Tried that and when going to diagnostics and then WiFi is grayed out. I also have in there a Huawei EM700U card and back when I had it in a Dell D620 with I believe 10.5 or 10.6 that actually worked with a SIM card. I may just have to buy a DW1510 if that will work OOB.

It does show up but there is no WiFi when trying to add. I wonder if it's that fix that didn't end up taking that 3rd command MacBook-Pro:~ Paul$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/libexec/airportd Password: MacBook-Pro:~ Paul$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/libexec/airportd MacBook-Pro:~ Paul$ sudo chown 0:0 /usr/libexec/airportd MacBook-Pro:~ Paul$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/libexec/airportd xattr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/libexec/airportd' MacBook-Pro:~ Paul$

It's not seeing the device in the network preferences

Yes the Dell DW1397 Half Mini PCIe If only it would work, I thought it was in the list of supported cards.

That's okay I may get one of those models but my WiFi doesn't work now as it is. Any idea's to get that? It's the last thing left on this bad boy

Have it running the fix now so I'll reboot after that. No the WiFi doesn't show up at all but bluetooth does. Battery is showing now, still no WiFi though. So I run the file, airportd, and then run the commands you gave me and that's it? The light for WiFi is also on and the switch is in the on position. With that one you sent me the sleep no longer works but I have battery percentage. Strange On a side note can this be updated to 10.9 or will that break everything?

I got the screen shot uploaded. Not sure on the battery and the WiFi command wouldn't go. I'm sure you could fix it in a few minutes, . Teamviewer Booting with -f flag does nothing for battery.

First 2 commands took not the 3rd. MacBook-Pro:~ Paul$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/libexec/airportd xattr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/libexec/airportd' On the battery you click show in status bar it clicks really quick then disappears and it stays at 0% all the time in this menu. Not sure why I can't upload a screen shot here but linked it to drop box

I can't copy the file to the folder it's not there and I can view hidden folders but can't open them.

Found this but I really don't want to mess anything up.

I actually went with the Dell DW1397 Half Mini PCIe 14e4-4315 BCM4312 B/G Y Y Y1 Y2 N (same as DW1395) I'll check that out. Also is there a way to get the battery percentage to work? Sorry I know I'm a pain if I could buy you a few beers for all the help I would

Sleep works, I found a WiFi card that is compatible and I'm going to swap out the webcam from my other E6520 tomorrow so I should have a nice working laptop after all this. Thanks for all your help, do I need to do anything special to get the WiFi card going? Dell DW1505 Mini PCIe 14e4-4328 BCM4321 A/B/G/N Y Y Y Y2 Y

Thanks, I may have some spare ones laying around. Everything seems to be working. Not sure if sleep will work and also not sure how to change the bootloader so it automatically boots into the OS and I don't have to hit enter on the keyboard. You've been very helpful I wonder if this will work in a docking station so I can use it at work.

Okay well decided to run the EDP tool and config and custom build and then did the "do build" and it went through it's thing I rebooted and video is not all choppy and I have sound also.

Did all that and same results. Last login: Tue Apr 15 22:46:47 on console Pauls-MacBook-Pro:~ Paul$ lspci -nn lspci: Cannot find any working access method.

I'm not sure on the is lspcidrv.kext not loading in Extra/Extension. I ran the extra from myhack and selected the folder and hit open and it did it's thing. Is there a file in the extra folder I select or just open the folder? I was on the right track with the iMessage I'll have to check that next.

Is iMessage supposed to work on this?

I'm back up and running and did not run the EDP this time. I did point to the Extra folder on the USB drive during installation. Do I need to do that again? Seems as if the video is a little laggy.

Everything installed fine this time. At the end I got installation failed though but it still booted up after I rebooted (I think I read somewhere it may do this). Anyway I plugged it into the ethernet because WiFi wasn't working and download and ran the EDP app. Went to reboot and it won't boot now. I did the "build my own" per the instructions and selected 6520 without NVidia because I didn't see the 6420 without NVidia as an option. Well back to square one but hey I'm further than before. Not sure what WiFi card is in there, probably Dell or Intel I'd assume

I was trying with the -v flag. I'l try the extra file from your attachment and see how it goes. I was using the one in your signature but I believe that is for the 2620m

The bootpack was from this site. Tried the one from your signature on 10.8.5 and no luck. It doesn't get to the install portion. Yes I loaded bios defaults and set SATA to AHCI

I tried both 10.8 and 10.9. I'll give it a shot though and see what happens
