Inspiron 3650 - BigSur

Inspiron 3650 - BigSur

Previously had Monterey on it. After getting a ryzen system, I decided to go back to this older desktop to redo the configuration. The old setup had no graphics acceleration, sound, or wifi but ethernet worked fine.

Now after doing a clean install of BigSur, I was able to get the Sound and HD530 working, something I had alot of trouble with before. I used heliport and itwlm to enable wifi as a workaround. Couldn't get it working with the original atheros card so I swapped it with an Intel one.

All usb ports mapped, SD reader still doesn't work. Same on any os. The only thing I didn't get working was standby,.

Specs:

Dell Inspiron 3650

CPU - intel i5 6400 GPU - HD530 Ram - 8gb DDR3L Wifi - intel dual band 7265 (Bluetooth included) Audio - ALC662v3 (used id 17 in boot-args for working sound) SSD - WDGreen 240gb Sata

I might consider upgrading the os but everything else works fine as is.
