garmone Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Will this also work for the DWA 542 Wifi card? If so, do I need to modify the kext or just install it? Thanks Many thanks guys.

riws Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Will this also work for the DWA 542 Wifi card? If so, do I need to modify the kext or just install it? Thanks Just try out, but you have to add your own ID to the driver, it contains only one ID as original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmone Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 So that I don't mess this up: 1) I need to enter an ID similar to what 10torsion did above? How do I know what ID to enter? 2) Is there a really simple tool to install kext files on SL? Thanks Just try out, but you have to add your own ID to the driver, it contains only one ID as original.

PCI168c,23 = USB168c,23??? i speak english not well, sorry I dont think this driver supports USB, cause there aren't any USB Airport Cards, but you can try it out, stay with pci168,23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdawg Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I can say it doesn't work for me. D-LInk DWA-522 with a GA-EP45-UD3P mobo. Added <string>pci168c,23</string> to the info.plist and nothing. This card works fine in Snow Leopard and Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmone Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks for all your help. Using the DPCIM I get 168c:0023 for my Atheros Communications AR51416 Changing the newly downloaded kext file to 168c,23 didn't work - i still have no airport card recognized. I'm using kext helper to install it (and didn't remove the old one). Is there an obvious mistake that I'm making here? Do i need to change it still to -32? Thanks again!

scoobydu Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Checkout netkas.org and get the new Atheros2.1 Works on my Dlink 556 in 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmone Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 So the kext is above and the kext we're meant to modify and on netkas.org, there is some instruction to set the devid. As I'm not sure what that is, presumably I'm not doing things correctly. Any additional guidance or could it be that the Dlink 542 is a lost cause?

scoobydu Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Checkout the comments against the atheros post and download the atheros kext from 10.6.2. Then change the id to yours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmone Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ok. I guess I'm lead to believe that the file linked to above is not that kext extracted from 10.6.2. Since I have no way of having 10.6.2, I'll have to wait for it to come out. Checkout the comments against the atheros post and download the atheros kext from 10.6.2. Then change the id to yours...

riws Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The Link given from me is from 10.6.2, the old 32bit only Atheros driver in Plugins is removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emer_cvt Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 on my dual core rig it works fine (Atheros AR5B91) , just changed the interface dev id (168c,2a) and its working fine (in 32/64 bit mode). sorry new to osx86. how to change dev id. also have AR5B91 on my aspire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmone Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The Link given from me is from 10.6.2, the old 32bit only Atheros driver in Plugins is removed. I think I understand but it still doesn't appear to work for me. By changing the string to: 168c,23 it still doesn't work for me. When you say re-read the comments, do you mean that I should change my string to 168c,13 since that's the devid that worked for netkas?

riws Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 It wont load the kext? If not, try to do it with kextload and look, if Airport is going to be added to Network in System Preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmone Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 It wont load the kext? If not, try to do it with kextload and look, if Airport is going to be added to Network in System Preferences. The steps I was taking were as follows: Open the kext in a text editors and make the changes - save it. Use kext helper to install Restart Result: still no airport recognized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzobelmont Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 sorry new to osx86. how to change dev id. also have AR5B91 on my aspire please read post 24 of this thread.

cocotutch Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I have installed the Kext supposedly from 10.6.2 and numerous other versions to try and get my wireless working. What the hell do I need to do? I found one for 10.5.7 and used that on the 10.5.7 install about a month ago, that wont work in SL. I have installed ones for SL, and they won't work either. My card is Atheros 5000x, that was the name I got AAAAGEEESSS ago and it worked. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendel Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hi, I did some mods in this kext to use in 64bit mode on my Atheros 5005g in Snow Leopard. Maybe it works in other models. http://forum.hmbt.org/viewforum.php?f=135 PS: Put in the /System/Library/Extensions/ to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
