Yes! My mouse issues are resolved by using the latest Clover and Redoing the permissions and caches. Seems that i have intel time to go by a usb wifi dongle. I cannot seem to find the exact card within OS X. But, the ethernet it intel so i assume its the same for the WIFI.

did you try about this mac -> system report -> network>wifi?

 

either that, or you can just open up the service panel with a phillips (two screws) and ID the WLAN card.

You could check the Clover version during boot, on the lower right side.

Use DPCIManage.app to find your device.

Most Dell laptop comes with Intel, you could replace it with DW1560 by calling Dell support. It's roughly $20 with shipping.

It seems a trivial question - but I cannot figure out how to install clover directly into the EFI partition  :wacko:

 

This is my partition:

Although i have mounted the EFI partition (see above screen), but Clover installer can only see this:

When I proceeded, the installer created an EFI folder under El Capitan (which is located under the physical partition of 'Macintosh SSD'). To make clover update take effect, every time I have to manually copy (and replace) BOOT folder and other files over to EFI partition. Did I missed some steps in configuring Clover?  :huh:

Thanks to tluck on the other site. Use the following command to revert the root volume to a regular volume.

sudo diskutil corestorage revert /

Now the virtual disk is gone. And I have the good ol' physical disk.

This makes Clover installer installs directly into the EFI partition and overwrites only the parts one selected in the installer. No more manual copy afterwards. And only ONE /EFI to maintain.  :P

 

BTW, they just publish a newer version of Clover over at sourceforge.
