I have a dell N7010, I had some problems getting everything working in ML just like I did in SL. But I finally got everything working even App Store, iMessage, and iCloud. I'm gonna try to explain how I had to go about getting everything working, took me 3 days to figure everything out with lots of google searches, different kexts, and a couple fresh installs.
I had my buddy download ML on his mac since I never had access to App Store with my SL build. I created the usb drive using unibeast as described on this site. After that was created I installed ML on the hdd as normal. Used to usb to boot back into ML.
I opened up multibeast (for ML) and initially I used easybeast but that caused a black screen on boot up so I had to erase the drive and install ML again.
What worked for me was going down to boot loader and click Chimera, go to miscellaneous under drivers and click FakeSmc and PS/2 Keyboard/Mice and Trackpad. You can pick whatever System Definitions you want and whatever theme you want. Install and reboot.
You will notice you will have to manually click enter to boot into ML. Turns out with the ML version of multibeast it doesn't install org.chameleon.boot.plist for whatever reason so anything you click that modifies org.chameleon.boot.plist will always fail. I ended up having to download multibeast for Lion and go to boot options and click 64-bit apple boot screen. and also click off System Utilities. Install and reboot. You should now have org.chameleon.boot.plist in your /extra folder.
To get video working open up your new org.chameleon.boot.plist and add this
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>AtiConfig</key>
<string>Hoolock</sting>
That's it for video, no other kexts were needed.
To get sound working I used VoodooHDA 2.7.4r63 downloaded from http://www.osx86.net/view/2746-voodoohda_2.7.4_pkg_installer.html
Now onto iCloud, iMessage, and App Store. I have the Atheros ar8152 so I downloaded the kext from http://www.osx86.net/view/1391-ar_8152_lion.html. After installing delete networkInterfaces.plist from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration.
Now open System Preferences and click Network, delete all your network connections on the left. Apply changes then restart computer. When you boot back up go to Network Utility and make sure it says Ethernet (en0). Go back into System Preferences and click network. Only add your WiFi connection. Do Not Add Ethernet to list will cause kernel panic. If for some reason it does get added back to the list you can boot up with cpus=1 if you get a kernel panic. Once booted back up just delete it off the list again. You should now be able to log into all 3.
I never did get the internal WiFi card working but didn't really bother with it since I got the airlink 101 mini adapter. That works fine for me and I just leave it plugged in since it's so small. My laptop didn't come with bluetooth but I got a mini adapter off amazon for .99 sent from china which seems to work pretty good.
EDIT: Took my laptop to work today and couldn't log into iMessage, or iCloud. I had to do repair permissions and reboot and it worked fine afterwards. Same thing when I got home from work. After the repair permissions everything was back to normal, not sure why that is but if that's all I have to do then I don't mind.
