But apparently not, unless I'm missing something.</p><p>The desktop is running LM no worries, but won't pick-up the wifi connection without the correct drivers, which I can't update without internet, and the loop begins.</p><p>I have had this machine running LM via wifi for ages, but started having disk errors(sorted now) so I started from scratch with a full reinstall using LVM for my extra HDD's.</p><p>Any suggestions welcome before I consign this Mac Pro 5,1 to the boat anchor it should be.</p><p>Cheers.</p>
