AngelAyala Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 First are you installing Snow Leopard (10.6) or Mountain Lion (10.8)? Second, which wireless card is in your machine - Intel cards are not supported in OSx and will need to be replaced, or you will need to use a wireless adapter. Just unscrew the back cover, remove and the wireless card is visible (the one with two leads connected to it, one white and one black). Let us know what it says or post an image of it. 1. Sorry I did install 10.6 and not 10.8, I realize my mistake now and also realize I am in the wrong place for 10.6 Considering that the system is up and running with everything working except for wifi I think I may just try to resolve the issue and continue using 10.6 which I have updated to 10.6.8. (unless you think getting ML on here would be better) 2. DW1397 is the wireless card I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 I have been very happy with Mountain Lion, but if you are happy with Snow Leopard, so be it. Hervé has compiled a great list of working cards along with needed kexts here: http://forum.osxlati...ards-inventory/ Use the Broadcom kext listed and you should be good to go. Kext is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8zvpa722gqjdzdx/BCM4312+Fix.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway. Thanks for the link you provided. I believe I already had that kext but I found that I needed to fix permissions. I only realized this after seeing your post. You have been most helpful. I am now connected wirelessly. Thank you thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvinko Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Presumably, you used MyHack. I find the best way to minimize issues is the go into MyHack (If you didn't know, it's been installed in your applications folder). Enter password, (make sure to check the proper drive), run MyFix (Full version) whenever you make changes to the system, including updates and kexts. Takes a few minutes, but saves time in the long run. Glad to hear of your success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD CARD READER: Download and install VooDooSDHC.kext.zip in E/E, run My Fix from here: (http://forum.osxlati...h&attach_id=844) I was hoping this is the answer to my sd card issues? I can get the card to initialize but not format. Do you know if this file would help and also do you know where I can find it since the link is dead.

Second, the E6400 (which is what this guide is written for) and the E6410 have different architecture (components) and the install of OSx is implemented differently. Please refer to the thread for the E6410 written by Patel4Prez to install OSx on your machine located here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1695-e6410-mountain-lion-guide/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
