In Topic: N5050 Lion 10.7.2 wifi / trackpad troubles

@husaber Thanks for the reply. Tried them both, but without success.

I couldn't get the wireless card working. My solution was ordering an Atheros AR9280 AR5BHB92 Half PCI-E Wireless Card 300M through Ebay. It arrived by mail today. Swapped the original card with the Atheros AR9280 AR5BHB92 one and as expected it was detected OOB. So a very cheap hardware fix: $10,50 in total.

Trackpad keeps buggin' me a bit though. Using a modified voodoops2controller kext for Alps from Projectosx.com (google it, not sure if i'm allowed to link to it here) I managed to get my trackpad to be detected as a "normal" mouse. Still, i'd love to be able to get side scrolling / multi finger scrolling working. For the time being I found out that when I click and hold the left + right mouse button simultanioualy and swipe over the trackpad it scrolls. Not very elegant but works better than using the scollbars.

I've been trying to figure out what the model (deviceID etc) of my trackpad it is but I can't find it. Does anyone know how I can find out what exact model the alps trackpad is? Some linux/windows/osx tool I don't know about?
