Works perfect!! Install 10.9.1 on ProBook 6460b

Update 8.feb. 2014 Installed HP branded Broadcom 943224HMS (see below)

FRESH INSTALL 10.9.1:

Just installed 10.9.1, as a fresh install, on my wife`s Probook 6460b, using Unibeast and Probook installer 6.1.11.
Bought Atheros 9280 mini pcie card for Wifi, and it works great!

Do this:
1. Install 10.9.1 as usual with Unibeast, restart. Boot from Unibeast, and choose 10.9.1 partition, not the installer.
2. Use Probook Installer 6.1.11 and install according to Rehabmans guide (remember to check Fanreset.dylib for the Atheros 9280 wifi). Shut down.
3. Put the actual 9280 wifi card in the machine. Boot. The bios will tell you the card is not recognized (whitelisted) and won't work, ignore that and continue.
5. And wow! Working hackintosh!

Everything works!!

Update 8.feb. 2014: Replaced the wifi-card with a HP branded Broadcom 943224HMS. Just swapped it with the Atheros 9280, no drivers, no nothing. It just works! No whitelist-message anymore!!

Thanks for tips nguyenmac and Rehabman!

You could also "rebrand" that AR9280 as an HP AR9285. Then you won't need the hacked Fanreset.dylib and you won't get the warning/error from BIOS. It will still work as an AR9280. See: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/115110-rebranding-atheros-928x-cards-guide.html

6460b does not have AR9285 in whitelist

Save yourself and find a HP branded Broadcom 943224HMS, it will work with your laptop, no BIOS error.

should every broadcom 943224HMS work ? or it's necessarily needed an hp branded one ?

The 6460 has a whitelist implemented in BIOS, so it must be HP branded.

8.feb. 2014-update to original post:

Replaced the wifi-card (Atheros 9280) with a HP branded Broadcom 943224HMS. Just swapped it with the Atheros 9280, no drivers, no nothing, exept for the Fanreset.dylib already installed. It just works! No whitelist-message anymore!!
