Which model do you have? Mine is the A1 and:
1.- The SMBios.plist I use is Macbook6,1. I'm trying the 6,2 for the speedstep to work in turbo mode with no positive results whatsoever. I'll try your MBAir...
2.- IO80211Family.kext it is not necesary if you patch correctly the DSDT. It works flawlessly.

3.- The Atheros Gigabyte Ethernet controller works with lc1 kext in ######.
4.- Why did you remove the org.chameleon.Boot.plist is a big mistery to me.

This one works perfectly for our laptop.
5.- I don't know why using ATI Rom doesn't work in ML. It cause a big f...ng hang. I dropped its use because of that and because I use Chameleon/Chimera as bootloader and works fine with AtiConfig=Orangutan (only LCD, no VGA, no HDMI but I'm working the kext's tweak right now, just matter of few hex strings in the right order

)
What is driven me crazy is the LCD stays off after awake from sleep. Everything sleeps well (USB, disks, trackpad, ethernet, wifi, BT, even the Video) and everything awakes well too but the LCD panel.
Another little detail is sound. I couldn't work with AppleHDA ever (vanilla way). I always have to depend on VoodooHDA with its mono sound bug (or my ignorance) so if you can help me with the correct DSDT lines and the right AppleHDA.kext you'll gain my eternal (as long the laptop works

) appreciation.
