Slice Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 What WWAN device do you have installed and with what driver? Why I see the message in kernel.log? Feb 17 21:14:14 MacDell kernel[0]: Can't load kext com.apple.driver.AppleWWANSupport - link failed. Feb 17 21:14:14 MacDell kernel[0]: Failed to load executable for kext com.apple.driver.AppleWWANSupport. Feb 17 21:14:14 MacDell kernel[0]: Kext com.apple.driver.AppleWWANSupport failed to load (0xdc008016). Feb 17 21:14:14 MacDell kernel[0]: Failed to load kext com.apple.driver.AppleWWANSupport (error 0xdc008016). Where is the kext? Is it invisible?

Administrators Leon Posted February 17, 2011 Administrators Share Posted February 17, 2011 I have this one: http://www.osxlatitude.com/groups/d4xosx/wiki/e89c8/WWAN_in_OSX_on_Dell_Latitude_D420D430.html I can use it in two ways: 1. Install the software 2. Right click on this CD/DVD icon and eject it and then it start to work natively.. What do you have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Leon Posted February 17, 2011 Administrators Share Posted February 17, 2011 Buy the one i have... This card have two operating modes "installation mode" .. and "app mode" When you boot the computer, its in "installation mode" .. you can see that by a CD/DVD drive icon on the desktop (its a small build-in flash memory that contains windows drivers).. once you eject that, it changes to "app mode" .. and in app-mode OSX have native support for the card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
