kr4zyc1d Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 well the apple worked for me however the wifi now does not work, it's detected before.. what's the exact way to use Broadcom43XXFamilyrev2.kext? Hey Kill_mark, on page 8 I posted I think about it - I would use terminal to backup the original IO80211Family.kext and then use something like kexthelper to install the kext from that same post. If you need the file, let me know I can email it to you. once you boot, you will need to open network preferences and name the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckham_lkc Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Is there confirmed success with 10.7.2 on the D630? Yes. A bit tad slow and buggy though. It's still bearable nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLay978 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have Lion 10.7.2 installed on my Dell D630 x3100 running real good with only two minor problem. 1. Once boot into lion and the screen goes to sleep, once I wake it back up my internet won't work wifi and direct. 2. I can't switch my wifi on and off. If I wanted to use wireless I have to make sure the wifi switch is on once I boot into lion. Has anyone else have the same issue as me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedomrock Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 My D630 sleeps and wakes up running Lion 7.2. It took a few installs. I really have no idea why it started working. So no issues as you describe. I downloaded Lion from App store so I did not do an over the air upgrade to Lion. I am not sure if that matters. I installed using MyHack as described on the wiki. I used EDP 2.2 and the Extra folder from supported models. Good luck, Freedomrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertB Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Very True! see I forget little details sometimes. As for RobertB, we have the same setup but for those of you downloading this kext pack to try on your setup, that is a very important thing to know that you must have the same CPU as myself which is the T7300 2.0Ghz where I modified the DSDT for my CPU Setup. Good looking out Bronxteck! My D630 is working like a charm. I have seen that I have a T7500 cpu instead of the T7300. When I run a test and look at My Mac I see that it will read 2.0 Ghz instead of 2.2 Ghz. What do I need to change in the DSDT to make full use of my CPU? thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 11, 2012 Administrators Share Posted January 11, 2012 on d630 i think you shut off dynamic overclock in bios. or make sure smbios is not stating the wrong speed. if no speed mentioned in smbios then thats ok as the bootloader will inject it.

kr4zyc1d Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hey guys - I was updating my machine the other day and dual booting it with windows 7, so downloading drivers and what not for the video on Dell's website, and ran across a bios update! I saw they released A18 on 1/6/2012 and was curious to see if anyone had tried this yet. I have had bad luck in the past with the D630 dsdt patched bios so I'm sticking to Dell's standard right now, but just seeing if anyone was using that and saw any updates or if this is something to stay away from.
