iPetahh Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hi, first of nothing....I've been banned of TonyMac without warning for posting this, I appreciate if this can be considered a ban here, at least notify me and I'll be very happy to delete this post. I have a HP G61-415ES with this configuration: Intel Pentium T4300 Dual Core 4GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce G 103M My Wifi card is AR5B95 (aka. 9285), and yes: works well with Windows, isn't broken. The thing is, I succesfully installed Niresh 10.8.5 and works perfect, but I tried and tried to get WiFi conection (no Wifi icon on status bar, no Wifi on Network settings) I tried installing io80211family.kext, RehabMan-Atheros, toledaARPT.kext and nothing. No icon, no settings... Also I read something about patch DSDT but I don't get nothing clear about how to use or how to patch, all guides are too complex for a person that don't have knowledge of that things. Also a lot of files fo download are missing and a lot of links to get reference are broken, and that increase the complexity of the problem. I have a PowerMac G5 MOD working very well, but obviosly I made with the ¨Buyer's Guide¨ and I didn't got any major trouble, but with this laptop it's guiving me headache I don't know what to do now, I'm reinstalling again 10.8.5 but I don't have more ideas. Can someone help me? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/332953-hp-g61-wifi-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hello and welcome to InsanelyMac. About the ban we always talk before with the user, if we see a bad behavior. But for you avoid things like this, please read carefully our Rules. Try this method to enable your WiFi: Disable the SIP also, and repair the disk permissions. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/332953-hp-g61-wifi-problem/#findComment-2596895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know ... the problem is the processor ... you have to try In theory the processor shouldn't be a probem, neither would be the graphics but I wouldn't expect too much off it...

iPetahh Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Well, finally managed to install OSX Yosemite, and works really good to be honest. I had some troubles with iCloud, the slider sound, and but it's solved. Definitely runs better than Windows 10 on this laptop, I was using W7 (ran decently) but I prefer Mac OS. Thanks for your awesome help, you save me with Yosemite too! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/332953-hp-g61-wifi-problem/#findComment-2597843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPetahh Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Well, I'm trying with a vanilla installation of Yosemite, and I want to update to 10.10.5 For now (I had some troubles with boot, iobluetoothhcicontroller, and with boot args), I have a vanilla installation working with full graphics, audio, trackpad and Wifi (using -v dart=1 kext-dev-mod=1) Also, it shows as: MacBook Pro 5.1 Intel Core 2 Duo The question is: what is the best way to install 10.10.5 without wasting my installation? Ok I'm stupid, given that I downloaded a fresh vanilla Yosemite from MAS, obviously it's the last version of Yosemite, so as I said, I'm stupid sorry for that Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/332953-hp-g61-wifi-problem/#findComment-2600933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
