Howdy all, I have in my possession for a few days a Latitude 2120 netbook (I know its a Latitude only in name, but its a stellar little piece of hardware -- just crippled in the OS department, if you know what I mean). I've got a Mini 10v that runs SL and ubuntu that i've had since they first were hacked. I like the ruggedness of the 2120 (and the marginally added performance). Any ideas where to start down the path? Its a GMA3150 chipset from what I understand, and I know all the normal caveats about wifi... here's the info on the dell site: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/latitude-2120/pd?refid=latitude-2120&baynote_bnrank=1&baynote_irrank=0&~ck=baynoteSearch&isredir=true Thanks for any thoughts...

There went nuthin... KP's consistently now, looks like VoodooHDA, dependency IOAudioFamily. I can get it to boot into safemode, and i've rebuilt permissions, touched S/L/E, and completely re-run EDPtool. I did see a post somewhere that said they had gotten the WWAN card working when they fixed their audio problem, but at this point I'm stuck. So do I just rebuild? Thanks,

Then here goes nuthin...

Wow, thats a great link -- I can give the v720 a try. It is a Dell card, so I guess its an ericson... any idea how I could figure that part out? Since the drivers for the v720 are available for SL, what do you think the chance is they will work with Lion? Thanks!

Hey Bronxteck, thanks for the link -- I think I got the model # wrong in the post title... its the MC5720 (I'm hoping the Dell 5700 listed under Verizon is the one). If that is the case, any thoughts on next steps? I just looked under System Information and it is showing up under USB as: Novatel Wireless CDMA: Product ID: 0x8133 Vendor ID: 0x413c (Dell Inc.) Version: 0.00 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Novatel Wireless Inc. Location ID: 0x3a200000 / 2 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 100

Howdy, I've got my D830 (low-res intel) running solid with Lion and EDP 2.1. I came across a Verizon WWAN card and wondered if anyone had any luck getting on working in Lion. During research, I found reference to support on other Hackintoshed machines with Leopard (and possibly snow leopard). When I installed it in the D830, it KP'd the machine and I couldn't get it back no matter what, so i've reinstalled from the beginning and its back stable with the card installed, but it does not detect the card. Since the rebuild I have installed the SierraWatcher referenced on the WWAN page as I believe that card is a Sierra (though it might not be). Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thank you again for the help... just put in the 4311, booted into safe mode once, it picked it up, rebooted and we're golden. You guys rock the house. <m1sandman> my life in OSX: macbook (black, early 2006, Lion) macitude (Dell D620, Snow Leopard) HackPro (LifeHacker build) maclet (HP Tablet w/ working touchscreen, Leopard) HackMini (Dell Mini 10v, Snow Leopard) Lionized (Dell D830, Lion by OSXLatitude) MacStation (Dell Precision 490, waiting on parts)

I found this: BCM94311MCG - its not out of a dell -- toshiba, I think. Is that the same chipset as a DW1390?

Thanks for the reply... do I just swap out the card and it will get recognized automatically? Thanks! <m1sandman> my life in OSX: macbook (black, early 2006, Lion) macitude (Dell D620, Snow Leopard) HackPro (LifeHacker build) maclet (HP Tablet w/ working touchscreen, Leopard) HackMini (Dell Mini 10v, Snow Leopard) Lionized (Dell D830, Lion... mostly) MacStation (Dell Precision 490, waiting on parts)

Just to update, I reinstalled with it plugged into the ethernet and it didn't prompt for how to connect to the network this time, but still no joy on the 1395. If no one has any suggestions, I may see if i can order a 1390 since i've had good luck with those in the past (and it looks like it should work out of the box). If I do that, can I just install it and it will automatically show up, or do I need to mess with the Kexts at all?

Howdy all, I had an easy install with the instructions from "Install Lion on a supported machine", with one exception... My D830 has a Dell 1395 Wireless card and I can't seem to get it to show up at all. I've researched and tried: installing an earlier version from a working SL machine (no difference) During the initial setup wizard, when it asked how I was going to connect, only Modem and I'm not going to connect were the only options... I selected the latter. I may run through the install again and leave the ethernet plugged in and see if it makes a difference. Any other suggestions? Many thanks in advance... i'm looking forward to using this machine! <m1sandman> my life in OSX: macbook (black, early 2006, Lion) macitude (Dell D620, Snow Leopard) HackPro (LifeHacker build) maclet (HP Tablet w/ working touchscreen, Leopard) HackMini (Dell Mini 10v, Snow Leopard) Lionized (Dell D830, Lion... mostly) MacStation (Dell Precision 490, waiting on parts)
