Clarification

[mbebop]

its been awhile gentlemen,

 

today I have more of a request. The following is a list of all the 3rd party/modded kexts I’m currently running on my system (Dell Inspiron 1525, Leo 10.5.6). These are also backed up to an external, so if anyone wants them, really just ask. I didn’t create any of these, but (sorry) credits are mostly absent. I’ve compiled it to help me remember what’s important, and what everything does through numerous reinstalls. But the descriptors are vague/incomplete/inaccurate for some entries, and I would really like some help revitalizing and finalizing the list. This might also help some newbies joining the scene, but its mostly for my understanding of how everything works in preparation for building an OSX ready desktop. Anyway, here:

 

IO80211Family.kext>>>>> patched WiFi driver, tested 10.5.6

 

AppleYukon2.kext>>>>> fixes wired ethernet port (finally!), tested 10.5.6

 

AppleHDA.kext>>>>> fixes audio-working internal mic, headphones, mute. May need to delete ALCInject.kext and AppleAzila.kext, or rerun patcher. Requires HDAEnabler.kext, tested 10.5.6

 

HDAEnabler.kext>>>>> enables audio kext and displays audio information in “about this mac”, tested 10.5.6

 

AppleACPIPlatform.kext>>>>> has to do with battery meter and keyboard/trackpad, tested 10.5.6

 

AppleSMBIOSEFI.kext>>>>> displays hardware information in “about this mac”, tested 10.5.6

 

AppleSMBIOS.kext>>>>> displays additional hardware info in “about this mac”, tested 10.5.6

 

IONetworkingFamily.kext>>>>> fixes time machine, tested 10.5.6

 

IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext>>>>> fixes SD Card Reader! tested 10.5.6

 

PowerManagement.bundle>>>>> fixes battery meter, tested 10.5.6

*****note: must be installed to /Leopard/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/*****

 

Disabler.kext and AppleDecrypt.kext (safe updates)>>>>> blocks installation of AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, allowing for safe updates, tested 10.5.6

 

VoodooUSBEHCI.kext and IOUSBFamily.kext>>>>> fixes sleep! either follow instructions to mod IOUSBFamily.kext or just install the included one, tested 10.5.6

 

ClamshellDisplay.kext>>>>> enables sleep when lid is closed, tested 10.5.6

 

All kext in USB folder>>>>> something to do with the USB/PS2. Most of these are built into the IOUSBFamily.kext, tested 10.5.6

 

Superhai mods>>>>> voodoo speedstep, better battery management, and sleep fix, tested 10.5.6

 

dsdt.aml>>>>> place in root, enables normal display boot without sleep trick, tested 10.5.6

 

Thanks in advance, hopefully this isn’t TL;DR
