Re: Airport Card wont stay joined to network
Hey thanks for your advice. Replaced Pram Battery, and Repaired Permissions, and thus far it seems that things are working. Thanks again. --- On Thu, 3/17/11, Kris Tilford wrote: From: Kris Tilford Subject: Re: Airport Card wont stay joined to network To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, March 17, 2011, 9:08 PM On Mar 17, 2011, at 6:51 PM, Clmtyne wrote: > I have issues adding a airport extreme card in a Mac Emac 1.25ghz > system.

With OS 10.4.11 and hibernation enabled, my friend would press the Power button on the side to hibernate the eMac, and then press it again later to revive it to its prior state, but each time the Airport connection drops and has to be manually restarted by changing Airport in the Menu Bar to "Off" and then back to "On" again. Never could figure out a solution, but I didn't try very hard. --You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

What I had to do was use a command line tool 'networksetup' to work around the problem. Go to Applications>Utilities>Terminal and open a command prompt. Type in 'networksetup -listallhardwareports'. This will generate a list of all the network adapters on your eMac. Look for the one marked "Airport" and note the device name associated with it. I think it's usually 'en1'. Go ahead and reboot. Once the machine reboots, try the following line as a test: networksetup -setairportnetwork en1 network password You'll need to substitute the device name you discovered the first time you ran networksetup for 'en1'. Likewise, substitute the name of your Airport network for 'network' and the appropriate router password. The password may or may not be necessary. If this command succesfully joins your network for you, you'll need to turn it into a script. Go to Terminal and type 'nano airport.command'. Then type in 'networksetup -setairportnetwork en1 network password', modified appropriately for your own network. Then hit CTRL-X, then Y to save the file. Next step is to add it to your Login Items so that it runs each time you boot up or login. Open Finder and navigate to your home directory (usually its listed under Places in the left hand pane of Finder as your user name.) Once there you should see airport.command file. Open up System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and drag airport.command to the login items box. It should then run automatically at boot or login. That worked for me. I'm not sure if you'd consider it worth the effort...
