iAtkos S3 v2 on HP 530

[auro]

Hello everyone

 

I installed the iAtkos S3 v2 (10.6.3) on my HP 530 notebook.

 

I used the following options-

RTC 32-bit

EVOReboot

SleepEnabler

Audio(both)

SATA -Intel

Chameleon RC5

drivers for USB, ethernet(PRO/100V) etc(I don't remember anything else)

 

I selected all the options for USB

There were no options for Intel wifi cards

 

After reboot I got most of the systems working(audio, graphics-qe/ci,trackpad) but my USB devices don't work. At boot it says EHCI could not be loaded due to link fail

 

After searching a lot in forums I found a fix for ethernet(PRO/100V)/82562VE. They said to change the PCIMatch arguments in AppleIntel8255x.kext and add 27dc8086.

But I found that my device id is 8086:1068

So I added the same in the said kext and repaired permissions and rebooted. No change.

Next I searched for USB fixes. I tried some old IOUSBFamily kexts and installed USBFix 1.3 but no change.

 

Again I tried to search for wifi drivers. My wifi card is Intel 3945ABG(8086:4222).

As suggested I installed the iwifi.kext and rebooted. But as soon as my wifi card is identified and the kext is loaded, the processor stops responding and I get a kernel panic.

 

As of now I am trying to reinstall with other settings. I think I should upgrade to 10.6.5 to get USB as I have a USB fix for 10.6.5.

 

Please help me as i am close to getting a perfect system!!

 

UPDATE-

I used the VoodooIntel3945.kext and now my wifi card can detect the networks but cannot connect to them.

 

I also used the Intel82566MM.kext and now my ethernet is shown as an option in Network diagnostics but it shows that ethernet failed.

 

As for USB I still don't have any luck.

I don't know how much progress has been made on the iwidarwin stuff for the Intel wireless solutions. The iwidarwin site looks a bit neglected, not much activity and lots of stuff is dated from a year ago. If you researched compatible wireless cards for your computer, you may have better luck just replacing it.
