Hi all, After a being a very happy Dell Latitude d620 hackint0sh user the last few years I had to replace my ol' pall with a new Laptop since my LCD's bckligt broke down. I bought me a Dell inspiron 15 n5050 i5-2450 / 4gb / HD3000 gfx / 500gb hdd. I've managed to get Lion 10.7.2 booting on my new laptop. But still have couple of things that wont work.
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction in resolving these problems. My Touchpad is not detected after installation. I've tried voodoops2 but without success. Keyboard works and external usb mouse also works, just no trackpad. My n5050 has a alps trackpad, but i can't figure out how to get it detected.
Also I can't figure out how to get my wifi working. According to windows it's a 'Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter' and Dell says it's a 'dell 1703 802.11b/g/n' VenID/DevID 168c:0032 Who could give me some advise? Any help is welcome!
Hi there, I'm planning on turning my N5050 into a hackintosh (as it's the only piece of kit I have that I can really hack) and I did some digging around a while ago in order to prepare. Now I have the time and the motivation to do so, I plan on giving it a go.
I haven't made a hackintosh before so I am a bit unsure of what to do and I was wondering if you could help me out. I can return the favour by answering your questions using something I dig up in my earlier research: According to - you need an Atheros AR5B95 kext for the wireless, and the trackpad works with single touch only using whatever settings they used. I hope this helps you. As for me: I'm running similar hardware, with the exception of the CPU (i3-2330M - 2.20GHz/HD3000) and disk space (320GB) although I can't imagine that this will cause there to be a big difference in installation.
I also do not have access to a computer running any form of Mac OSX, which some guides I've read lead me to believe is essential in making a Lion/Mountain Lion install. Do I have to do a Snow Leopard install in order to then do (Mountain) Lion or is there a way around that? And how exactly do you go about it?
Any advice, guides, or even step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the tip, tried that wifi next, but without success. My solution was replacing the wifi card with an Atheros AR9280 AR5BHB92 Half PCI-E Wireless Card 300M I bought from Ebay.
My Wifi card from Ebay arrived by mail today. Swapped the original card with new one and as expected it was detected OOB. So a very cheap hardware fix: $10,50 in total. Trackpad keeps buggin' me a bit though. Using a modified voodoops2controller kext for Alps from Projectosx.com I managed to get my trackpad to be detected as a 'normal' mouse. Still, i'd love to be able to get side scrolling / multi finger scrolling working.
For the time being I found out that when I click and hold the left + right mouse button simultanioualy and swipe over the trackpad it scrolls. Not very elegant but works better than using the scollbars. I've been trying to figure out what the model (deviceID etc) of my trackpad it is but I can't find it. Does anyone know how I can find out what exact model the alps trackpad is?

Some linux/windows/osx tool I don't know about? As for installing Lion without an existing OSX installation, my advise would be to use an external usb drive and install SL on that. You can run run OSX from external drive (also very useful as a fall back for trying new Kexts, you can use it to fix anything you screw up I used Multibeast as described on osx86project wiki entry.
