Ikyo75 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Has anyone made any headway on the docking station ethernet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daletanium Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I don't have a docking station but I bought a UNITEK 3 Port USB 3.0 HUB with RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Adapter pc/mac. For $30 off ebay. Website has a mac driver and it works great. The usb ports also work fine. I would post some links, but I'm on my mobile and its a bit buggy switching between things.

Ikyo75 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I was hoping someone made headway on the dock ethernet. I am not sure that anyone will because the vendor shows as microsoft even when I would guess it is another brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD100_1 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Please help Thanks to the excellent tutorial on the first page I have managed to install and have got a fully wiring version of OSX 10.9 on my surface pro. I even managed to get it to boot without the clover menu. The problem I have is that it takes around 3/4 minutes to get past the red boot screen before it fires up. Any Ideas? Surface Pro 1 4gb ram 128gb ssd HD 4000 graphics.1.7GHz Cpu. Update: I booted with volume up and enabled and disable the secure boot options and this seems to have made a improvement. It takes now takes about 30 seconds to get past the red screen and a further 17 seconds to get to the login screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moimoimoi Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hi, 1) Thanks for this centralized essential information place with great tutorials :-) 2) I encounter a problem when I stay inactive for 20 minutes: - after 10 minutes my screens goes black, no problem ; - 10 minutes later, the surface restart (after what a pretty orange led in the right side oh the surface starts blinking with a cycling sequence : 1 long blink, then some short blinking sequences : 3 3 4 2) My hypothesis is that there is something to patch in the dsdt but who knows ? (I obviously used the dsdt/ssdt's provided in this topic). Does anyone have some ideas ? My configuration : Microsoft SurfacePro 2 OS:OSX 10.9.5 Cpu:u4300 Gpu:HD4400 Ram:8gb 1600 WiFi:external usb SSD:256gb PS : to reset the blinking led, you just have to power on the tablet by pressing power during 20 seconds.

IAMTHEONLYGOD Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I installed Mavericks, yet the front camera has some kind of video noise when trying to use Quicktime to record a movie. Any good recommendations on how to make the cameras function properly? 10.9.5 running on a Surface Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMTHEONLYGOD Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Wait...the front page says the cameras work alright...as the WIFI is the only issue listed...yet...the cameras don't seem to function properly...and "iGlasses" is recommended? So the camera issue should be added to the list of not-completely-functional in OSX hw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcel90 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hey i tried to install OSX Yosemite on my Surface Pro2. I created a USB disk with the installation. All worked fine. The last Point (on the first page here) 10. Go to /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ folder and rename bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi . I didn't do this because on EFI i can't find Microsoft. I tried to boot with my Surface. It looked nice. I saw a black screen with the apple logo and a loading bar. it stopped near lets say 50%. i waited round about 30 minutes. Nothing happend. Can someone tell me whats wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoe317 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hey guys, I posted a link on freelancer to see if anyone could write a driver/kext for the marvell 88w8797 wifi since it doesn't work. I saw on the internet that there was a kernel driver database that added support for the marvell 88w8797 to linux here: \ http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/MWIFIEX_USB.html it just says: Marvell WiFi-Ex Driver for USB8797 found in drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/KconfigThe configuration item CONFIG_MWIFIEX_USB: prompt: Marvell WiFi-Ex Driver for USB8797 type: tristate depends on: CONFIG_MWIFIEX && CONFIG_USB defined in drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/Kconfig found in Linux kernels: 3.5–3.13, 3.13+HEAD modules built: mwifiex_usb Help textThis adds support for wireless adapters based on Marvell Avastar 88W8797 chipset with USB interface. If you choose to build it as a module, it will be called mwifiex_usb. Well anyway, I posted a project on freelancer here: https://www.freelancer.com/projects/Linux-Objective-C/Port-Wireless-driver-kext-for.html one company listed here: http://zepess.com/ws24/Default.aspx said they would do it for 355, but I talked them down to 250. Their username is qkullaoa on freelancer, and they have pretty good reviews. Not many, but all 5 stars. Should we do this? Do you think people would contribute money for this to get done?

joejoe317 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 What version of Ubuntu? I don't get my surface pro till Thursday, so I can't check yet, I went ahead and started having them work on this project, so this information will probably be helpful! I wonder if they could figure out the name of the driver, really wish I had the sp here already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
