Latitude 3540 El Capitan issues

[Jake Lo]

So the SD Card Reader is working?

Is the Display showing up as HD 4400 now or still HD 4600?

Sleep working?

Sleep with LID Close?

Wake with LID open?

SD Card is not working.  Although I see it in sys info I can not pull up the card.  Sleep seems to work fine. Left it for an hour - went off and I hit power button and came right back.  Just closed the lid and waited 15 minutes and it came back perfectly. Guess I should let go to sleep over night and see.  If I have a USB plugged in it barks about it not being unplugged properly - but only once.  Yes shows up as HD4400 and no more garbage when it boots, clean screen.

Okay so it looks like sleep mode is not working correctly. Not sure how it is actually supposed to work.  If I leave the lid down for longer than a few minutes, when I lift the lid it boots from clover menu but I left a terminal window open and it was still open when it started.  It does recover from display off mode when lid is up. But I have to hit the power button - space bar does not work.  If I select sleep from the apple menu and then hit space bar that works only for the first few seconds then I need to hit the power button for it to come back. 

 

the commands from the instructions do not work - hybernatemode is not a supported command.

I just ordered a DW1550 after realizing that the Bluetooth was part of the DW1510. Duh. Hopefully not to much work to get it up and running.

 

The non working SD card reader is a Realtek RTS5179 according to what is listed in Dell Support page for this specific service tag.

 

Thanks!

it's hibernatemode not hybernatemode.

 

DW1510 doesn't have Bluetooth, but DW1550 does.

Realtek SD card reader has no known working support as of yet.

Hi yes sorry typo - wasn't paying attention.  I finally received the DW1550 and have installed and working with windows 7 but not OS X. What are the next steps to get it working?

 

Thanks again!

download IORegistryExplorer. Launch it, click on file and save. 

Attach file here with your DSDT.

Patch your DSDT with this using MacIASL

#wifi_DW1550-RP04-PXSX.txt

into device label PXSX parent_label RP04 insert
begin
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
    If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n
    Return (Package()\n
    {\n
        "device-id", Buffer() { 0xa0, 0x43, 0x00, 0x00 },\n
        "vendor-id", Buffer() { 0xe4, 0x14, 0x00, 0x00 },\n
        "name", "pci14e4,43a0",\n
        "subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer() { 0x28, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00 },\n
        "subsystem-id", Buffer() { 0x17, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },\n
