Hey, Love to see your system!

[plucka]

Thanks a lot Aquamac, your program worked, now I have the airport icon in view, very cool. If you like you can look at this link for my PC case:

Hope you think its cool, any luck with the bluetooth driver?

Cheers, Plucka

[aquamac]

Hey,

Glad it worked! That case is pretty cool too! Which Bluetooth dongle do you have?

[plucka]

Gday Aquamac, its just a Sitecom 10m range dongle.

Hope that helps, maybe a dumb question but how do attach photo's to my posts?

Cheers, Plucka

Hi,

Believe it or not, this is tricky to show, as all that happens is the picture ends up getting shown, but I will do my best!

For pictures that you want to show from other websites, follow this procedure:

1. Right click on the picture you want to show and select, "Copy Image Address"

2. Paste this into the forum reply box and add in front of the text and add [/img) at the end so it looks like this:

[img)your pic[/img)

You must use [ and ] not ) as I have done to show you above.

Could look like this:

www.s155158671.websitehome.co.uk/Resources/shot4.jpeg[/img)

Remember the last bracket ) should be a ] but if I did that here my instructions would become invisible.

For links do this:

1. Right click on the link and select "Copy Link"

2. Paste this into the forum reply box and add

Click Here[/url)

You must use [ and ] not ) as I have done to show you.

Where I put "Click Here" you can put any text you want like download or whatever.

To show your own pictures, you first need to host them on a server somewhere or a website, then use the instructions above to show them here at the forums.

Give it a go!

Thanks again for the explanation Aquamac, I will give that a go soon. I hope you have some luck with the Bluetooth dongle?

Take it easy, cheers, Plucka

Hi Plucka,

Is your dongle plugged into a hub or straight into the back of the computer? Bluetooth dongles do not play nicely with hubs. Turn your computer off with the dongle not plugged in. Switch on and boot up then power down again. Switch on again and get to the desktop, then plug the dongle into one of the USB 1.1 ports directly into the back of the computer. Uninstall any bluetooth devices and re-install them and reboot. Let me know how it goes.
