i did a reinstall on a wiped drive and it is back to the 90% completetion i now have sound. what i don't have is sleep i can't toggle the BT off and i can't adjust screen brightness through using the fn key. my big issue i have is the sleep. which i believe i can install using sleepenabler. but we shall see.

it also seems that i cannot get the sensitivity for the trackpad just right. it seems the sleepenabler.kext file does not work by it's self.

Activate On/Off for Bluetooth (This   step is no longer needed for NetbookInstaller ver. 0.8.3)

Navigate   with Finder to this file -   /System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/
PlugIns/BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController.kext/Contents/Info.plist

(you   need to right click, "show package content" a couple of times to access   the file)

Copy this Info.plist onto the Desktop, and open with   Text Editor.  Find the following section:

<key>Broadcom2045FamilyUSBBluetoothHCIController</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.driver.BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>Broadcom2045FamilyUSBBluetoothHCIController</string>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOUSBDevice</string>
<key>IOProviderMergeProperties</key>
<dict>
<key>ClassicMustNotSeize</key>
<true/>
</dict>
<key>idProduct</key>
<integer>8448</integer>
<key>idVendor</key>
<integer>2652</integer>
</dict>

Replace   8448 with 8529; 2652 stays as 2652.  Save Info.plist.  Move the saved   file back to the original location to over write the previous version.  

Finally,   run UpdateExtra inside /Extra (it'll take 3-4 of minutes to finish),   then reboot.  

[EDIT:   different hardware may require different codes. Here is how you look it   up for your netbook:
   Go to "About this Mac, More Info", look for   information of your bluetooth hardware
   Look specifically the HEX   code for Product ID and Vendor ID.
   For 1008HA, look for BT-253   under USB -
   Product ID: 0xb700
   Vendor ID: 0x0b05 (ASUSTek   Computer Inc.)
   Google for a HEX to Decimal converter, in my case   b700 and 0b05 convert to 46848 and 2821.
   These are the two   numbers you should use in the above info.plist file.

this is by no means my personal work. just something i had found and adding for convenience sake.

so now i will need to find how to control brightness settings and sleep. the track pad is working by fine tuning the sensitivity. will post back when i find something. for brightness and sleep.

Perhaps someone at http://www.mystiquemac.com/forum/ would be able to point you in the right direction. They have managed to get 10.6 running on the NC10 with all but the stock wifi card working.

Well on the netbook compatability chart it said the N310 is 100% compatible at mynetbook.com

there is also a guide there. you might want to look in the discussion threads and tutorial

[maclust]

well it seems as though the netbbok functions but the keys need to be remapped to have everythig perfect. the alt key acts as the CMD key but i can't find a program to remap them.

Hi,
i need help with samsung n310 and AR5007EG atheros.

Can we have a working solution or must we change the wifi card ?

i try different old solution and test without success.

thanks you

[mtest]

I would advise you to change the WiFi card.

That's the easiest and quickest way to have a working WiFi under OSX.

A Dell 1510 will not cost you much (20$ on eBay).

[maclust]

the atheros card is junk so switching to a broadcom unit is actually better. i aslo while you are in there upgarde your HDD and memory

Will the Dell 1510 work right out of the box?

[mtest]

Yes, it works like a charm...

[macinfx]

Look, Atheros Card works.

if you want to get sleep works properly on this fantastic netbook you have to change some bios values.
On the boot screen press f2 and then enter bios set up.
Set in the advanced tab this values:

EBD enalbled
USB legacy disabled
USB s3 enabled

Note that sleep won't work until you update at 10.6.3
If you update to 10.6.4 will work everithing except the ac adapter, it will works like is using battery.
I don't know wich tutorial you have used but the best way to install is using netbook installer (the latest version) and netbookmaker (latest version too).
Fell free to ask!

Hello my friend.

I have some question about how you installed OSX on N310. For the last 2 days I have been trying to install iDeneb or iAtkos but none of them works (maybe cause of the customized installation). Can you give me you resources and the best way to install OSX on my N310?

Thanks.

Larry

To those who've subbed their wifi card: is that the half-height 1510? I see a few of those on the bay and they also do wireless "n": is that working for you too? Since the original is only 10/100, it might be worth swapping anyways. Thanks.

[mtest]

Yes, it's the half-height mini-PCI 1510, which does Wifi N...
