    Hi

    I got OS X working on my AAOD150 today, but now i have some problems with getting Ethernet, sound and so on to work.
    The stuff i need to get to work is:
    SD-Card reader
    Internal Microphone
    Sound Card
    Ethernet
    Wifi, either original WIFI card or a Intel 3945card?
    Hyper-threading, i am currently using the Darwin 9.6.0 Kernel, with the CPUS=1 in com.apple.Boot.plist, do i need another kernel or what?
    VGA-out
    Sleep/Standby function.
    The version of OS X i am using is 10.5.6.
    I have never used a Mac before, so i am a beginner, but i have used linux for a couple of years, but mostly running with MS BSOD Xp/Win7.

    Best regards
    Morten

    Ps, if anyone have any questions about my install i will gladly write some more about it.

    Hi again

    Well i got OS X up and running, now i just want to get the other stuff to work.
    Is it really necessary to completely reinstall the system using the IDeneb install?
    Or can apply the mods to my XxX OS X 10.5.6?
    The thing i want the most is sound and WIFI.

    Best Regards
    Morten

    Seriously, you need to swap the wifi card. I fought for so long to get the Atheros working, but no-go. £15 will get you a DW1390 on ebay. Kext installs are fully documented in various places, I'll try and dig some links out.

    Hello,

    The Dell DW 1490 or 1390 card are maybe the best solution for replacement. You could also take a look at viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3193&start=0 and see other alternatives including USB wifi adapters.
