Recently, I purchased a Sonnet Aria Extreme 802.11.g card for my old titanium G4 1ghz. I have a preexisting Airport Card (802.11.b) and felt the need to step up for a faster connection.
The direction state to shut down the machine, insert the card in the PCI slot and boot up. Once the system is started the Aria card will over run the original airport card and function.
However, after booting up the card does not connect. It shows a power light on the card and a PCI icon on my toolbar, but it is my original card that makes the connection. Oddly enough, my airport icon on my toolbar indicates "off", but when I go into my network settings I can enable my connection to write this email (all while the icon shows off).
So what gives? Sonnet's site says that 10.5 is supported as long as I have Airport Drivers 4.2 installed. After doing some searching I found an installer that would load the old 4.2 installer on my leopard system, but this did not change anything. All the other installers required 10.3.3 and refused to install on my Leopard system.
Anyone have any ideas?
