Hello,

I bought a almost no-name netbook (chiligreen netbook neo), and I'm trying to have OSX86 working on it.

No problem with the installation, but to activate wifi one must use Fn+F3.

Of course it works with Windows, but neither in OSX or Ubuntu...

Any idea ?

A manual way to do something like http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/ ?
