HaseeMac Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi, all I am a fresh man to OSXLatitude. Here i met a issue about wifi. I installed the Moutain lion 10.8.4 and use the AR9285 wlan card. The wifi can work well in my OS. However, I must press "Fn + F2" to turn on wifi each time. My question: Can i do this action (turn on wifi without press Fn + F2 manually) by using DSDT? Any help is highly appreciated. My DSDT: DSDT.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted July 9, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 9, 2013 Shame, it sounds like you have a laptop and wireless services can often be set to activated/disabled from BIOS. What system are we talking about here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted July 9, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 9, 2013 I think the motherboard is irrelevant, I was hoping to get details like make and model of your laptop to see if there was something doable via BIOS. But if Wireless enabling/disabling is not do-able from system BIOS, then yes, I guess a DSDT edit might be the thing to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that I missed something important which can prove I have enabled my wifi via biso. Please refer to the attached Image at #1. The DSDT is also put there. Would you please take a look at my DSDT? Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted July 16, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2013 well on some machines you have to tape pin 20 of the wlan card. as for dsdt i dont think so. i know you want a simple solution as would i but hacking sometimes involves just that.
