You know, I'd like to send you a little something for all of that incredibly accurate info. But, each time I have tried, my connections are bugged with bad DNS. Maybe you could send me a link and I'll do it that way, a little more secure for me.

Rehabman! Thanks for a complete rundown for the ElCapitan installation. Probook G1 650 i7 HRez Off to the races! Was a sleepy afternoon project that came together quite nicely. Everything works. Wow, how easy was that? Specs: Intel Quadcore 4702MQ 16gRAM 120GB SSD HiRez 1920x1080@60hz Wifi BT...

HP Probook i7 650 G1 Success with Yosemite/Clover! Audio 50/50 OK, there is an audio headphone issue with HP G1 650 in Yosemite. I read in a previous post how it would work sometimes and then not. I have a solution, not exactly elegant. If you plug in headphone before booting, Voila! you have...

In the words of my teenaged daughter, "OMG!!" It took a little longer than a Chameleon install, but wow, everything out of the box. I just swapped my Hp BCM943224HMS this morning, thinking I had to find the driver. I've been boot-strapping along with my trusty 4530s, it's battery died and as I...

Next time you try to do the boot wait a few minutes. Mine took a really long time. (4530s) But only that one time. Then the first time I booted without USB it took a while as well, I think this time it was a white screen.

Hi again, Well after some research I've concluded that somewhere in my travels I got Pwned. The rub for me was the Bluetooth. I am not by any means smart enough to outfox the culprit, but erasing my HD (7 pass 0's) and a clean install of the OS has made my machine freaking awesome. Well, that...

Good suggestion. Chip used is the same AR9285 suggested by users guide. Not sure about getting it from HP though. yes, used a lot of search

Hi RM, yes, they game me the SMC.BIN which allowed me to open BIOS. It had been locked because I didn't know the PW. I never set a PW. Anyway, this computer is the one I am connected to internet with. Long time since I've been able to use wifi. Immediate changes as soon as I went through...

I have grappled with wifi issues on my Probook 4530s 10.9 since day one.(10.7) The BT/wifi combo card Atheros 9285 seemed vulnerable from the start, because my console logs generated the "ATHR: unknown locale: 60" regardless if it connected or didn't. I've spent considerable time researching...

I am about to try to write to wifi EEPROM. I also taped off the BT on the card. Should I remove the tape before I do this? Thanks

I don't know about other, but this freaking posting should be in BOLD CAPS! I love the fact I can disconnect BT, forever!!

Alright, I guess I have some work to do. Just to confirm: This is not solvable by use of a boot.plist or kext unload? That's the rub, it constantly seeks and therefore loses connectivity. Again, am I the only one going through this issue? (don't think so, I've seen a lot of references to it...

Well, certainly not the response I had hoped for. If indeed this is the only solution to the problem, why is 9285 the chosen wifi adapter? It is natively vulnerable? OK, so i need a windoz machine, and I have one about 10 years old running XP. Could I use an emulator, say Wine? Finally, maybe...

First, I need to congratulate the team working on this. Easy, fast and pretty damn solid. It's always cool to blow some mac-centric dude sideways with the HP booting Mavericks. :clap: OK, I am not exactly brain surgeon, (glad I'm not anyway) but every time I complete the install I have wifi...

Great! thanks so much. You never know. I was boondoggled on my first build. It worked first boot with the original HD, but KP'ed when I swapped it for a 7200rpm HD. I'm almost finished with my macPro 32Gig, z77xUD5H, GTX 650 running ML. I'm amazed.... simply amazed why more people aren't...
