Sony Ericsson GC79 wireless card and Wallstreet

Posted by: bibilit on 2012-03-31 08:34:19 I collected a couple of weeks ago the following card. This card is using the Broadcom BCM4306 chipset, so the same as the original Airport one. I inserted the card in my Wallstreet (Mac OS 10.3) and the card is properly detected as a Broadcom BCM4306 card...I turned Airport on and it started working and detecting the available hotspots, including my own. The problem is each time i try to enter the password, Airport says this is not recognised. Moreover, internet is not working, even with a free hotspot and setting the network to manual (DHCP is not working apparently) The signal's strenght seems to be good. Any clues?
