elim Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I got it work again by unplugging UTP and for some strange reason it picked up my Wifi again. Have you tried this yet Elim: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1210-dw1395-wifi-card-working-with-broadcom43xx-kexts/ I downloaded Broadcom43XXFamily.kext and Broadcom43XXFamilyrev2.kext, copied Broadcom43XXFamilyrev2.kext into Extra/Extensions, reboot, no good; then copied Broadcom43XXFamily.kext there, reboot, my mouse frozen. Then I boot to usb installer, using terminal there to delete the whole /Extra, reinstalled EDP1.9, saved the system, using kext util to install Broadcom43XXFamilyrev2.kext, still no luck. Should I do a refresh install and install that kext rightaway, make sure wifi work before update the os to 10.6.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 1, 2012 Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2012 if you add kexts to E/E you also need to rebuild your .mkext in using snow leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elim Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 yeah sounds it's very messed up somehow. Try reinstall. Definitely. What wifi card in your D430? When in the install/update procedure did you add the kext? What version of EDP do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elim Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 if you add kexts to E/E you also need to rebuild your .mkext in using snow leo You mean run edptool.command or something else? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Syonagar Posted March 2, 2012 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi elim.. You can run edptool.command to rebuilt kext caches in S/L/E and /E/E. I prefer to use kext utility. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted March 2, 2012 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2012 i think in edp is option>1 then option>a rebuild from existing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elim Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Broadcom BCM4311 (that's what the IC says), can't find the DELL designation. However BCM4311 is a DW1395. I used EDP 1.9 .. and then upgraded to 1.9.2 My card printed as DW1395 on its back, but [system Info] app says it's BCM4312 (NOT BMC4311!!!). Maybe that difference causes one work and the other doesn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that difference causes one work and the other doesn't... I have snow leopard 10.6.8 dual booting with WinXP sp3 on my D430 U7700 now. Wifi is working fine with XP but sadly not on OSX. I still not sure if there is any one have exact version/model of my wifi card successfully suing it with OSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
