evan could you tell me what wifi card your laptop has? i checked osx86project wiki and see they replaced the one i have 4965 with a 1395 but online i see where i can buy used parts and get a 1390

[Ev4nsLife]

I am not sure which one mine has, it doesn't say in About This Mac. But I am pretty sure I have the 1390, so I would say go for that.

i tried searching around online and found people had problems with the Intel 4965AGN wireless card but couldn't find a solution besides buying a new one. any chance there is a kext?

[Ev4nsLife]

Sorry, no. Mine actually has a different wireless card and worked by default

i'm not having any luck with airport or even ethernet showing up. did i miss a certain kext or any suggestions?

Hey i have a small problem installing snow leopard. My current Leopard has only one drive and the " + " sign under the partion tab is disabled. How may i go about installing snow leopard ?

@danielupclose Your not going to like this, but reinstall Leopard, but when formatting the hard drive. Go to the Partition tab, instead of the erase tab, and change the drop down under "Volume Scheme" to "2 Partitions". Make sure to make the first partition 10GB less than the hard drives full size. Then for the second partition make it 10GB, for the Snow Leopard install. I had the same problem as you before, and thats how I fixed it.
