    No, just use VoodooHDA with HDADisabler (they come together). Leave the patched AppleHDA as is...
  2. Hervé
    I've got one and I'm the one who added it to the list, so I can tell you it works. But you'd probably get an internal half-mini PCIe card for cheaper...
  3. Hervé
    It may compile Ok of you set IASL version to v4.0
  4. Hervé
    No, you have no choice but to change that card. Supported cards literally cost peanuts on a well-known auction site...

    To edit your DSDT, you must first use IORegistryExplorer (or any other IOReg tool) to locate your wireless card; it's often found under a device called ARPT, but not always... Sometimes you can find it under a device PXSX of which there can be several instances. You must therefore identify the correct one! Once you've located the card in IOReg, make a note of the device it's registered against and the associated address. All you need to do then is find that device/address in your DSDT and add the DSM method detailed in the inventory thread. This avoids having to repatch the Info plist file of the wireless kext after each OS X update or new installation. Here's an example: In the IOReg, you can see the wireless card registered under device PXSX@0, itself under device RP05@1C,4. The Vendor/Product PCI ids in the right part of the screen confirms the hardware identification (168c,2a). In the DSDT, you can see a Device (RP05), located at address 0x001C0004 (matches RP05@1C,4 of IOReg) and under that RP05 device, a Device (PXSX) at address Zero (matches PXSX@0 of IOReg). You simply insert the DSM method under the _ADR line.

    BCM4313-based cards are unsupported. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-inventory-of-unsupported-and-supported-wireless-cards/ For Realtek, check driver support on their web site.

    MBP9,2 is much closer to the E6230 in terms of specifications than the MBA5,2. As such, things like CPU power management or AGPM can work a lot better for instance. OS X tends to handle these items on a model by model basis.

    Ok, so you have the D820 with nVidia Quadro NVS 120M. It'll run 10.6.8 (or 10.7.5) too. You need to remove and replace your Intel 3945ABG wireless card by a supported (mini-PCIe) one if you want wifi on your Hackintosh. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-inventory-of-unsupported-and-supported-wireless-cards/

    I just checked wikidevi and, indeed, DW1550 also has device id 43b1. The info I initially had in the wireless device table was therefore erroneous and I've corrected it. Unless you opt for Jake's suggested FakePCIID's approach, you'd need the DSDT patch to avoid patching the kext's info plist and you'd also need the binary kext to circumvent Mac model whitelisting if you want to use a SMBIOS other than MAB5,1. Normally, you'd want MBP9,2 SMBIOS on your E6230.

    Patched AppleHDA often brings lower max volume than VoodooHDA I'm afraid.
  11. Hervé
    If your device has id 43b1, then it's a DW1560, not a DW1550... Please carefully follow the published info on the matter (DSDT injection + BCM4360 kext patch against whitelisting).
  12. Hervé
    Look like we'll have to wait... Well, here's a pre-made USB-Injector that should work on the E6500 with the attached revised DSDT. E6500_USB_Injector.kext.zip patched_E6500_dsdt.aml.zip I also attach a E6500-oriented FakeSMC (+associated HWMonitor) that includes the AGPM tuning that should provide native CPU SpeedStep (With P & C States enabled in boot plist) + native GPU throttling. HWSensors_package_E6500.zip

    What kexts do you have in /Extra/Extensions?
  14. Hervé
    Which kext did you use? I'd expect you to use AppleBCM5751Ethernet kext as available in the D4x0 or D620 packs. The LAN card should be the same as in the D430/D620 but please post the output of Terminal command lspci -nn or a saved SysProfiler output to verify.
  15. Hervé
    That's only applicable to real Macs!

    Re: Wifi Check the channel capabilities of your card then compare with the channel(s) used by your box/router. You may also want to firmly set your connection to 2.4GHz or 5GHz, depending on wireless hardware capability. From personal experience, I've learnt that, unless I used different SSIDs for the 2.4GHz network and the 5GHz network, the card often got confused and could behave sporadically temperamental. Since using a different SSID on the 5GHz network, the card has behaved perfectly and up to the expected performance. Re: Graphics Are you sure you have full graphics acceleration? You probably don't have a CD/DVD drive so you can't run DVDPlayer to check out its supported features but you can check the SysProfiler. The graphics animation you've mentioned should definitely be smooth.
  17. Hervé
    You run IORegistryExplorer, save the output to file then post it. We now need to patch your DSDT and create the necessary USB injector kext to get all of your USB ports working. Please confirm the SMBIOS profile you used as that is an integral part of the USB injector.
  18. Hervé
    Woaw, where on earth did you dig that pack from? And this worked from SL to Yos? Get rid of: old SL 10.6.7 AppleACPIPlatform kext (v1.3.5), it's only required for Lion and ML AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer kext, I think it's the old GMA950 brightness fix DisableTurboBoostBattery kext, that's only for SandyBridge CPUs and beyond, not applicable to C2D, C2Q or Arrandale CPUs OSXRestart kext, that's ancient DellBluetoothHCI kext, I very much doubt you'd need that Patched_10.7_AppleRTC kext, you should not need this any more I also recommend you use MacBookPro5,1 SMBIOS, rather than MBP5,3. In your boot plist: enable P-States generation enable C-states generation enable kernel cache enable System Type and set it to laptop kernel specification is unnecessary but will do no harm add the CsrActiveconfig=3 using TextEditor this way <key>CsrActiveConfig</key><string>3</string> or this way <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>CsrActiveConfig=3</string> ` Once you're set, we'll change your FakeSMC to a more recent and fully tuned version that will provide native CPU SpeedStep + AGPM GPU throttling. We'll sort out the USB2.0 ports too because they probably won't all work to begin with.

    The DSDT change for USB devices is highly unlikely to cause the KP but it would help if you could specify what the KP shows. Which boot loader are you using? If sticking with Chameleon, you need to use the Enoch branch (r2795 being the latest at time of writing) and add the boot option CsrActiveConfig=3 (or any other desired value) into your /Extra/o.c.B.plist to disable SIP. By default, Enoch will not load kexts placed in /Extra/Extensions unless you specify boot option KernelBooter_kexts=Yes. This option and other kernel related options are meant to go into a kernel.plist file placed in /Extra. The alternative is to place your kexts (and only your kexts) in /Library/Extensions, repair their permissions and rebuild the cache. SMBIOS + o.c.B. plist remain in /Extra as does the DSDT and any other Chameleon-related files.
  20. Hervé
    Make sure to disable SIP and apply the kernelPm Enoch boot option...

    This model seems quite similar to Precision M4800. You could possibly try the special SMBIOS required for the M4600. It's available here. No guarantee though...
  22. Hervé
    M6800 shares the same specifications as M4800, except GPUs and screen size (Quadro K3100M/K4100M/5100M vs. Quadro K1100M/2100M, 17.3" LCD vs. 15.6" LCD). The rest is totally identical (add-on & optional hardware accessories excluded of course)).

    I'm not sure you've understood... Use this: https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh

    I don't have battery life issue. My systems (including my Haswell-based E6440) are tuned and run on SSDs... This being said, I've never measured battery life on the E6440 between Win and OS X but I think they're roughly the same (around 4hrs). Win7 runs off a 2.5" SATA-III SSHD, OS X off a mSATA SSD in the combo slot. As a 1st element of comparison, here's a sample of what Win7 and El Capitan individually report : Slightly longer life in OS X is probably due to mSATA SSD vs. SSHD (with mechanical parts and motor) for Windows. I'm not disabling Turbo boost when running on battery. NB: Battery is Dell 97WHr, 9 cell, model CRT6P. No need for any AICPUPM patch on Haswell platforms. CPUPM is handled by the kernel for those, hence the need to patch it but AICPUPM can stay totally vanilla.

    Please consult the Asus support web site before posting. Everyone is expected to do a minimum research effort, not just rely on permanent spoonfeeding... http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/WL167g/HelpDesk_Download/ We've got a substantial list of supported/unsupported wireless card in the R&D->wireless section, please consult it too. The forum has a search facility, please use it. Thanks.
