Samsung N120 Netbook + Broadcom BCM4321 + OS X = :D
Just a quick site update more than anything, but I just popped said BCM4321 into my Samsung N120 netbook and wifi is working great (in the three minutes I’ve had to test it). For those who might be a little frightened by the somewhat in-depth breakdown required by the Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook, the Samsung N120 netbook consists of thirteen screws and then just popping the case apart. Take old card out, put new one in, and you’re good.
So, how about some guide updates?It is my intention, some point this weekend, to revise the OS X install on Samsung N120 netbook guide to be something a little closer to what the install OS X on the Asus Eee PC 1000HE guide is, which in turn, I also want to clean up a little bit.
Also, I need to talk to a few people, but I may have something else to post here, though it’d entirely user contribution. Fingers crossed!
hi
i hope you will include updates on the latest problems or solutions regarding the audio and lan connection on the n120 running osx.. a link from you in on the osx on n120 guide (brilliant work !!!) but ive not had the heart to try them for myself
also since the install of osx following your guide ive lost the way to get to winxp on n120
any help regarding enabling dual boot would be greatly appreciated (there is a guide for win7 and osx dual boot) but since i have the original sammy winxp on the n120 i dont have the install cd for it )
thanks and great work !!!
Excellent guides, thank you! I just got OS X running on my Samsung, exactly as per your directions – no problems whatsoever.
One question though… you refer to the Broadcom BCM4321, but I think that’s a chipset, not an actual product. Can you tell me the name of the product itself (or give me a few), that I can search for?
Glad it worked!
Correct, the BCM4321 is a chipset, not an actual product. While there are a few products that do work out of the box (I believe one of the Dell adapters does), what I actually used was some generic card I purchased off of ebay. If you search for the BCM4321 there you’ll find quite a few. Expect to pay around $20, shipping included. Not bad, eh?
