This is an example of using the DeviceMergeNub for injection.
The stock plist injects into an SMBus controller.
In the case of the example it uses
-Vendor ID: 0x8086 (Intel) with vendor-id (<86800000>)
-Device ID: 0x27da with device-id (<da270000>)
And it injects the following values through IOProviderMergeProperties:
-device-id: set to 0x303a (<3a300000>)
-name: set to pci8086,303a
-IOName: set to pci8086,303a
It is possible to inject for any device this way.
It can even match for entire classes if class-code is used instead of vendor-id and device-id.
IORegistryExplorer is handy for looking up the exact device entries.
You need to get the Apple plist editor for editing the Info.plist

BTW: If anybody is interested in a FireWire injector I can make that too (FireWireMergeNub)
Let me know if that is the case...

Of course!
What you need? (for FRW400)...

I find something strange in IORegistryExplorer.
It seem that all PCI devices are injected by the same infomation.
For example.

and I find this in Console.

Is the kext cannot be used with natit?  

[jlvaio]

can it does something for vaio internal screen problem?(sfep ,  sny5001)
the most recent topics is:  http://www.insanelym...p...8556&st=360
i think the users most competent to describe the issue and the advanced and the "problem" are kizwann and funky frank from this topics
thanks if you can take a look and can help

hope and wich of success

A little bit of time...  
I'll make one tomorrow....  
EDIT: I did it today. Look under the New Releases part of the forum

That's odd... it didn't do that here (I think).
I'll look into it.

You can use this injector to inject values into the classes of the driver (like the EDID and stuff).
This might be able to help you...

Sorry, I mixed up the way the USB family does it.
The proper way is the plist attached below....

Is this kext for snow only?

Yes, it is for Snow only but it properly can be recompiled for Tiger / Leopard.
If you want that I'll build it for you.
Let me know....

[Time2Retire]

Great. This might be what I am looking for. That is if it comes with source code; I can read/set properties in command line tools already but would like to learn new stuff. Totally different stuff to learn again. Thank you for sharing.

Use the plist attached in one of the replies and get the new sources...
They include builds for Leopard and Tiger

It is pity that modifying vendor id and device id doesn't make kext driver loaded.
But,I don't need natit anymore.
By injecting information,I got my graphic card enabled and make my wireless look like an AirPort Extreme Card.

Good job,Andy!  

Yeah, the nice part of DeviceMergeNub is that it is an all purpose generic PCI device + classes injector.
This little devil can do all...  

I've got another example.
This one matches on part of the class id.
It's a replacement for HDAEnabler in this case (audio injector).

Andy, this new injector looks very interesting and I would like to try it.  However, just a few questions before I jump in.  

I currently have two PCI-e adapter cards. One has two firewire and three usb ports. The other has four usb ports.  While the ports are functional, neither adapter is recognized by the System Profiler.  The questions hear are: 1) do I need two copies of the injector to get both adapters recognized of can it be done with one copy and extra Info.plist entries?  2) If I get the adapters recognized would that apply to items plugged into the various ports?

I also have a built-in realtek acl888 audio.  Currently it is supported by VoodooHDA. Again, not seen by the System Profiller and not supported by the Apple HDA drivers.  Could this injector help with either of those issues?

And, before I forget, thanks for the effort on this new tool.

1. You must use only one injector but use the apple plist editor to set multiple IOKitPersonalities.
2. The injector performs on PCI devices only, not USB devices (use AppleUSBMergeNub for that).
3. The support will only be there for injecting information for AppleHDA + System Profiler (see picture)

Andy,

I really appreciate your reply.  I will get a copy of AppleUSBMergeNub and give it a try also.  I think I have enough info to get started.  Again, many thanks.

P.S. AppleUSBMergeNub is standard on every Mac OS X system so you can use legacy kext's for that...
The kext is present under IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns

Andy, is there any way to inject PCI cards info (for each device) in the section PCI card of System profiler? I think it's only cosmetic but I'd like to try...

Yes, it should be possible.

You need to inject the following:
AAPL,slot-name (the name of the slot of the device e.g. PCI-0)
device_type (the type of the device e.g. ethernet)
model (the model of the device e.g. Atheros AR8132 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter

NOTE: AAPL,slot-name must be unique for each device.
You can use multiple IOKitPersonalities entries for it and all of the above can use type string.

hi andy

if you can do it for 10.5 it should be great
