bradgillap Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 So I followed some other users guides for the TC4200 but my ethernet didn't work upon first boot. I have a broadcom wireless card on the way from ebay so I'm trying to work out the kinks in the meantime. I followed the image posted in this thread from someone else with a compaq/HP TC4200. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=191143 I didn't have the ethernet plugged in during installation. Does this make a difference? I chose the Apple 5751 ethernet driver from the customization page. Also I have this package to use to get my tablet stuff working but I am unsure how to go about making sure it works. I haven't tried copying it to the laptop yet because of the lack of ethernet so it may be easier than I expect. TabletMagic2b17d2.dmg I got sound, video and bluetooth it would seem. Okay so I double checked the specs and here they are: eth: broadcom corporation netextreme bcm5751m gigabit ethernet wifi: pro wireless 2200bg network texus instruments PCIxx21 / X515 I'm going to try this again with ethernet plugged in during installation and adding the intel pro wireless 2200 package during installation.

bradgillap Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 So I google foo'd my way into 4am last night on the ethernet issue. I tried probably 10 different kexts of drivers that might of worked. The most promising thing I found was this. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=127146 His patch didn't work on my TC4200 but I'm going to try and follow his instructions tonight on hex editing a file and changing a plist.
