“your right the airport appears using default kexts, but obviously doesnt work... i have now tried installing iatkos and ideneb - many many times and still the wifi card does not work. I give up”

“if I install "default" options, e.g. just press continue without pressing customise to add extra drivers/kexts, then the airport icon appears!”

“i think the broadcom kext is fine, i think its one of the custom install kexts that causes the problem e.g. SMBIOS, nvidia, intel kexts? if I do a "default" install without following your guide, only the default kexts then airport works.”

“unfortunately 1490 wifi card in second slot + pin20trick + iatkos v7 = Still not working”

“which custom install options did u choose for ideneb and the 6920G. It will be interesting to see if the card works in the second slot, thanks for the info”

“Ok I tried iDeneb v1.6 (10.5.8) and installed using only default options + broadcom driver - booted up fine and Airport icon appeared! then reinstalled it again, only this time followed your guide for iatkos v7 and tried to install the same…”

“to help with installing, ive tried to put my iatkos v7 onto 8gb usb pen. I used disk utility to partition and format the pen (journaled, 1partition, mbr) and used restore and selected the iso as source and pen as destination. I can boot wit…”

“how do you stop closing lid standby? I have set system preferences > energy savings turned standby to "never", but how do i change the lid settings?”

“i have just noticed that if i close the laptop lid, then open again, I cannot get it to wake up”

“sorry i meant that is what I need to get working next, I havent got them working! i have edited the kexts with the exact ID's but does not work. I will wait pateiently on the 1490 arriving and hope I have better luck.”

“I have just purchased a 1490 on ebay so im just going to give up on this card... now im moving onto the LAN, uk keyboard button layouts and getting tapping/scrolling on the touchpad to work!”

“Pin20 is def the kill switch on the this card (ive tested it in windows), but I have found on other forum a post about iatkos v7 and this same wireless card (dell 1395) which also does not work. I am goin to buy a 1490 from ebay instead, wi…”

“lspci lists the card as Broadcom corp. BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] rev 01 but airport icon dont appear and wifi light stays out (even thou ive done pin20 fix, tested in windows) also found on another site You need to edit this file to add…”

“first problem, I have installed a dell 1395 wifi card into the acer and its not detected, also tried the PIN20 trick by covering in tape,but still the wifi light does not light up and no device detected in OSX. I know this card is compatibl…”

“currently installing iatkos v7 using this guide on my 6930G, fingers crossed its going well so far.. expect me to post again with some problems haha”

“If that is the case, just follow my tutorial, except you cant just copy my apple.plist because it containes gfx string for 9600m GT for this Acer model. You'll have to make your own and copy it to the info.boot.apple.plist. Is it possible t…”

“I have a 6930G, which has slightly differing hardware to the 6935G, e.g NVIDIA 9300GS what do I need to do to adjust your guide for this model?”
