thefrog Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Ok, so I have a macbook pro (i know not a hackintosh, but you guys here are probably better when it comes to hacking kexts than any dedicated real mac forum i know). Anyways I have a dell wireless express card "Wireless 5510", which is just a rebranded Novatel XU870. The problem is that the card has a different product and manufacturer ID number. So i changed the plists in the IOSerialFamily.kext file and got the card to be recognized and connect. Now my problem is that the WWAN menubar doesn't work. It just says The Card was not detected or something along those lines. I looked in the /System/Library/Core Services/Menu Extras/WWAN.menu package and edited AppleWWANSuppert-info plist to reflect the dell product numbers, but that didn't change anything. Are there any cache files I need to reload to get that to take affect? or is there something else i'm missing in getting this work? Anyone have any ideas?
