According to OSx86 wiki this laptop should work very well if you swap out the wifi.

My question is has anyone able to replicate this or know who wrote the wiki? I tried it with 2x partition + usb install. After that the SL gets stuck at the gray apple screen. Using -v to boot I see it gets stuck on IOHIDEvent, right after it loads the realtek lan stuff. Please help
