Folks,

I've been struggling on this issue for couple of days already. I have BCM4318 (AirForce One 54g) 802.11g wireless PCI card.
Changed many options and still can't get the system to enable "IOBuiltin=true" from IORegistryExplorer.

I don't know anything about patch DSDT. That's the only area I didn't touch. I just use DPCIManager to extract the DSDT.aml.
Can anybody help out here?

1. My machine is Dell XPS 420. On-board LAN NIC has been disabled from BIOS.
2. The Wireless card talk to WIFI router without any problem.
3. Can't login to iCloud, Facetime and iMessage.
4. The card works out of box on 10.8.2. The device/vendor ID (pci14e4,4318) is natively supported in IO80211Family.kext.
5. All the regular settings in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist are as the following:

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>npci=0x2000</string>
<key>PCIRootUID</key>
<string>0</string>
<key>PciRoot(0x4)/Pci(0x19,0x0)</key>
<dict>
<key>built-in</key>
<string>0x01</string>
</dict>
<key>device-properties</key>
<string>450000000100000001000000390000000100000002010c00d041030a040000000101060000197fff0400160000006200750069006c0074002d0069006e0000000500000001</string>

6. I can see from NetworkInterface.plist the "IOBuiltin" is "true". But from IORegistryExplorer both "IOBuiltin" and "IOPrimaryInterface" are reported "false".
