I updated to 10.8.2 a few days ago, no problems. The installer did the failure message thing, but it was successful.

 

Thats good to know - I was slightly scared to update to 10.8.2 as its rather different to the 10.8.1 update.

Hello! thanks for this tutorial, so I could install successfully but the wifi does not work, do not know where to download the driver, I installed something wrong?

 

regards

 

Which wifi card have you got? Some Dell's come with intel wifi cards rather than dell ones, and the intel ones dont work with OS X.

The Dell 1390 wireless card is known to work; it's what I'm using this very moment. I think most of the Dell-branded cards will work, too.

DW1390 works out of the box

DW1490 idem (but can give much poorer performance)

DW1395 works with non-EDP provided kexts or modified 80211 kext

 

There are several posts on the Wifi matter with details of supported models.
