Step 3: Get WiFi and Headphone Out working

Now we are going to finish making this computer into a perfect little netbook.  We'll enable wifi using Realteks new driver.  Though not officially released, some of Realteks emplyees have leaked a beta version which works perfectly.  Search for "realtek osx wind torrent" and download the driver from any torrent site.  Install this and you'll have working WiFi.

For the Headphone Out,  first download CHUD Tools 4.6.1 from Apple's Developer Site. You can register with a free account to gain access to download this file.

Install that software.

Next, Download this file
(once again, special thanks to the guys at MSI Wind forums for these files)

And extract it.  Move both files to your home folder (not desktop or documents, straight to you home folder), and fire up Terminal.

Once you have terminal open, type:

chmod 755 switch.sh

./switch.sh

Hit enter after every line, and you will be asked for you admin password.  Enter it and hit enter again.

Now, you can make a shortcut to the other file (Spk-Hp Switch) to your dock.  When you open it, it will ask for your admin password every time.  You must enter it and hit OK.

What this Spk-Hp Switch does, is it switches your audio from you speakers to you headphone jack, so if you want to use your headphone jack, simply plug headphones in, and run Spk-Hp Switch.  If you want to switch back to speakers, run it again.  
 One thing to note, is that after a reboot or waking up from sleep, the computer will automatically be in external speaker mode, so to use headphones you must simply run Spk-Hp Switch, and switch to the Headphone Jack.
