moonman Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I bought a couple DW1395 cards off ebay really cheap, thinking they'd work out of the box like the 1390. But no go. They absolutely would not be recognized under Snow Leopard in a D620, D430 and D420. I didn't have the time to try rebranding. Luckily I found some Broadcom kexts on the web at osx86.net. These are the Broadcom43XXFamily kexts and they work perfectly with the DW1395. Once I installed them, I rebooted and the card was recognized immediately and connected automatically. I don't know if it's appropriate to post the link, but the download is at osx86.net. There are two files, I installed the Broadcom43XXFamily (not the rev2) kexts. Placed file Broadcom43XXFamily.kext in /Extra/Extensions, ran Kext Wizard, rebooted and everything worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curious4mac Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am new to hackintosh and have a D830 and had problems with setting up DELL 1395 which has a BCM4312 chip I solved the problem with the above kext. I found that the kext BroadcomFix also works ... I installed 10.6.3 and then upgraded to 10.6.8 now ... the link to the kext .... http://www.osx86.net/view/1821-broadcomfix.kext.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonman Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=972 Yes, that's the one. I used the first Family.kext, not the rev2. Worked perfectly on reboot with a D430 and a D620, using Snow Leopard. Just drag the kext into /Extra/Extensions, run Kext Wizard (including in the download) to repair permissions and rebuild Extra cache, then reboot.
