reeg Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I finally managed to load iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 on my HP 6910p with only selecting the additional apps in the install. I had no idea and didn't see anything familiar to my hardware in the patches section so I skipped them. However, now I'm not able to use WiFi, the DVD Drive isn't recognized and there's no audio. To make it not sound so desperate here, I just don't know what to do "post-install". I'm completely new to the Mac OS X so loading drivers, new hardware, etc. is completely foreign to me. Could someone please help me with getting everything working with this thing again? It'd be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. This is the only info I have on the 6910p... CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 2.00GHz OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Business Hard Drive: 120 GB SATA @ 5400RPM Screen: 14.1" WXGA Widescreen (1280 x 800) (WXGA+ option available) Graphics: Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics RAM: 2.0GB DDR2 SDRAM (2 x 1GB) Optical Drive: DVD SuperMulti drive (DVD+/-RW) w/Double Layer Support Battery: 6-cell lithium ion, 55WHr Wireless: Intel PRO / Wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n Optional WWAN: Integrated HP ev2200 1xEV-DO Wireless Module Security: Fingerprint reader, TPM hardware-based encryption Weight: 5.2 lbs Dimensions: 13" (Width) x 9.4" (Depth) x 1.1" (Height) Ports/Slots: docking connector; 1 IEEE 1394 (FireWire); 3 Universal Serial Bus (USB 2.0); VGA monitor out; S-video out; RJ-45 Ethernet LAN; RJ-11 modem; Type I/II PC Card Slot; SmartCard; SD card reader; headphone/speaker jack; microphone My USB's still work and I'm able to exchange data that way for now. What do I need to download to get my additional hardware to work? Kexts? Or something else? I'm very new. Please help.

reeg Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Please. All I need to load is one kext and that's for my network. The rest I can get with the kexthelper.

reeg Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thank you sir! Me and Google hang out everyday actually. We're best buds. I searched up and down for this stuff. I hope this works! Thanks again! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179225-hp-6910p-x-ideneb-v13-1055/#findComment-1222592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeg Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Google is your friend.. http://code.google.com/p/iwidarwin/ http://projectcamphor.mercurysquad.com Tried them both with no luck. No change to anything that I can see. When I click on Network, all I have is Bluetooth and FireWire for some reason. Used the installer for iwi first, restarted, nothing. Then installed the voodoo kext with the kexthelper, restarted, nothing. Read somewhere that the iwi kext could be messing with the voodoo one so I deleted the iwi one, reinstalled the voodoo kext using the kexthelper, restarted and still nothing. I'm wondering if I'm better off going back to the main OS install and messing with the LAN patch there. Am I missing something?

Beerkex'd Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The exact model number and/or device ID for your wireless Intel LAN. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179225-hp-6910p-x-ideneb-v13-1055/#findComment-1222608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeg Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Peeled off the back and this is what it said... Model: 4965AG_ MM1 Intel Wireless WiFi link 4965AGN From what I've read here, it's not lookin' like there's been a single person to have success with this chipset.

Beerkex'd Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Now you're talking.. unfortunately it looks like there's no support for that particular model. Now that you've got the model number you should be able to find out more on your own. More info here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=84072 I wonder what the other "HP" Wireless device on your laptop really is. Maybe there's support for that. And what about the RJ-45 ethernet port, what make/model is that? Find out as much as you can..and search.

reeg Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 tried the 4965AG and my system would boot, go into OSX just fine and I can see it even brings up the wifi now, but then CRASHES about 2 minutes later.

reeg Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 I found more details about my hardware that can hopefully help. I've been looking around, but I'm still having a hard time finding the right way to get certain things to work. Hopefully some of you may have had the same hardware and know how some work arounds. Thank you. CD/DVD Drive: MAT{censored}A UJDA775 DVD/CDRW ATA Device Ethernet: Intel 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection WiFi: Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG Audio: SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio Sleep doesn't work and the wifi package I installed from iwi has the icon in the bar, but won't find any networks. Constantly stuck on scanning. Once again, any help is much appreciated.

imacken Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 As far as wireless on the Intel is concerned, you won't get it working. There is some hope for the future though with Project Camphor. For now, just buy yourself a USB wireless adaptor. I got mine for around £12 and it works a treat.

I was going to mess with the Linksys USB hack, but if there's something easier, let me know please.

imacken Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well, I bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edimax-EW-7318Ug-W...5931&sr=1-1 but any Mac compatible one will do I think. Just install the drivers from the disk, plug it in and off you go!

Beerkex'd Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 If your laptop has a PC card slot, there are some wireless cards that will work as a real Apple Airport device with just a little bit of driver modification. I think the brand is Atheros, not sure. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/179225-hp-6910p-x-ideneb-v13-1055/#findComment-1224420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
