tak0209 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hi Do you have a broadcom wifi inside, if yes, do rebranding with the steps on wiki and latest EDP it should working fine. Thanks guys for the quick response. Actually, I have a Dell E1505 1501 6400 Wireless WIFI DW1390 that I have replaced and it's working great with the initial install of 10.6.3 SL. I will try the EDP when I get a chance...I tried a lot of things and now it has kernal panic which I have no idea how to fix so it's re-install for the 15 times Are there any reading material for the noob... Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tak0209 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 just finish re-installed and updated to 10.6.8, applied EDP 1.9.2 and still no wireless...icon on top says No AirPort card installed. Do I need to install/update some kexts? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Make sure wireless is enabled in the BIOS, and the switch on the left side is on, Then go to Sys pref-- Network and see if the wireless card is recognized. In my laptop the Dell 1390 is even recognized by OSX installer. Here is how my Network looks : NK.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tak0209 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Andy, The wi-fi was working before the upgrade from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8. I did double check on BIOS and the button on the left side and they are set to ON. Which SL version are you running? I googled other site and someone mentioned about rebanding...what is that? Thanks.

Andy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Currently running 10.7.2 , but I had the DW1390 running in 10.6.0 and 10.6.8 as well without having to re-brand it. Look in here for rebranding: http://www.osxlatitude.com/rebranding-broadcom-802-11abgn-cards-as-airport-extreme/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
