Hi I have a Realtek RTL8192E PCI-E a/b/g/n Wireless card that doesn't seem to work.

I've tried kext hacking the RTL8187SEl.kext via device id editing and when I kextload the file it doesn't do anything. Maybe its because the kext itself has too much options and configurations in the info.plist that Realtek itself only knows what it is.

EX: CWinMaxMin
     <String>1</string> 
 Realtek_Com_Reg 
(And it lists a whole bunch of complex options for me)
If you want me to list more info for the info.plist I will gladly do so.

My device id is 0x819210EC and when it is scanned by PCIUtils (a utility from osx86 tools,) its noticed as an unkown device.
Is there any solutions such as kext editing a certian way or will I have to wait for further compatitibility?

Over 800 views and no reply. There must be someone out there that has the same problem as me...

I have similar threads setup with no help... Know of a different card I could switch it out with?
