Did you recheck the connection of the Airport Extreme card inside your G5? The kexts for Airport (or competitive 802.11 networking) support all reside as plug-ins in: /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext In 10.9, these plug-ins are: AirPortAtheros40 (handles the Atheros-based

Kris: Thanks for the advice. After various family health issues (and deaths) since Thanksgiving, I only got around to giving this a try today. As you suspected, those KEXTs are NOT installed. Unfortunately, none of the steps you suggested managed to install any of them. Even after running the

I’m interested in the answers. My Quicksilver with a Sonnet 933 GHz board doesn’t recognize the Airport Cards … I’ve tried more than one. I’d decided maybe the problem must be in the motherboard. But, when I substituted two other 867mhz Quicksilvers … it did the same thing. This sent by my mid
