Address various minor Mac App Store bugs

 

k, first of all... Minor? lol. Seems buggier then any other app I've used on OSX :)

 

And also, what happened to all these graphics, safari, airport, etc fixes/updates I've been reading about for the past month? =/

 

also, installing it now. Got nothing to lose if something goes wrong. All my data's on another HD inc my home folder :D

No issues in my case. Running 64 Bit and it is the first time that I have seen 3612, which was previously below 3600, in Geekbench. On 32 Bit it was ~3280. Previously, some had reported that Atheros 9280 wifi card stopped working on 10.6.7. However, I can confirm that it is still working. If yours stopped working then try to change the sub system id. Below is the code I am using. Original code belongs to The KING. You need to apply this hack to your wifi device. In my case, AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x1382) changed to AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x8F), which is the one on iMac11,1 and iMac11,2.

                   {

                               {
                                   "AirPort"
                               },

                               {
                                   "Atheros 9280 802.11 b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter"
                               },

                               {
                                   0x8F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                               }, 

                               "subsystem-vendor-id", 
                               Buffer (0x04)
                               {
                                   0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00
                               }
                           }, Local0)
                       DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                       Return (Local0)
                   }
               }

I had to repair permissions and do one more restart to get brightness working again. Here take a look at my current setup, fixes and kexts.

Same situation as before previous updates.

Delete Sleepenabler.kext or pmVersion=0 during boot and everything works like charm.

 

I used pmVersion=21 after the 10.6.7 update and it booted and sleep worked as before.

Can you connect on "N" Router ? Seems that 9280 & 9285 can only work on "G"
