DellBoy Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Here is something else not working. I'm having a WiFi problem with a D830 (Nvidia). Basically the card isn't being recognised. The card works properly with Windoze 7 but not Hackintosh. This Hackintosh has a fingerprint reader but the others don't. Could that be the problem? I am using Snow Leopard 10.6.5 and EDP 3.44 but I'm not sure what kind of WiFi card is installed so there's a photo of it below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Syonagar Posted July 12, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2012 Dear dellboy, I looks like an intel wifi. It is not supported by os x. So you need to replace it with a supported broadcom wifi. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two D830s which came from different sources and they both have Intel cards. I shall try to source a couple of Broadcom ones. Thanks! Update - @Syonagar. I fitted a DW 1490 card this morning and WiFi is working perfectly. Now, if I can just sort out the sleep issue I'll be 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrown69 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Is anyone succeeded installing lion directly without having to install snow leo before? Can't install lion on my d830 nvidia 140m. Having all sort of problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Syonagar Posted August 20, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 20, 2012 Dear gbrown, If you have access to another os x machine you can run myhack from there without having to install snow leopard. Lion has two stage installation so the installer cant be boot directly from the app or retail usb. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx for the reply, i have an hp mini 311 with snow leo on it. that'S what i use to run myhack and prepare my flash drive. i've gone through the myhack process, also put the bootpack for the d830 nvidia but when installing, it ends up with an error message after partitioning disk with disk utility. it seems that as soon as the installer tries to start installing on the hard drive the message pop saying that if errors continue i'll have to reinstall. weird! i've successfully installed osx on various machines but this one is pain in the ***. I'll give it one more shot... ah! is it possible that the fact i use an 32 gb flash drive maybe the culprit? thanx for any help. gbrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
