ovi1 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 hmm... i know what i would do.. just replace the card..but hey.. thats me how about if you boot into osx with it disabled, replace the network kext from mariusz's post and reboot with wifi enabled ? i am not sure if it's a replaceable card, i thought this was integrated to the mother board. will look into it if the experiment with Maruisz's kext does not work out. I will try his dsdt as well because my native keyboard does not work. so i got ehternet, mousepad, audio and the 10.7.2 update all working. wireless and kb do not work and blue tooth i dont know how to test (and don't really care if it works or not... ) I appreciate the help.

ovi1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Nada - Mariusz's kexts did not help. kb and wifi still dead in the water. got me a new 4312 off ebay for $8.80 - no brainer, too bad it may take two weeks to get to me. The ethernet card seems to work so I hold on to that. For a while there, while I was flailing with Maruisz's kexts, my native kb came alive - went dead again after a reboot - dont know what i did to get it to work or kill it meanwhile, i will try to get the dual boot to work...

Administrators Leon Posted January 29, 2012 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2012 You are using EDP.. right ? (just double checking) ... and your keyb is set to PS2 in bios ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovi1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 EDP - yes, answers 1 6 1 n y (but tried non-apple kb selection too). There's no kb selection in A17 that I can find - went through it so many times. PS/2 is mentioned in a number of places but neither is in connection to keyboard. It is mentioned as a parallel port protocol (non-factory-default). It is mentioned in mouse-keypad setups (POST). But nothing on KB. I wonder how A17 BIOS will interact with the new wifi module i will be plugging in. I hope this does not lead to flashing the BIOS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariusz Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Just to sum things out. - don't waste your time on intel wifi (hope the broadcome will come soon) - load default bios settings - double check if AHCI is enabled. The lack of KB problems are bizarre. It seems to me You might be having others kext's laying here or there. Delete all ApplePS2* VoodooPS2* and related in /S/L/E, clean all system caches, boot with -f option (to test it out) and if Your Keyboard is not malfunctioning it must work! If this won't help, there is one more thing that You can do : Downgrade bios to A09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovi1 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 thanks, will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovi1 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 bios back to default minus: boot order (needs to boot off the pen) AHCI enabled Wifi is off there were no ApplePS2* VoodooPS2* in S/L/E. don't know what you mean by 'related'. there was ApplePS2keyboard.kext in /Extra/Extensios - moved it someplace safe, ran the kext wizard and rebooted -f and same result - kb not playing... i am concerned that backing to A09 may bring with it some other 'surprises'. Should I try now to swap your 2 kext's into my S/L/E ? (last time i tried it my machine would not boot, had to reboot into pen, and put back the orig's...)

Mariusz Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 In your case by related I meant AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext. Those two kext's are not keyboard related they are for GMA X3100 and Broadcome WiFi Remove the Intel WiFi - I'm allergic And try this: 1. Download EDP2.2 again and install it (just to be sure nothing is corrupted) - configure it again 2. In terminal: sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/* sudo mv /Extra/Extensions /Extra/KextStore sudo rm /Extra/Extensions.mkext 3. In Kext Wizard: check "Rebuild cache" and Execute 4. Reboot and report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
