hi buys...
anybody have a kext or string for this wifi card ??
help me!!!
Full Version: Atheros AR5B91 Wireless help !
Ok, i have the same problem and im pissed at nobody answering a thread...
I did some research and took a look at the mini PCIe wireless card in my Notebook and it says "Atheros AR5B91" on it, i turned it around and took a look at the actual IC, which read Atheros AR9281.
Upon further research the 9281 is a single Band B/G/N chip. Here are some links:
http://www.atheros.com/news/AR9280_AR9281.htm
http://www.atheros.com/pt/bulletins/AR9281Bulletin.pdf
Now here comes the EXCITING part! Take a look at the second link and you'll see it says "Driver support for Windows XP, Vista, Mac
and Linux operating systems" I hope this is true but i havent found any driver for mac, i'll keep researching though

BUMP AGAIN
I can't get tired of BUMPING THIS
Bumped again - I just bought an Acer 4730Z laptop with this mini pci-e adapter; a kext for it (and getting the Intel 4500M video working properly) would make me one happy camper!
hey does this mean that the ar9281 can now work on mac osx? if so how do i get it to work?

Sorry for the confusion. We are under legal agreement with Apple not to provide the requested drivers to anyone. For issues regarding driver support or customer service related to your wireless card, please contact Apple. We suggest you refer to the Apple's website, as they typically offer online technical support pages where software drivers, updates, and other related information can be obtained.

No, the Orangeware driver does not work with Intel machines or 10.5. This is from their FAQ:
Is your Wireless Driver supported under Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)?
We do not support Mac OS X 10.5 and are not planning an upgrade.

i think it works on snow leopard.
can anyone confirm this?
yes, in this thread they discuss how it did not work in the Acer 4710TZ but now works with SL. Drivers do exist for mac for the base chip of this card (named something else) but were never included with Leopard

I wanna downgrad my system to leopard and im trying to find that same driver to make it work as airport but i don't know where I should look for it in SL...
