Smile Enable AirDrop on Lion with Ethernet and Wifi

Hi,
I have found this usefull Tip&Trick on the Net

You can enable AirDrop with Ethernet and enable AirDrop support also on unsupported Macs running OS X Lion 10.7 by using the following defaults write command in the Terminal:


defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1


Paste that in and hit enter.
You’ll need to then kill the Finder by using the following command in the Terminal:


Killall Finder


Paste that in and hit enter.
Or reboot the Mac for changes to take effect.


What’s really interesting is that this enables AirDrop over both Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet connections, which basically means any machine running Lion can use it whether or not it has a wireless card.

Best Regards
