Before i will invest more time into this, i there any whitelisted Mac OS compatible Wifi card for this model?

Check your service manual for a list of WiFi cards that pass the whitelist.

Proper installation, what would be best way now? Unibeast + multibeast + clover and which version of Mac OS still Maverick, or even Mountain lion or Yosemite?

Clover preferred by most...

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

This is sort of answer what i really dont need.. i already checked, but Lenovo using some FRU parts names is hard to connect them with some real product on eBay, so i asked for some real user experience and knowledge.

You might eventually get a response (maybe...). You'll need to be patient.

In the meantime, you might do your own research. If you have the skills, you may be able to extract the whitelisted vendor/device-ids from BIOS.
 
Well, patience isnt my virtue.. but without such not patient and unsatisfied people we would probably still living in caves..

Extract the whitelisted vendor/device-ids from BIOS
- i never heard that such interaction with Bios is possible

You would need skills... Disassembly and analysis of x86 BIOS code is for those deeply familiar with X86 programming.
 
ASM - i was good with it when i was 13, twenty years ago - i made some 2D -SVGA game engine for DOS, its long shot, from time effor point of view, better solution would be change a netbook.

Here are best info, which im able to find on internet and almost useless:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkP...-whitelist-for-Thinkpad-Edge-E130/td-p/809133
https://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/E130_FRU_BOM.pdf

It seems that even card whitelist is Lenovos secret.

When i exclude 3G Modem and intel 620 FRU, there are 2 magical possible cards:
FRU FXC 11WLAN
FRU LTN 11WLAN

loaded in verbose mode screen capture

hardinfo did not see any sensors

The USB was created with iboot + Unibeast. OSX El Capitan 10.11.4, I also had choice of Mountain Lion.
Clover initialize and then installations stucks at loading apple. I tried different options, as inject Intel, cpus=1, but no luck.
Using dart flags -v-x graphics enabled=no took me to error fail 0x13 page alloc type 2, reboot in 10 sec..

What I did not attempt to do, was whitelist, and change BIOS, I need to get a copy of this version of the BIOS
first so < rollback anytime > not sure which version of BIOS should get also. Apparently I have all appropriate settings
in the Bios atm.


I did not touch config.plst. Is there something I could do to the config.plst ?
May I have better chance success with Mountain Lion or Yosemite ?

tnx rehab

"Still waiting for root device" when booting from USB indicates a USB problem.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

See also USB guide for other ideas: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.175789/
 
root device UID is listed, I do not seem to have still waiting for root device error...
After the missing bluetooth error the letters gets corrupted and the prohibited sign pops up.

I have just one new M-sata SDD attached and no IDE disks. The new disk is empty and unpartitioned.

I tried autopatch the DSDT in Clover option, but as I made the Usb with Unibeast with the first method, two partitions, MBR/Fat32 and HFS+,
I did not put any other file on the USB.
I have an old PowerPC ibook, and I need to pop over friends' house to access the Usb Key with privileges. USB was created on an airbook 5.7.

I Understand the USB could be the problem, so I may have to replace various kext files in it, and probably attempt to rebuild Clover with Clover Glower following more carefully all suggestions.

I could use the binaries method to clone the install_OS_X.app on a newly created USB with a modified Clover.

I have to dive deeper in the Dsdt..

Your verbose output indicates a USB problem. Read post #38.
