if you search through this thread, people have success with the intel graphics of their HP laptops. the one built-in with the sandy bridge system.

yours would probably support that, unfortunately, mine does not, and i am still waiting on a fix for ati.

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate situation, but I appreciate the feedback -- thanks very much!

For wifi, I suggest swapping for a mac compatible model that also is OOB compatible with your laptop

Yeah, this is often the best solution. I know from reading in the past (on my previous hackintosh) that Atheros wifi cards tend to be well-supported, and Intel is particularly poorly supported.

Best chance intel wireless cards will get support, is if someone ports the Linux driver for them. Unlikely due to the very cheap solution to just swap them.

I wouldn't recommend holding one's breath for this. I made my first Hackintosh a couple years ago, and it was the identical problem back then, but everyone simply recommended Atheros instead.

So, if there was a quick and easy driver solution to make the Intel wifi work, I'm sure it'd already have been done by now.

Anyone have luck getting usb 3 working on the dv6t?

Anyone have luck getting usb 3 working on the dv6t?

for me, the port works when i do iboot legacy + retail 10.6.3 for usb2
but since i have no 3.0 usb device, i don't know if it works.
but with the experimental usb3 driver, i don't get kernel panic. so it may be working
