Lenovo Ideapad z560 ML 10.8.2 - cheap laptop with good compatibility

[mrchrister]

Hey guys,

laptop working brilliantly with 10.8.2!

System used:
Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 M37AQGE W7HP64 15.6" 1366 x 768 Core i5 430M, 2x 2.26 GHz 6 GB RAM 320 GB NVIDIA GeForce G 310M
WLAN Atheros AR5BXB6

As you can see on the provided screenshots the laptop was modified in two ways:
1. 6GB RAM instead of the 2GB that it came with. I simply bought 4 GB RAM and used the second RAM slot.
2. WLAN Atheros AR5BXB6 replacing the internal Wifi card (You need the provided IO80211Family.kext to make it work)


Working (pretty much everything)

- Serial ATA driver
- Internal Camera
- Bluetooth (using the Mighty Mouse)
- Wifi
- Sound (Plug switching working, Headphone/Speakers)
- Network Card (Realtek)
- Graphics Card
- Sleep
- Speedstepping (also for GPU)
- Battery Display
- USB 3.0 express card
- HDMI and VGA out
- SD card slot
- DVD burner

Not working
- HDMI Audio (I boot to Win7 when I want to watch a film on TV)
- Internal Microphone (can make it work by using VoodooHDA but automatic plug switching will be disabled)

I put all files I used together in a package that you can download here:

Hey,mrchrister.... I have got the real reason for my karnel Panic.
When I am using Those KEXT and DSDT file which you have provided,its Running well but my LAN is not working...BUT it not giving any karnel panic.

But When I am using AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns for My LAN, its giving me random Karnel panic.

Do you have any solution for it ??
Thanks in Advance
