alucardunit1 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 its not important who makes it, its the chipset inside, but yes dell uses mostly broadcom so for the most part that is a save assumption. not all broadcoms are supported by osx, and i think the new atheros cards are faster with better range, not tested it justed works better for me in my house, but also is a newer chipset with all three antenna verusus the two on broadcom chipset. kevin well what card has the 3 antennas and should i purchase that will fit in hp?

dv9700t Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 well what card has the 3 antennas and should i purchase that will fit in hp? i'm a dv9700t user and heres my take on how i got wifi to work. you first need to have a hacked bios which i obtained from LRZRAGE in a thread titled "hp dv600t laptop". the hacked bios allows you to use various wifi cards without error. then I purchased a Dell PC559 1390 wifi chip/card. i'm not sure what you mean by "antennas" but if youre talking about the 3 connectors that connect to the wifi chip, then you don't need a wifi chip with 3 connectors. the pc559 chip only has two. i hooked up cable 1 and cable 2 but didnt connect cable 3 (cable 1 on the left and cable 2 on the right). good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRZRAGE Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Patched HP Phoenix BIOS to allow any wifi card: F.58A - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=120190 (DV9500) F.29 - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=124283 (DV6500) note: my laptop is a dv9500t but in the right hand corner it says DV9000 -- please check hp website with your p/n number and see what the most current BIOS is for your system.

AlSnow Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 This is for all the people who are struggling with their ethernet card "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller" I have mentioned the link on which I have posted a step by step approach in order to get the ethernet to work in leopard. You can check the same by following the link mentioned below: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...rt=#entry894159 (Guess I am too lazy to write down all the steps again hence mentioning the link) Hopefully the method should work which I followed.

jjgeis Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi all, need some help. I just learned about being able to run Leopard on a PC from one of my buds yesterday. Through his instruction I used the BOOT-132 w/mod kexts to get started and got Leopard (retail version) installed on a separate partition on my second HD in this HP dv9000. I've gotten Leopard to update, but I'm having a few issues. I can boot to leopard (usint the boot-132 boot cd), but it's not recognizing the on board laptop keyboard (have to use an usb external), the mouse pad (using an external usb mouse), no sound and no wireless (hard lan port pulg directly into the wall with no issues). Everything else seems to work fine, video, etc. What do I need to do; not the smartest when it comes to these sort of things. Any help you be great!

phlip555 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 If you swap out the intel 4695 wifi card with another one do you lose bluetooth capabilities? Which piece of hardware is the bluetooth chip on in the dv9500t notebook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krrr Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I am on 6000, I swapped with Dell 1490 and did not loose Bluetooth ( the wifi even switches off by the notch in front). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeefree Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 iATKOS v4i 10.5.4 dv6245ca What's Working Video Audio Webcam Network - With tweak SATA native support - With tweak What's not working Wireless Using the default iATKOS v4i setup wouldn't work with SATA and the network card. To get SATA native support working I needed the AHCI fix. I disabled SATA native support, installed the fix, and turned it back on. It requires starting with "-f" so I did this to automatically start with "-f". To enabled the Intel Pro/100 VE I follow these instructions. I modified /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntel8255x.kext/Contents/Info.plist and the id 0x10928086.

Peppie Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 edit: is it possible to get the quick launch buttons on top of my keyboard working as well? right now all i can use is the volume ones. yes and no. Right now, I have the volume up, volume down, and the mute button (although all it does is just flash a mute symbol on the screen when pressed). The other buttons would need a kext or something. It would be cool if I could skip songs, pause, play a DVD or anything like that right from the quicklaunch buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroZombie Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hey folks I am pulling my hair out trying to install and hoping someone can help me. I have a DV6000 with Intel CPUs, Broadcom wireless, and Intel graphics and am trying to install with ideneb 1.3 / 10.5.5 I've done about 30 installs and tried about every combo of options (including none) and keep coming up with the same error when I boot with the -v option. It is: Package 0 didn't get an HPET, repeated several times until... Panic (cpu 0 caller 0x1BB81C93): No HPETs available...CPU(s) configured incorrectly... Is there anything specific I should try? I've tried the CPU=1 option on install both on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
