dell truemobile 1450

[Guyfromorem]

I am on a inspiron 9300. I purchased a dell truemobile 1450. I reformatted and it wasn't detected. I tried using older kext's. Please help me.

Yeah, you need the kext from 10.4.5 to get it to work. I have the same one and 10.4.8 doesn't work out of the box like it used to. I can't remember offhand which file it was sorry I can't be more help. At least you know that you need the 10.4.5 file now though.

Get the IONetworkingFamily kext and the IOPciFamily kext from 10.4.3 from here.

 

Chances are after you replace your kext files repair and reboot it will show you have an airport extreme card but it will show it is off. If so open your Library/Preferences/SystemsConfigurations and drag your networkingInterfaces.plist to your desktop and edit it with textedit. The string above the list with your device id will need to be changed from <integer>0</integer> to <integer>1</integer>

 

Here is mine that is working with the Dell truemobile 1450.

<key>IOInterfaceType</key>

<integer>1</integer>

<key>IOLocation</key>

<string></string>

<key>IOPathMatch</key>

</dict>

 

 

After you edit it drag your old .plist to the trashbin and drag the new one to it's place Authenticate repair and reboot.

After this it should show a new port when you click on the airport icon.
