Post-Install Drivers & Enhancements

So, you now have Mac OS X on your Eee PC. But, you probably notice that some things aren’t working. Namely, audio, graphics acceleration, and Wi-Fi all are not functional. In these next steps, we will install the drivers necessary to enable these features.

1) Download this installation set. It contains drivers and tools that we will use to perfect the installation. Credit goes to some of the staff at MoDaCo for helping to compile portions of the kit.

2) Extract the contents on your desktop.

3) Restart the computer and access your BIOS settings. Turn SpeedStep back on in CPU Configuration. Go to Onboard Devices and enable all four items. We are doing this at this time, to ensure that you have completed Setup Assistant. Doing this step before completing Setup Assistant can cause the installation to hang.

4) Run the AboutThisMac tool inside the folder that you just extracted. This will correct the processor identification in the About This Mac window.

5) Now, we need to install some drivers. Copy or move the Kext Installer utility to the Applications folder. Launch it.

6) Drag all the files from the Drivers folder onto the Kext Installer window. Enter your password, and allow it to begin. Note that if you left your password blank when setting up the Eee PC, you need to give your admin account a password. You can do this in System Preferences > Accounts. This utility will not run on an account that does not have a user password set.

7) When the Kext Installer completes, it will ask you to reboot. Restart the computer, and then run System Preferences > Energy Saver. You should now be able to add the battery status icon to your menubar (if it wasn’t there already).

8) One last part… setting up Wi-Fi. Download this driver from chipset maker Ralink. Install the Mac OS 10.5 version of the driver from the resulting disk image. Reboot when requested.

9) To configure Wi-Fi, first launch System Preference > Network. It will alert you that a new Ethernet connector has been found. This is actually your Wi-Fi card. You can rename the device to Wi-Fi, or leave it as is. Click OK, and close out of System Preferences.

10) Connecting to a Wi-Fi network is a bit different. Instead of using the AirPort menu bar, go to your Applications folder. Launch the new utility located there, called WirelessUtilityCardbusPCI. From there, go to the Site Survey tab, and press Rescan. You should be able to chose your wireless network and connect to it, by double-clicking on the network you want to connect to.
