Hi folks,
i'm so tired for that above!!! :evil:
I've installed gentoo on macbook-pro (mid 2009 - Core2 duo 2.66 alluminium) and i've also follow
gentoo macbook-pro wiki ( http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Apple_Macbook_Pro).
At this point, i've these problems:
1 - Bluetooth is recognized, but doesn't work (kbluetooth dispays there aren't adapter)
2 - ALSA doesn't work (at boot time comes up "alsacard doesn't detected")
3 - wifi doesn't work (i've tried with b43 module, b43-fwcutter)

Only nvidia G9600 works very much!

How can I do?

Plz :lol:

Ok folks...
1 - Bluetooth: now works! (add "btusb" module in kernel)
2 - ALSA: doesn't work yet!!!! :cry:
3 - WIFI: now works! (i've removed "b43" module and i've used broadcom-sta instead)

Point 2 problem: alsaconf detects hda-intel and configures alsa.conf; but when I use alsamixer, it shows me: "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory"

Point 3 problem: i'm using wpa_supplicant (configuration seems good and net.eth1 shows ok for all, but it doesn't connect to AP)

Thanks

I've resolved that!
In kernel i've added support, as module, for Host AP (Prism/2/2.5/3 and WEP/TKIP/CCMP); without this, wpa_supplicant is not able to use WPA and so on

Only one issue: ALSA nVidia driver MPC 97!!!!

Anyone?

For ALSA you want snd_hda_intel.

did you do snd-hda-intel as a built-in, or as a module?

should pretty much always do so as a module. this allows you to set the "model" parameter for the driver during module load. If it's a built-in, you have to pass the model name in the kernel command line, which is a PITA

more often than not, if you do it as a module it "just works"

if not, specify a model (more info in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt)

Good news...
I've tried kernel 2.6.33 (masked)on macbook-pro and there is a support for Cirrus Logic CS4206 (the same used by windows)!!
Now I'm able to hear sound, but only through headset!
Anyway it is only an experiment becouse of nvidia-driver problem with that kernel version (and other little issues).
Now I can only wait... :roll:

Can you be more explicative on the solution :P, I'm also trying to get it running, downloading kernel 2.6.33.2 right now, and about to compile it.

I'm running Slackware, but it's the same procedure.

Thank you
