Pavilion DV4200 Success! with iPC 10.5.6

[Dark Horse]

Hi all,

 

I have an HP Pavilion DV4217cl; should work for most DV4200 with same system specs.

Here is what worked for me:

 

9.5 Voodoo kernel

Laptop Display

Intel GMA 900 (the name GM915 may mislead you, you must select GMA900)

Intel ICH 10 SATA support

AC '97 Audio (this is weird, as the notebook has intel hd audio, but it works)

RealTek R1000

Intel Proset/Wireless 2200

seatbelt.kext 10.5.5

PS2 Keyboard fix

PS2 Mouse fix

All Applications except Marvin's AMD Utility

 

ON REBOOT, press "F8" key at Darwin prompt, then type "-f" (no quotes, of course)

 

Also: HELP!

I still have two problems:

1. I am still failing with the intel 2200b/g wireless working. It is on and I can see my network, as well as surrounding networks using Network Selector, however, once I tell it which network to connect associate with, I get nothing. I can see that the program is working and that the card is available and working; I know I am simply doing something wrong.

2. Network Preferences keeps crashing when I attempt to make changes.

 

My Ethernet connects fine, it's the wireless I am struggling with.

 

Any help on this wireless issue is greatly appreciated!

 

Best of Luck!
