Install

 

  • DVD used: Kalyway 10.5.1
  • Boot from DVD and go to Disk Utility and click the actual Hard Drive.
  • Partition it with one partition flagged as MBR
  • In customize, select options SSE2 and efi_mbr flag
  • Wait forever

 

Post Boot

 

  • If yours is like mine and only boots with the DVD, then load the DVD, strike F8 and boot with option –s
  • When the loading screen stalls, and you can type, enter in information "cd /usr/standalone/i386" then press "Enter"
  • At prompt type "./startupfiletools -v /dev/rdiskXsX boot" where X is your HDD number and OSX partition number like my drive is on master and osx on 3rd partition ==> rdisk0s1 then enter and wait a few seconds
  • When it stalls again, you can reboot the computer and remove the DVD…with luck..SUCCESS!

 

Wireless

 

  • This was the hardest part. If you have the Intel 2200BG card, here's how it work.
  • With the iwi2200.zip file (Located HERE), extract it to the desktop.
  • Move the iwi2200.kext to /System/Library/Extension
    chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext
    chmod -R 755 iwi2200.kext
  • Move nsGUI.app & networkselector to /Application
    chown / chmod in same mode of iwi2200.kext
    reboot
    f8 / -v at darwin loader
  • When it comes back you, you'll have to go to Applications, open the Network Selector First. When the options come up it should look like this:

Wellcome to the insanelyMac SpacePort 0.1Adapter [mode: 0 led: off]Associated: 'linksys (00:06:25:10:18:11)' 1) Turn card off2) Network List 3) Switch led 4) Change mode5) Close Program 0) Refresh Enter Option:

  • Select option 1 to turn the card on ( I think it's off by default) then open nsGUI. The wireless icon should appear in the top right. Right click it and "Open Main Window" Select your network (Note: This will not work with WPA networks, nor open in MY experience for some reason)
  • In the even you never get an IP address and it just loops forever "Getting IP address" you'll need to do this next step.
  • Go to Network settings, System Preferences->Network. Click Add (+ button). on interface list should be 2x Ethernet (or 3x if you have 2xLAN & 1xIntel WIFI) you have to add correct one (after adding click advanced->ethernet to check ethernet MAC)If you find your WIFI card change to manual and fill text boxes with your ip, mask gate and dns.
  • That's it. Open Safari to test.

Tyler, Thanks very much for this little guide, it worked a treat for me on my D610..., I also have the same issue with the WiFi as yourself, not working with WPA :D

 

but for some reason, my LAN doesn't work either so I have no external connectivity, just wondering if you've experienced the same issue?

 

Regards,

Tim

He means you need to type that in Terminal.
