Suggestions for NetbookBootMaker 0.8.2

[bmaltais]

- Add Bluetooth support as per this post: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/mac-os- ... l-mod.html
- Use old trackpad kext for Mini 10v due to issue with button less trackpad
- Fix NetbootBootMaker window title and window layout. (done)

0.8.0+ already does that bluetooth fix for the Mini 9, I just haven't been able to test it. It may need to place IOBluetoothFamily in /S/L/E instead of /E
Untested A new version of the trackpad w/ out jumping issues will be added to 0.8.2, if it doesn't fix it, then the old touchpad driver will be used. The fix was provided by JayK.

i am running the latest installer and bluetooth supports a wireless mouse on a mini 10v

A few changes that I'm panning on including in the next version:
- Done Try to fix the AppleTyMCEDriver panic and revisit adding every (running?) kext to the mkext.
- Possibly Add Mini 9 Sd boot support. This will require a seperate partition on the internal drive. I'll see if it's possible to display a prompt during the post install so that it'll let you configure the boot partition.
- WIP Along with the above, I've modified the sd driver so that it'll enable high speed mode if the card uses it. It'll also report the card manufacturer (if known) and type (sd vs sdhc) in disk utility.
- Done Chameleon 2.0 RC2
- Untested Bugfix related to bluetooth patch
- Done More modular machine support. Will no longer need source changes to support more machines
- Done Dell Mini 10v fix for audio (full audio support) via either an efi string, dsdt patch or hda enabler and a "legacy" plist. I may look into using something like that for the mini 9 and the S10 too.
- Possibly include support for the Asus EEE 1000H if I can get a tester or two.
- WIP Updated touchpad driver which allows both two finger scrolling *and* dragging on the min 10v touchpad
- WIP Elantech touchpad support if the touchpad I ordered on ebay arrives quickly. True multifinger support will be included.

I'm probbaly forgetting a few things, so I'll add them as I think of them or anything else.

Just a few more changes.

- Done 0.8.1 has issues with WWAN cards and USB audio. This is probably due to the way the mkext is created so we either need to include all kexts of revert to the dellefi method. This depends on if the AppleTYMCE bug is fixed or not (or if we use a blacklist / whitelist, etc).

0.8.1 also has an issue with disabling hibernation. If the plist file is non exists we need to either create it or fall back to pmset.

Just one more things...
- Done Currently we use an md5 sum to determine the os version. This shouldn't be the primary method (use it as a fallbak). Instead we should read the version from the SystemVersion.plist file so that the installer does not need to be updated every singe os release.

I have an Eee 1000HE with 2GB and a broadcom 4321 wifi card that I replaced the original with. I'm happy to test 0.8.2 on it if you like.

It might be nice to add the VoodooHDA kexts to the Lenovo extensions. I recently used .0.8.1 on my Lenovo S10 and was thrilled with the outcome. There were only two things I needed to address a small edit to one kext to get sleep working and then doing the VoodooHDA work to get audio working. There are also some extended directions linked to fix the audio on resume from sleep issues, but I have not tried these yet, and I'm not sure that it could easily be integrated into NetbookInstaller.

All the same, nice work! REALLY enjoying the ease of installation and the new touchpad drivers.

Thank you for the info.
I'll make sure the next version patches the USB kext.
I'm really reluctant to include voodoohda while the static on wakeup issue big is still there, but I'll look into it as well as a few other options / ideas I have. I'd also prefer not to have to use the sleepwatcher / rc scripts in order to get it to work as it's extremely hackish (and I'd prefer to keep that to a minimum).

With respect to audio, I think you may want to look and determine what role (if any) the BIOS version plays in this. From the myDellmini forums on the 10V, it would appear that individuals using the same installation procedures have had widely differing degrees of success getting audio working properly (internal speaker and headphone, mute, waking up from sleep, etc.). My own experience with audio with A05 BIOS on a 10V has not been entirely successful.
