Thanks for all the help guys, I ordered an AR5BXB112, installed it and reverted back to the OS's original kext file from my install dmg and now my wifi is working correctly. Now if I could only get iTunes to stop freezing everything should be working perfectly. Again thanks for everything guys really, you got me out of the dark and got me running correctly and that would have been hard to figure out on my own.

I did look at the list. Where you you think I came up with the dw1490? I'm asking will this be a good fit for my computer?

I reinstalled my mavericks airportd file and I can see my networks again but I still get the same error. I am really stumped, I have been trying every kext and airportd I can find or think of. The kext doesn't seem to be my problem the only thing that changes anything is the airportd file and that only makes things worse. Only other thing I can think to do at this point is upgrade my wireless card to something that is know to work. Anyone got any suggestions? I was thinking of the dw1490???

Thanks tried that the error went away but I still have the same problem?? Try to select a network in the bar and I get the rainbow wheel.

Thanks the performance and tuning seems to have helped the overheating issue, but my wifi problem has gotten worse. I installed ML airportd and went to terminal and when i type in the last command I get this error message every time xattr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/libexec/airportd' and now I can't even see my networks all I get when I try to select it in the bar is the rainbow wheel.

I'll give that a read thanks

Sorry I meant to post all that information originally and forgot. XPS M1530, Bios A12, C2D T9500 2.6GHz, 4Go DDR2-667, 256 MB nVidia GeForce 8600M, 1TB 5600 RPM Western Digital HD, Dell Wireless Mini Card 1395, Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth. I know I more than likely gave you more than you need, but if there is any other info you need please let me know.

Hello all I am new to the forum so please don't beat me up too bad lol. I have just finished installing Mavericks to my M1530 (my first Hackintosh) and for the most part is a fairly stable install, but i do have problems. I have noticed that my cooling fan will run, fairly fast I may add, but my system still overheats and shuts down the computer, I have already cleaned the fan to no avail. Here is the part that is confusing me, I do not have overheating issues if I run in safe mode, and the fan runs much much slower in safe mode, and I can feel a difference in the temperature when I put my hand on the bottom of the computer. I was hoping some one could help me, I have searched and search for a solution and everything I have tried hasn't worked. On another note the other problem I'm having is with the airport utility, it will detect my network, but when I type in my password it says "Connection Failed" I have tried deleting com.apple.airport.preferences.plist, NewworkInterfaces.plist, and preferences.plist among a few other things like different kexts files for my wireless card but nothing is working, my card is apparently working but it will not allow me to connect. I appreciate the help in advance guys, this is driving me nuts, hopefully someone can help me. I would hate to have come this far for it to not work.
