Kalyway's distros are on ThePirateBay, as well as on the hackintosh forums located at www.osx86project.org. The broadcom card was just a standard wireless card like this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dell-Inspiron-1501-Broadcom-Wireless-Card-BCM94311MCG_W0QQitemZ270550067055QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_LaptopAccess_RL?hash=item3efe0a676f To be honest, any broadcom wireless card will work, its just OS X doesnt support Atheros cards at the moment. Good luck with your iNetbook :) (p.s - while I think of it, I've not tried Snow Leopard yet!) Hi Leroy,

To be honest, any broadcom wireless card will work, its just OS X doesnt support Atheros cards at the moment.

It's officially illegal, however I've basically purchased a Leopard license, just for it. Obviously this means its still in violation of Apple's AUP/Terms, however I think they will agree that 'at least I've paid for it'. I do also own an iPhone, iMac and the latest MBP - Running Windows on my netbook would be a horrible thing! :/ Once Apple come out with their own netbook/tablet/etc then I'll most likely buy that to replace the plasticy/tacky Aspire One! Your first port of call would be to google 'Kalaway 10.5' - You should be good to go after that ;) If you get stuck on drivers, give me a shout and I'll see if I can find them somewhere! Hi Dave,

It's like pulling teeth out through your rear end ! These people have, what is on the face of it, quite a nice little product but unless you want to talk about giving them money your wasting your time trying to get any assistance or support. It must be a big company thing who knows.
