Hi Guys, Some updates here. I've tried every combination (forum.osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2945-guide-for-enabling-vga-and-hdmi-in-intel-hd4000-gpu/) for enabling VGA. I used a three connector setup and tried all the 0602 combinations (alter kext, rebuild, reboot, detect) until my fingers bled, but alas to no avail. Ended up ordering a mini-HDMI to VGA. Still this one itches, so I will look into it during the holidays. The Atheros 9280 arrived the other day. Work out of the box. I have excellent throughput, so I have the right antenna order. The old one/two ended up on the one/two on the Atheros. Third one was put aside with a piece of tape. I also have the WWAN DW5560. Ended up with three USB modems detected, but no WWAN. The DW5520 howto was not helping me out either. Anyone any pointers on that one? Or do I need to order another WWAN module. cheers, Martijn

Hi Gary, The Atheros AR9280 will take forever to arrive (stage coach from China), but I'll report back as soon as possible. Are you using strict 5GHz bands? Also will take a look in swapping the antennae if things don't work out. I'm using a MacBookPro9,2 definition in smbios. I read somewhere that the 8,x will provide better speedstepping, but I will have to look into that. I'm using a DSDT which was posted in this particular thread I believe and I created my own ssdt. Any hints are welcome. On another note. I'm trying to get the VGA working following instructions from https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2945-guide-for-enabling-vga-and-hdmi-in-intel-hd4000-gpu/ as I'm using the E6330 for presentations. Patching the kext en retrying is a somewhat elaborate process. Has anyone managed to get the VGA working? mini-HDMI works like a charm. regards, Martijn

So I've got the E6330 up&running on 10.8.5. Some questions regarding: * Do I need a Dell rebranded Wifi card? Ordered an Atheros AR5BHB92 AR9280 in a heartbeat last night on ebay, but I could have jumped the gun * The E6330 is somewhat battery hungry but I'm not picking up any unusual processes in the activity monitor. Any pointers on that one? great show, regards, Martijn

Hi there, Just out of curiosity. Is the Broadcom Smartcard Reader supported? Really would make my day. regards PS: Can confirm BIOS A11 is working.
