Namek91 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I've that same fc-uking problem ! Everything's work, but not my WiFi (Atheros AR5007EG). I'm on 10.6.2 Hazard distribution (after install this distro I'm type 'x' in "Atheros Fix 10.6.2", but it doesn't change anything ). I didn't use Ethernet cable, but WLAN, so it's VERY important to me, to get the working solution. If not, I will have to change the system, and coming back to Windows . God damn it, any solution!? HELP US!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to install the kext only via the kexthelper, right? Yes, and download the App "KisMac" I've moded this kext for Snow Leopard After you reboot the AirPort icon will pop up on the menubar before setup the AirPort launch KisMac go to Preferences/Driver/ And Select AirPort Extreme Card PASSIVE MODE select the channels and close kismac. Then open system preferences/Network/ A Messenge will come up saying !"AirPort ....." click ok. Then click apply. On the menubar, turn the AirPort On. (When you turn it on, it won't scan for anynetworks!!! its normal because the 5007 is not 100% OS X Compatible, so we need to trick OS X, lauch KisMac and click Start Scan, you probably will see your network, if don't reboot the bad thing is you need to keep rebooting until you view the network.

WinSucks_4ever Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I Think I may know the problem!. Ok Don't give up!! Let's see if I understand after you reboot, when you go to the AirPort icon on the menubar and click it it says something like "No AirPort Card installed" or something like that? Heres a link it may help this link is about 10.5 Leopard, but since the 10.5 kext worked in Snow give it a try do all the steps in the post except the instalation of the AirPort Update http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...aded&start= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Gates Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi all, i have the same problem too. I have an MSI Wind u100 MS-N011 which is weird enough not to have the REALTEK wifi card in it (works great in Leo and Snow Leo), as unlucky i am as you guys, it has the atheros AR5007EG card in it. Weirdest thing is that it was working with 10.5.6 and now that i have 10.6.2, the fan icon for the airport in the taskbar has the "X" in it. And you can't turn it on via Network in System Preferences. Anyone has a fix? please inform us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatim5691 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 plz solution for 10.6.3 airport dont turn on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAlchemyFreak Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yeah, I've got the exact same problem. I was finally able to find kexts to get the fan icon. Before, even that wouldn't show up. Now, I can't get a single thing going. Airport won't turn on, and the Airport Utility doesn't see anything attached. If I can get the wifi working, then I will be a happy camper. Oh, one more thing. If anybody here has an Acer Aspire One A150, were you able to get the ethernet working? I really hope someone can find a solution for the whole wifi thing.
