HP ProBook Installer 6.1 (beta): Ivy bridge support

I just added my ioreg of card on my previous post

The injector should work with untouched IO80211Family.kext. The bundleid and class name match.

I had to remove it from mine to make wifi card available....

If you use the injector, you don't need DSDT patch. If you have DSDT patch, injector does nothing (eg. ok to have both).

That doesn't make any sense.

i've also noticed the bluetooth on every 2nd/3rd boot, would show up as not working in its status icon. there would be a zigzag line through the bluetooth icon.

Like I said before, keep in mind that it takes 30 sec sometimes to activate...

But... I have seen this. I don't use BT, but since you were reporting this, I decided to put the indicator back on the menu bar, so I'd notice whether it was loaded or not. Sometimes (fairly rarely, but often enough to notice) I'll notice it not working on a fresh restart. Coincidently, when this happens, my USB mouse is not working either. Since I've seen this happen on a warm boot (eg. after restart) and the USB mouse seems to not work at the same time, I believe it is not related to the IOath3kfrmwr.kext firmware uploader (firmware is already loaded on warm restart). I think sometimes on a restart, USB devices "already plugged in" fail to work. In the case of the USB mouse, I simply unplug and plug back in. With a built-in device like the BT chip, that is not really possible, so another restart is your only recourse.

BTW, I see the same USB initialization problem (w/ USB mouse) in Windows sometimes, so this is likely a flakey hardware thing: eg... HP's fault.

Bottom line: Move on... there is nothing we can do about this one.

Issues with what? What is the failure? You mean the ProBook Installer is failing? Did you check your install.log in Console (under var/log) to see the cause?

You might want to double check your ioreg. Maybe that will give you some clues as to what is going on.
Natively it is 168c,2b. DSDT patch makes it 168c,2a or 168c,30 depending on which rev of the patches you're using.

Might be a different kext identifier, so the injector kext does not find it... I experienced the same with my injector kext for Bluetooth.

Yeah, Basically the Installer goes along as normal then just fails, I stupidly did the .4 update from the AppStore and the first restart failed then it worked second time?? But Ive noticed Ive lost my battery meter which is what lead me to search and see if there was a new pro book installer.. Anyway long boring story over do you mind telling me in a bit more detail what I should For looking for under the var/log and if it fails should I leave the installer open?

Thanks again as always RehabMan.

You don't have to keep it open. Your log from the failure are still in /var/log/install.log.

If you open up Console, then look on the left in /var/log/install.log, you can search (command-F, Edit->Find, %F, etc), probably for ProBook, or ProBookInstaller, and you should find the log for your install.

Once you find the log you can copy paste the error or the entire log.. select it, then Edit->Copy. Paste it here, or if it is large, put it in .txt file, zip it and attach to post.

See how there is three install.log/s is that right?
