muranb Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Having a strange issue where my D630 with Intel wifi card will not boot when wifi is enabled in bios. I know this is a known thing during install and that wifi has to be turned off but should I not be able to boot with it enabled (I am dual booting with W8) once install is complete?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted April 2, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 2, 2013 then set the bios to use the switch on the side to control your wifi card. or manually shut it off in bios when booting osx or replace the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muranb Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 D630 with GMA X3100 graphics, Mac OS X Lion and Intel 3945 wifi card, right? Yep, right on. Soon to be replaced wifi card though (Boradcom Bcm94312mcg on the way) then set the bios to use the switch on the side to control your wifi card. or manually shut it off in bios when booting osx or replace the card. Yup, as above, wifi card to be replaced. In the meantime though, enabling the wifi in the bios and disabling with switch does not seem to work - boot always fails with system uptime message. I can boot with it enabled and it's not a huge inconvenience having to enable in bios when booting into W8, I just wondered if this was as it was meant to be with this config and I am guessing it is.

muranb Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just removed IO80211Family.kext from S/L/E and Lion now plays nicely even when wifi enabled in Bios. Will do for now as a workaround until new wifi card arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
