Hey guys,

I installed 10.4.6 onto my Compaq V2000 laptop (mine has a core duo) and the following things are not working:

1. Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
2. Ethernet - I'm not sure what ethernet hardware is in the laptop, but if I look at the hardware information in my Suse 10.1 installation, it says:
Model: "Hewlett-Packard Company Ethernet controller"
Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation"
Device: pci 0x1092
SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company"
SubDevice: pci 0x30a0
so I guess it's an Intel PRO Network Adapter
3. Sound - Again here is the hardware info through Suse
Hardware Class: sound
Model: "Hewlett-Packard Company 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller"
Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation"
Device: pci 0x27d8 "82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller"
SubVendor: pci 0x103c "Hewlett-Packard Company"
SubDevice: pci 0x30a0
4. ACPI Power monitoring...

Does anyone know how to get these working? I find it particularly distressing that the ethernet doesn't even work as I cannot get online and therefore the installation is pretty worthless without the net...

1. 3945 wireless - no drivers available
2. Intel Pro ethernet:

- Edit this file in Terminal (in Utilities folder):

CODE

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents/Info.plist

- Find the following:

QUOTE

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x10518086 0x10508086 0x10298086 0x10308086&0xfff0ffff 0x12098086 0x12278086 0x12288086 0x12298086 0x24498086 0x24598086 0x245d8086 0x10918086 0x10608086&0xfff0ffff </string>

- Add your vendor/device id string to the above:

QUOTE

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x10928086 0x10518086 0x10508086 0x10298086 0x10308086&0xfff0ffff 0x12098086 0x12278086 0x12288086 0x12298086 0x24498086 0x24598086 0x245d8086 0x10918086 0x10608086&0xfff0ffff </string>

- Save and exit:

hit Control-O and then Control-X

- Delete the following 2 files:

/System/Library/Extensions.mkext
/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

- Repair permissions:

Go into Disk Utility (in Utilities folder) and select the OSX partition and click on Repair Permissions

- Reboot

3. Sound: There are two chips involved in creating audio - the controller and the codec chips. You have specified the controller chip: "Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller", vendor id=8086, device id=27d8.

You need to find the identity of the codec chip: like Realtek 882 or Sigmatel 9200 or Soundmax 1986. You can find that info in Windows by following the Appendix part A in this guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=18642

4. ACPI - no idea

Cool, I got the Ethernet to work...I'll look up that sound stuff, assuming I can find it in Suse and get back to you

OK I found the following info in Suse by running the command "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* |head "

Codec: Generic 14f1 ID 5047
Address: 0
Vendor Id: 0x14f15047

I think this is a Conexant chip.

Does this help?

It is Conexant. You might try the guide I referenced above: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=18642

Use 0x14f15047 for the first string and 0x27d88086 for the second string.

Cool I'll try that. Thanks!

When I run:

kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext is not authentic (check ownership and permissions)

I get the following error:

kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext is not authentic (check ownership and permissions)

Is there any workaround for this?

Did you do the step:

sudo diskutil repairpermissions /

Yes I did... I am currently trying to reinstall the packages using Pacifist as per the instructions I saw you gave someone in another thread, however I do not see AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

I noticed in the other thread you mentioned that the error is because of a corrupt .kext file...Why would the file get corrupt? I didn't change any of the spacing or anything like that. Note: I didn't use pico to edit the files...I just did it through textedit

What package are you trying to extract the kext from?

A text file has different (invisible) line endings in Windows, Unix and Mac. TextEdit has its origins in Unix but may now conform to Mac conventions. Pico (or Nano) uses Unix conventions. I use BBEdit which has a switch for all 3 and I set it to Unix conventions before I edit a kext.

In Pacifist, I click Open Package,

then in the 10.4.6 Install DVD I select /System/Installation/Packages/Essentials.pkg

Then I go to /System/Library/Extensions

Here I can find AppleHDA.kext but I cannot find AppleAzaliaAudio.kext




I figure that I need to reinstall this extension and then edit it using sudo so as not to corrupt it, and then hopefully I'll have something working. If I cannot reinstall this file, will there be any repurcussions when I reboot?

Try using the one in /System/Installation/Packages/10.4.6.Intel.SSE3.pkg

I wouldn't replace the AppleHDA.kext if you are just going to delete it again.

If the kext doesn't cause you a panic on boot, then there are no repercussions except lack of sound.

OK, I've reinstalled the .kext files using Pacifist went the the tutorial again using pico this time. No errors, so I am about to reboot...cross your fingers and wish me luck!

Well, it looks like it still doesn't see my sound card...I guess I'll move on to getting dual booting with Suse to work.

Thanks for your help Rammjet

WHOA! I just looked and noticed that AppleHDA.kext was still there...must have screwed something up in deleting it. I redid the tutorial and now it works!

I've follwed the instructions here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=18642 for getting my Conexant HD audio working (HP DV2000 laptop)

I used the revised strings you gave ramjet. It seems to work fine, and when I reboot I can play soundfiles in quick time and the volume control also appears - but I get no sound from the speakers? Any ideas?

I got my sound working, I don't know how - but it came from the speakers fine.

Then I rebooted and now I can only hear sound from the headphone port on the laptop - not through the speakers. Any ideas anyone?

where can i find the vendor/device id? thanks!
