i installed "Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2" after first problems with booting the system now works good.
But i have no Sound and no wired Network:
- Sound driver (ADI1981HD/ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio) - not working
- LAN (Broadcom 57xx) - not working

I have also installed on another Partition Tiger 10.4.9 and I use for sound the AzaliaAudio.kext and for LAN the AppleBCM5751Ethernet2.kext and it works.

My question is can i use the .kext from the 10.4.9 System to the 10.5.2 System?
- Is this depending on the Kernel?
- Where i get the 2 driver for 10.5.2 or can i make the driver self?

My specs:
HP Notebook NX6325 Mac
version 10.4.9 uphuck v1.3 Mac
version 10.5.2 AMD Zyph AMD
Turion™ 64 X2 TL-56 (1,8 GHz)
2 GB DDR2 / 667 ATI Radeon Express 1150
ATI SB400 S-ATA (60 GB HDD, DVD-RW)
Lan card (Broadcom 57xx)
Wireless card (Broadcom BCM43xx)
SoundMax (ADI1981HD)
Synaptics Touchpad 6

i installed the .kext driver from 10.4.9 Tiger

- AzaliaAudio.kext
- AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext

The lan driver AppleBCM5751 work but has no Mac address. So i set the Mac address manually in StartupItems with a script.
The Audio driver AzaliaAudio.kext will be loaded with no error but has the same problem like the 10.4.9 Tiger System. The mute button is always on - consequently no sound. The problem on HP Notebooks is known for me but there is no solution till this day.

Or has anyone a solution for the mute button?

i heard here are the best cracks in this forum!

Has no one a idea to solve the sound problem (mute button always on) on hp notebooks!
The sound card is working under OpenSuse Linux 10.3 perfectly!
