Also note that I have installed a different wifi chip (Atheros). I originally had the Centrino Ultimate-N but no way that this chip is ever going to work with MacOSX.

yes, same problem here! nano wifi usb key for me (Trendnet TEW-648UBM) with 10.6 original driver/wifi tools from trendnet.com

i will make some tests now :-)

how can i check if speedstep is working?
i tried to run SMC Monitor but it is showing nothing.

To see if speedstep is working, download MSRDumper: http://www.insanelym...howtopic=258612
Then, using Terminal, go to the folder where you put the MSRDumper and run

sudo chown -R root:wheel MSRDumper.kext
sudo kextload MSRDumper.kext
tail -f /var/log/kernel.log

Then play with your computer and watch the output of the terminal. You should see all the PStates (current and all reached). For me this goes from 8 to 32.

Install with Unibeast usb key maker and Scotchy49 "E6420 pack" (chameleon + dsdt file)

No KP!, no one ;-)

working ;

lot of things
- Graphic card : NVS 4200M
- Battery indicator
- keyboard
- trackpad/touchpad (as a simple mouse), no advanced features like "two fingers"
- Sound (whitout general volume control) ... need to use soundflower (kp?)
- External usb wifi key (Trendnet TEW-648UBM ~20$) - driver and wifi tool from constructor website (osx 10.6 version)
- Bultin Ethernet

Not working again ;

- Centrino wifi (for sure)
- Sleep mode
- General volume control (system/keyboard). I must change sound directly from itunes controller (need to test with soundflower...)
- Screen luminosity control, (system/keyboard). == works only before activation of NVS 4200M ==
- touchpad, two fingers and others advanced features

To get volume control working, you can use Soundflower (http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/) and redirect sound from preferences to Soundflower (2ch). Then, using SoundFlower task bar icon, you select Speaker (Analog).

This will fix the volume control, however this can cause KPs due to a bug in Soundflower. Please experiment and tell me how this works out for you.

After a fresh install, without modification, screen luminosity worked fine from the keyboard button!!! Any  idea ?

update: 12/11/11 14:13

Screen luminosity is not working for me, it is only working while the notebook is booting but after starting lion it is not working anymore. on the apple boot screen it is working.

@m45k, with last unibeast key maker (chimera 1.6), fresh install, with graphicsenabler = no, keyboard control of luminosity works fine, boot screen and Lion ;-)

Yes this is caused by GraphicsEnabler=yes.  

I will try injecting the graphics through DSDT and keep you updated. (still no luck on sleep so far... )

Download Chameleon Wizard and generate a new serial number (smbios.plist)

Update:

Not much of a progress, but here is the latest DSDT. It doesn't require GraphicsEnabler=yes anymore
