Make sure to use a SSDT created for your own Sandy bridge CPU, do not use a SSDT table generated for another CPU model.

It only seems to be difficult with the combination of Clover and UEFI mode. I've never had any issues with Chameleon/Enoch and legacy mode on Sandy Bridge or Haswell-based models such as E6220, E6320, E6420 or E6440.

Oh well, with a little 5min search, here you are: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_WNA1000M http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true Use the 10.8 package. If the app won't run due to OS X version difference, just extract the kexts from it or modify the Info.plist of the app so that it matches your OS version.

We have a non-exhaustive list of supported/unsupported wireless devices here. The NetGear USB dongle that was tested and reported (by me) is the WNA3100M. You've mentioned a WNA1000M, can you post the PCI device id to identify the chip it's built on? This will greatly assist in establishing whether it is supported or not under OS X and finding the eventual driver. If the laptop is fitted with a RealTek RTL8111 LAN card, you may try the 10.7 drivers posted on their support web site.

Your /S/L/E folder is empty, i.e. the kext files are not written to the USB installer. But I see a lot more is missing in /System/Library... I'd say you either missed a step in the procedure or there is something very wrong with the installation package you're using or the process you're following.

None that was discussed or reported here... Please post your M6700 hardware specs (exact CPU model, graphics, audio, LAN, wireless, bluetooth, card reader, etc. Battery, RAM, DVD, we don't care). I suspect it'll be close to the M4700 for which I've seen an existing thread listing an Ivy Bridge CPU and some unsupported discrete AMD GPU. This meant only the integrated Intel HD4000 GPU could work. But, on paper, this kind of laptops can theoretically run Mavericks 10.9, Yosemite 10.10 or El Capitan 10.11. Mountain Lion 10.8 is a bit old and obsolete these days...

Yes, PCs with Sandy and Ivy Bridge CPUs require AICPUPM kext to be patched to avoid kernel panic. Using NullCPUPM voids the vanilla AICPUPM that causes the panic.

Please provide your own E5520-specific hardware specs for items that may vary such as wireless card and bluetooth module. LAN, audio, graphics, are all already known.

Erm... You browse through the USB key file system! I assume you know how to tick the case to display disks in Finder preferences, right?

Ideally, LAN interface should be en0 and wifi en1. This to prevent issues with AppStore, FaceTime, etc. You can easily fix that by deleting the interfaces from Network PrePane and all the plist from /Library/System/Preferences, reboot and let the system auto-discover/install the network elements.

Dual booting has extensively been discussed on the forum; please use the Search facility before posting.

Please read existing threads and articles on "performance tuning" or Pokenguyen's AIO guides at IM. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2673-performance-tuning-with-fakesmc/ http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298027-guide-aio-guides-for-hackintosh/?do=findComment&comment=2019604 Then, there is the existing X201 power management literature on this forum. Eg: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7756-x201-power-managment/ This being said, your CPU speed stepping appears to work Ok since your 1st screenshot shows a CPU speed of 2.0GHz with a x15 multiple (which is a correct speed/multiplier arrangement on your Arrandale CPU) and an average CPU speed of 1.43GHz...

Nothing new; all security updates are like OS version/combo updates: they re-instate vanilla kexts + kernels. As such all Sandy + Ivy Bridge systems need to repatch/replace AICPUPM and all Haswell systems need to replace the kernel with the patched one after this new security update.

From what kind of system do you use that Carbon Copy image?

You sure it's not the Haswell CPU reset? You need the Haswell-patched kernel...

Initial issue obviously solved. Please open up a separate thread if you have issues. However, most matters have long been discussed wide and large for these D Series laptops, so please use the Search forum facility and read up existing threads beforehand to try and find an existing solution.

The old Protector Suite software worked fine with older Latitude D Series + Precision M Series laptop up to Snow Leopard (those laptops use a totally different fingerprint scanner hardware then the E Series though). For Lion and ML, you had to switch to Authentec TrueSuite software. When Apple released Mavericks, TrueSuite support was affected and I remember reading that login through finger scanning no longer worked. Authentec was bought by Apple in July 2012, then all support and software development ceased at the end of that year. I can't say if TrueSuite would install or run in recent OS X versions such as Mav/Yos/EC or if it would support the BCM5880 chip (though I doubt it) but there's only one way to know I guess... http://web.archive.org/web/20130306124038/http://support.authentec.com/Downloads/Mac/TrueSuite.aspx

What else but a dark screen would you expect with an unsupported webcam?

You should probably generate your own SSDT that suits your own CPU rather than maybe reuse an existing file from somewhere. This will allow you to optimise CPU speed stepping in collaboration with SMBIOS profile and to enjoy better Turbo boost too.

Caution: the Chameleon boot plist goes in /Extra, not in /Extra/Extensions...

For FaceTime, it'll work (without camera) as long as you have an active en0 LAN interface (whether a real and supported LAN card or the fake Ethernet).

If you want to use the power button to put your D630 Hackintosh to sleep, press it down 2 to 3 seconds. The screen will go to sleep, there will be some disk activity for a few seconds, then the laptop will go to sleep and the power LED fade in and out. The alternative to put your D630 to sleep is Fn-Esc or close the lid. This does require that you disable hibernation beforehand (and removing any sleep image from /var/vm is also required to avoid issue on reboot). If your computer is asleep with lid opened, press PWR button to wake it.

Like for most (if not all) USB devices, there are no kexts for this piece of hardware. If your laptop has a fingerprint scanner based on this device, it can only be used under OS X through a supporting software. Finding such software has remained a problem to this day... NB: Some laptops also have a Broadcom BCM5880 device listed in their USB hardware without necessarily having a fingerprint scanner physically fitted to the computer, it's the built-in Integrated Secure Applications Processor chip:

Guys please keep the thread to its topic or create new ones.
