OK I finally got Lion Installed on my DELL Inspiron N5110 Core i7 8GB NB. :D

 

So far everything is working Smoothly running in 32bit arch=i386 mode.

Running arch=x86_64 seems to make this laptop run a bit slower and has occasional sudden reboot for no reason.

 

Intel HD3000 Graphics is working good :D with setting the GraphicsEnabler=No in boot.plist

nVidia GF 525M GT is not working :D

Network LAN Realtek PCIe FE Family (8167 chip) is also not working, tried everything, still not supported as far as I know. :blink:

Wifi Not Working :(

Bluetooth is Working.

Keyboard and Touchpad work great!

Sound works Flawlessly with VoodooHDA.2.7.2 :D

Even the NB fn buttons work and behave like a MacBookPro.

 

Did anyone managed to get the Network working? :angel:
