bertybassett Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Got a Dell D620 (with Nvidia NVQ GFX) with ideneb 10.5.5 nforce 1.3 using a villiana keneral but the Wireless/lan cards are not working. Ever thing else is perfect, sound with headphone mute, sleep, reset, shutdon, GFX, bluetooth all perfect. My 64 dollar question is how can I tell what nic and wireless cards I have inside the laptop using the MAC OS? Once I know this information I can use these forums and work out the correct Kext to fix it. Thanks Tom Also one more question can I do keneral updates with Ideneb and villiana keneral. If not will the safeupdate fix stop these from loading?

bertybassett Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 thanks for the reply but could use device manager if it had windows. Is there an alternative MAC app?
