The wireless card should be fixed with a generic atheros wireless LAN kext. If not, make sure that you have a 2nd PC or laptop to download it after. So afterall, the netbook shouldn't have any problems. Mine had with snow leopard, with leopard, there sholdn't be any. If Leopard succeeds, that means that you need a modified kernel for Snow. Or use the 10.5 working kernel (it might work, but only up to 10.6.1 or so, before the Atom was no longer supported). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
