Hey did you guys ever get the 1000HA working?  Do I have to replace the Wireless card in the 1000HA? ''I can't find any recent information on this particular model.

Does anyone know if the Netbookinstaller installation will work for this?  Appreciate if anyone has a link or info on how to hack the Asus 1000HA

All the info I can find is for 10.5 etc. Im looking for Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

Thanks!

Dion

Hello,

The 1001ha seems to be a very popular netbook that people want to install osx on yet the only problem seems to be the wireless adapter. Is it possible to just pay someone to write a driver for this to make the whole thing work? Is is that simple? I am sure enough people would want to pool their money for access to something like this.

Thanks

dude. just order yourself a compatible card for WLAN. No one is bothered to develop a driver, it is time consuming.
This laptop is flawless with a compatible WLAN card.

mightycrownG, do you have a link please ?

Can someone make a guide to install OS X on our 1001HA please ? Or a link  

Thx.

As I posted in another topic on the same model, the Mechdrew guide for installing a vanilla retail copy of snow leopard works perfectly for the 1001ha. And it is entirely possible to get the standard wifi working without replacing it. Just use the wireless utility provided by Ralink themselves posted on the Macintosh section of there website.

As I said in the other topic, Snow Leopard runs well on this model, but you have to initialise the Ralink Wireless Utility every time you switch on. I have set it up so that this program is opened on logon and have saved a profile for my wireless network so that it starts up without me having to configure it each time. One note for this software, I have noticed that if you leave it running there are sometimes issues with it randomly disconnecting, i suggest that as soon as you see that a connection has been established you quit the program, which will leave the wifi card running nicely until you next turn off/on.

I hope very much that i have been of assistance, if anybody has any problems/queries post in one of these topics about the 1001HA or pm me and I'll be happy to help further.

Thx for your help

Which Mechdrew method did you use ? Have you installed OS X from USB or DVD ? (because if USB works, it would be great because I don't want to buy an external dvd drive...)

[nico517]

I used the Mechdrew guide that explains how to install Snow Leopard via USB. I just used a large fast SD card for the OS X.6 install disk and a small USB thumb drive for the bootloader.

Please bear in mind that I used the method that explains how to use Linux to get this running, worked perfectly for me but if you use a different guide ymmv. I can't see the other guides not working, going by the simplicity of the guide and the ease with which I managed the install.

Also, along with Ralinks' software to get the stock WiFi card working there is now a kext made for the 1005/1008HA that allows the 1001HAs' Ethernet port to work perfectly. This is actually due to the 1001HA being essentially the same hardware, to the point where if you disassemble your 100HA you will see that many of the internals are labelled with 1005HA instead of 1001HA.

Obviously this shows that there is a good chance that any guides/patches made for the 1005HA will likely work with the 1001HA.

Once again, I hope I have been of assistance to anybody wanting to OS Xify this brilliant little netbook,

Nico
