Moderators Jake Lo Posted June 18, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 18, 2013 Here are a couple of pages I followed to get mine working: http://prasys.info/2009/12/rebranding-broadcom-802-11abgn-cards-as-airport/ The original how to here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/121293-rebranding-broadcom-based-80211bgn-cards/?p=863983&do=findComment&comment=863983 and: http://legacy.tonycrapx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=28484 for my specific card the DW1510 Jake Lo might be able to give more info and maybe a tutorial on how to for the DW1510. I used prasys instructions to rebrand the my card DW1510. The card works OOB but it just look nicer after rebranding it. Rebranding a card basically changes the vendor and product ID to one that's on Apple's Whitelist and sees it as an Airport Extreme. All encryption supported.

Administrators Hervé Posted June 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks for the info guys. As a matter of fact, the report of the DW1510 not working OOB turned out as a red herring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Vreeken Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Rebranding the card can also enable air-drop (which if it is unbranded it can not from my understanding) Also, make sure to check that the region code is set to USA (0x001) (Something a lot of people have misslooked when rebranding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertostudios Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 James, I also have Mavericks on my E6430, except mine has HD4000 only. I noticed that the battery status doesn't show up and looking at your screenshot, it's not appearing on yours either. Tried different DSDT floating around for the E6430 with or with nvs5200m. I noticed if I use yours, I get audio but no battery. When I used another, I get battery, but no audio. Weird! So I decided to drop the patched AppleHDA and use VoodooHDA instead along with the DSDT that gives me battery status. Just wondering if you have looked into this as well. Screen Shot 2013-06-16 at 2.35.13 AM.png Hi! My 6430 is only HD4000 like yours. You HDMI out working without docking station? If yes please post you Extra folder for 10.9 if it does not work you could also link it? Many, Many Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes please post you Extra folder for 10.9 if it does not work you could also link it? Many, Many Thanks! HDMI does work. Use the Extra folder from my installation guide here. It's for ML, but works just fine for Mavericks too. Remember to add the switch -f to your boot.plist as posted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy the whole Extra folder to Mavericks and run myfix on it. Here, try mine if you want to see if works better.
