eclipse03racer Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have a d-link 542 dev 168c,3a69 atheros5416 that recognize OOTB on leopard. After upgrading to snow leopard, booting on both 32 and 64 bit doesnt recognize the card. Anyone know how to make it work even if i boot 32 bit mode? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx looks like ur device id is not found inside "IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros.kext/Contents/info.plist" anymore... maybe try adding it... not sure what the correct format for your card should be. mine was already in there like so: "<string>pci168c,1a</string>" good luck!!!

That's strange, man... I have the same dev IDs like you (my card is D-Link DWL-510G) and it doesn't work neither in 64 bit nor in 32 bit! What is you configuration? Maybe you could post your kext here pls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliveren131 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 My card is a WG311T that device id is listed in Atheros kext my card shows up as airport it says on but doesnt see any networks im wondering if its chameleon rc1 that might be the problem because my card worked in leopard no problems FIXED i changed the pci slot and crossed my finger and it works all the networks showed up in 32 bit mode will try 64 bit mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same dev IDs like you (my card is D-Link DWL-510G) and it doesn't work neither in 64 bit nor in 32 bit! What is you configuration? Maybe you could post your kext here pls? my config: intel dg33fb mobo (ich9 chipset) core2 quad 4gb nvidia 8500gt 512mb dvi/vga 2x320gb sata hdds in stripped softraid atheros 5006 wifi card built-in intel lan chameleon 2 rc2 r640 (installed manually cos of my raid setup) patched dsdt.aml for my mobo with pcwiz dsdt patcher (snow doesnt boot for me without this) com.apple.boot.plist has following: kernal flags: "-v arch=x86 GraphicsEnabler=Yes" not using any efi strings or uuid stuff... chameleon 2 rc2 takes care of all that... kexts: fakesmc (no need for dsmos/decrypt/disablers) voodoops2controller + nub (for my ps2 keyboard) voodoohda (for the built in alc sound) openhaltrestart (fixes shutdown/restart issues) intel82566mm (for my built in lan) so to answer ur question, my wifi was detected out of the box as an airport card after installing snow by the stock io80211family/airportatheros kext... so posting my kext wouldnt help ya... try using a patched dsdt.aml for your mobo and also using the "arch=x86" boot flag with chameleon 2 rc2... if the system profiler > extensions shows airportatheros, that means ur card is detected but it doesnt show up in ur network configuration somehow... dunno... this hackintosh stuff is really tiring :-) good luck!!! My card is a WG311T that device id is listed in Atheros kext my card shows up as airport it says on but doesnt see any networks im wondering if its chameleon rc1 that might be the problem because my card worked in leopard no problems i doubt that chameleon has anything to do with wifi card... dont really know though... try pc efi 10.1 boot file see if that makes any difference... and also cham rc2 as well... maybe u could try a friend's wifi card that is compatible with osx so that u could rule out a defective wg311t card...

kamikaze Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Interesting, I am having issues on SL while everything works fine on Leo Here is my card, Dlink WRT DWA 552 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5416 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Adapter [168c:0023] (rev 01) It works fine on Leo, fails on SL ?! what the hell ? I checked and 168c,23 is already in the IO list.. Any hints ?

meecrob87 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I have a DWA-542 as well, and it only works in 32 bit in SL. Im going to guess that a 64 bit version of the driver will be out eventually. Best thing to do is to just wait for 10.6.1, until then i'm going to stay with Leo.

Yes I figured by reading other threads that it was an issue with 32/64. So I am guess my hack boots in 64 bits... I am trying to validate this first (any idea ?) Then.. I am trying to for it into 32 bits.. . tried the -x32 flag with no success. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotfactory Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 so 10.6.1 is out and still no 64-bit support (i have the dlink 542 as well). anyone have any other ideas, or is it simply wait for 10.6.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wziard Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm running 10.6.1, trying to get DWL-G520 to work. In 64-bit it doesn't get recognized by os x at all, and when I try to boot with -x32 I get a kernel panic relating to the card (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.P.Jha Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 My card is a WG311T that device id is listed in Atheros kext my card shows up as airport it says on but doesnt see any networks im wondering if its chameleon rc1 that might be the problem because my card worked in leopard no problems FIXED i changed the pci slot and crossed my finger and it works all the networks showed up in 32 bit mode will try 64 bit mode Is it Netgear WG311T? I had one of these. I think that it uses Marvell chipset rather than Atheros. You can google around and find out any driver is available for marvell Wireless card. cheers...
