Hi.

 

You can find some information in Netkas' site, here: http://netkas.org/?p=315

He provides a legacy kext (http://files.netkas.org/10.6.2/AtherosFix.kext.zip), so you can use your card in 32 or 64 bits mode.

more informations here: http://www.efixusers.com/showthread.php?t=528

Hope this helps.

 

Edit: have bought one today, just had to change pci id in kext, mine is pci168c,29; works like a charm.

here is modified kext: AtherosFix.kext.zip

Hi.

Are you sure your id is 168c:0029 ?

 

I have read here that it works, but with kext available on thread first post, which contains pci id 168c:0023

 

Maybe you can try this kext, or show us what lspci reports about your card ?

 

I don't see the card under pci cards as i didn't declare it in DSDT, but i'll try to do it asap.

 

Just let me know.

 

 

My adapter is D-Link DWA-547

 

lspci output:

04:01.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR922X Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0029] (rev 01)

Subsystem: D-Link System Inc Unknown device [1186:3a78]

Edit:

 

Done it with DSDT, no kext, but TheKing had already done here

so code working on my mobo is

                Device (WLAN)
               {
                   Name (_ADR, Zero)
                   Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                   {
                   	Store (Package ()
                   	{
                   		"AAPL,slot-name", Buffer () {"PCI Slot 1"},
                       	"class-code", Buffer () {0x00, 0x80, 0x02, 0x00},
                       	"device-id", Buffer () { 0x2A, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },
                       	"device_type", Buffer () { "AirPort" },
                       	"model", Buffer () {"Atheros 802.11 b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter"},
                       	"subsystem-id", Buffer () {0x87, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00},
                       	"subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer () {0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00},
                       	"vendor-id", Buffer () {0x8C, 0x16, 0x00, 0x00}
                       }, Local0)
                   	DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                   	Return (Local0)
                   }
               }

 

My card is under P0P1, add the device where needed in DSDT.
