JamerTheProgrammer Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hey! I have a sucessful install of Snow Leo on my Aspire One which works beautifully, even the GPU works just fine. My netbook is a Acer Aspire One D250. The other day I ordered a DW1490 off of ebay. I have put it in the mini PCIE port at the bottom of the machine. OSX sees it, but I just cant turn it on. How do I turn it on? I have tried the switch on the front of my machine. I have even tried turning it on by pressing the icon in the top bar and it just does nothing. I have tried that en0 up thing too. What do I do to enable it? It works under both Kubuntu and Windows (I have it tripple booted). Thanks!

Right, Il give it a try and get back to you. I have removed the non working card out to stop the machine from getting confused between the both. I have taped pin 20. Still nothing. I shal try quick boot! Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274336-please-help-how-do-i-force-enable-dw1490/#findComment-1785598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
