Administrators Hervé Posted November 6, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 6, 2014 The WWAN slot can take a full-size card. It's clearly visible at the right of the 1/2-size card on the pictures in Jake's link. You can use it for a full-size WLAN card too (and probably for a 1/2-size card as well if it's anything like the E6440). Depending on your exact E5440 model (basically if you have nVidia GPU or not), the WWAN slot should support PCIe (WLAN), SATA (mSATA) and USB (WWAN). To give you an example: my E6440 was delivered with an Intel wireless/BT card. The E6440 has 1x1/2-size WLAN slot, 1x1/2size WWAN slot and 1xfull-size combined slot (clever use of space under the bottom cover: horizontal 1/2-size, vertical full-size). That full-size slot supports PCIe, SATA and USB modes. I left the Intel card in place and inserted a good old DW1490 in the full-size slot. I immediately obtained OOB wifi connectivity.

serotizm Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 I have bought USB bluetooth and Wifi dongles. I prefered USB, so I'll be able to use them if I change my computer later. WiFi: Blueotth: Trust 18187 Works out of the box. WiFi: Zyxel NWD2205 (RTL8192U chipset). This has drivers for Maverics. But it also works for Yosemite. The package you download from Zyxel website does not install on Yosemite. I have downloaded from here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgexgb Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi Serotizm, Im on the same situation as you. I have an E5440 and Im trying to install Yosemite. Can you share the Bootpack, kexts, dsdt, etc... files that worked for you? And any advice? My e5440 has an intel graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serotizm Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hi jorgexgb; You can download Clover EFI contents from here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80635349/EFI.zip If you're using Chameleon, all you need CLOVER/kexts/10.10 ACPI/PATCHED contents. While booting, you need to use below kernel options: PCIRootUID=1 if it doesn't work, add USBBusFix=Yes too. For intel card, you need to use nv_dlsable=1 After install, boot manager gave me errors. To fix that, I needed to boot from installation CD again and run below command from terminal: dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2 Before install, you need to patch Yosemite Kernel: https://racerrehabman.wordpress.com/2014/10/18/yosemitehaswell-kernel-patch-for-early-reboot/ After install, you need to copy patched kernel to your drive or it won't boot. That was all I think. If you get any errors, please write. I'll try to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgexgb Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks JakeLo and Serotizm for all the help. I've uploaded a guide with the details on how it worked for me. Hope this helps someone out there!! https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7539-yosemite-installation-guide-latitude-e5440-intel-i5-clover-uefi/ Regards, jorgexgb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 4, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2014 Nice guide, but why is the image of an HP and not your Dell E5440? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
