stevns Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Google Belkin F5D8073, because i bought my in Denmark, from a danish company. Around 40-50 USD. Driver: http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/..._2009_02_17.dmg I have attached a picture of the installed card. Acceptable "stiky-outy-ness" for permanent install, I think.

Cheers Stevns Awesome Stevns. I also work for HP and have a 8530w. I found that I'm almost vanilla. I didn't do anything special after installing iDeneb 10.5.6, I just upgraded to 10.5.7, then 10.5.8, no combo update. Everything pretty much works. Waiting on Wireless Lan driver from IWIDarwin, but I'm using a wireless bridge to the ethernet for now so that's kind-of ok. That or iphone bluetooth tethering to get some sort of internet access. (almost like having wireless, eh? ) anyhow, I was wondering if you knew how to get dual monitors going on this. Also, do you know if the hdmi port would work? Thanks in advance. --agony PS, you can probably look up my name on the GAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevns Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Austin: outlook = "stevns" + shift-k I'll check the HDMI very soon. Have a Sony LCD TV, so i'll connect to this very soon. Cheers Stevns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianos Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 for me i didn't find a way to boot on an external monitor/LCD through the docking-station with DVI or VGA. but i didn't try hard... hm... things we should get running are: - brightness-control - sleep-issue: display is very dark after a sleep/resume, same problem under linux (in linux the brightness-keys aren't working too ) - DVI/VGA/HDMI would be nice - BIOS-mod for mini-pci e cards - Microphone support would be so nice (skype, etc) - general bluetooth-hackintosh-problem: it's not possible to pair with iphone correctly for tethering> bluetooth-icon in menubar is grayed out with the text "bluetooth: disabled/turned off) after pairing with the phone... USB works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB works iPhone 3G Bluetooth paring works fine. The bigger problem is that there seems to be no way to turn bluetooth back on the next time you need to tether or whatever with the iPhone. I found a way around this! Go to your Apps and find the Blue Tooth File Transfer, or whatver it's called, and double click it. You will get a message which asks you to turn on bluetooth. Say yes, and enjoy your tethering again. It's a bit of hack, but it seems to work better than deleting and re-adding the phone every time. One note, in order to add the phone properly from the bluetooth control panel, you must have the iPhone on the BT screen under general settings and it must say "now discoverable" if you don't do this, it won't be added. You also may need to try a couple times. Turning off WiFi can help speed this up. --agony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevns Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I know that Nvidia has mac drivers on their site. Anyone interested in testing it?
