Hello everyone,

I facing some trouble with my SD Card Reader on my Dell 3442 laptop. I have tried by changing device id and vendor id, also changed it to an external device, still out of luck. Here is what is showing on my System Information:

USB2.0-CRW:

  Product ID: 0x0129
  Vendor ID: 0x0bda  (Realtek Semiconductor Corp.)
  Version: 39.60
  Serial Number: 20100201396000000
  Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
  Manufacturer: Generic
  Location ID: 0x1d180000 / 4
  Current Available (mA): 500
  Current Required (mA): Unknown (Device has not been configured)
  Built-In: Yes

Is there any way I could get it working?

 

 

Also anyone could tell me if I'm able to get my bluetooth working?

BCM43142A0:

  Product ID: 0x21d7
  Vendor ID: 0x0a5c  (Broadcom Corp.)
  Version: 1.12
  Serial Number: 543530E6B2C8
  Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
  Manufacturer: Broadcom Corp
  Location ID: 0x1d160000 / 3
  Current Available (mA): 500
  Current Required (mA): Unknown (Device has not been configured)
  Built-In: Yes

I'm not actually sure if it's my bluetooth.

 

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

SDCard = Some card readers are on the PCI bus and have OS X drivers available from the manufacturer (certain Jmicron devices, for example). Some are on the USB bus and might work using the class driver built-in to OS X. You won't know until you try.

 

In your case, probably is PCI.

Hi Allan,

Thank you for your reply.  After a couple hour of googling, I came into conclusion that, this particular model of Card Reader have no solution for OS X. Many people tried, but no success story. I don't know if I'm able to make it working. The method I tried (injecting deviceId and vendorId in AppleUSBCardReader.kext under AppleStorageDrivers.kext, doesn't work at all. I think no solution for this.

 

As for Bluetooth/Wifi combo driver, I'm now trying with your given link's method. Will let you know the updates.

 

Hi Allan,

The method described in the link actually does't work for me. I think I have a combo Bluetooth/WiFi adapter (Googling).

I actually don't know which device is working for bluetooth. The product id / vendor id showing under "system information" for bluetooth, doesn't match with any device in LSPCI.

 

Please let me know about your thoughts.

Hey bro, i've searching about this WiFi Combo, and some users doesn't have success for enable in OS X.

 

Here is the list of supported and unsupported card ( Yellow means work with WifiInjector kext, Green means work OOB, red means unsupported, HMB cards are cards also have Bluetooth )
Or you can use a wifi dongle which is supported by OS X, but it also has downsides like battery draining, weak signal or causing sleep issues.
