what do you mean for wrong IDs?
I use the same like my card  Screen_shot_2011_06_03_at_5.10.44_PM.png   44.92KB   173 downloads

I want to add info in system profiler so I will add the right IDs

[LatinMcG]

a kextstat and ioreg would help to see why its wrong in list. .. however if its device class 200 not 280. it will show as ethernet. (rebranding older cards)

yes device class is different. I have added

"class-code",                                 Buffer (0x04)                                {                                    0x00, 0x02, 0x80, 0x00                                }

(my macbook ioreg: class-code <00 80 02 00>)
I have just copied it but still not working
anyway ioreg can't recognize also sub-device ARPT, so i guess the problem isn't the injection but something before that one in the ioreg tree. bah!

[iLeopod]

The address of the Pci Bridge is right but your airport is at ethernet@1 so Adr of AirPort cannot be 0.

[LatinMcG]

ok .. u need to find it in ioreg WITHOUT DSDT MOD = "original was POP1"
dont put it in search mode on ioreg .. browse to it to see what shows around it (to put in proper place in dsdt )

Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)

{

Store (Package ()

{

"AAPL,slot-name", Buffer (){"AirPort"},

"device-id", Buffer (0x04){0x1C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00},

"device_type", Buffer (){"AirPort"},

"subsystem-id", Buffer (0x04){0x86, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}, // i FIXED THIS TO THE CLOSEST REAL APPLE MATCH TO YOUR CARDS CAPABILITIES

"subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer (0x04){0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00}

}, Local0)

DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))

Return (Local0)

}

if no good results.. then just remove sub*** id numbers since u dont need as u already added it to plist or used AtherosLegacy

                    Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)

                    {

                        Store (Package (0x0c)

                            {

                                "AAPL,slot-name", Buffer () {"AirPort"},

                                "device_type", Buffer () {"AirPort"},

                                "model", Buffer () {"Apple DSDT Atheros AR5001X+"}

                            }, Local0)

                        DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))

                        Return (Local0)

                    }

if u add the Name (_SUN, One) then it shows in pci slot. not like a real mac. that shows in airport section only. not PCI Cards

i looked in your dsdt ..its modded RP05 and RP06 have PWR 0x09 0x03 .. ? u added or was stock ? cause further down i see the real call GPWR 0x09 0x04 ??
double power control so its wrong ioreg dump and fresh dsdt without the mod of Lan or wireless.. no wonder your wake has issues.

[ytrox]

resuming:
ioreg doesn'recognize ARPT device
method DSM isn't recognized under ARPT
if I add Name (_SUN, One) method DSM is recognized but under RP06 (I will see airprt info under pci cards in syst profiler (but I get double infos about the card). my macbook pro give info about airport under ''pci card'', but only one time , and not under ''ethernet cards''

Thank you soooooooooooo much. Finally my card works.

I get dependency issues when I try to rebuild kextcaches with skvo's kext. You've replaced your IO80211.kext with this? In /Extra/Extensions or /S/L/E?

check out the AR9287 driver page
http://www.insanelym...howtopic=257011
Only works in Mac_OS_X_10.6.7 with mach_kernel Darwin 10.7.4

update to 10.6.7 then
Substitute the existing mach_kernel in the MAC OS system drive and Chameleon's Extra folder with this one. Use a small tool 'ShowAllFiles' to show the hidden mach_kernel. Delete it and copy the new one in. Then hide the files.

[ninditsu]

has anybody tested this fix for lion DP4? disregarding the title of the thread that it is for snow leopard?

[LatinMcG]

should work as its dsdt.. and 2A is supported natively by Snow n up 10.6.3+

[ytrox]

I have got it working, i have changed name ''(_ADR, '' from zero to 00010000. now ioreg recognize arpt device and syst prof see my pci card under pci leaving it under ethernet cards like my m.b.p

now u can use dsdt mod on it to change subvendor and pci class 280 use a subvendor for closest match of chip atheros to apple's.

i'll try thanks....

get a dsdt and show me in ioreg where it is and i can add it.
if u dont have dsdt goto auto-patcher thread.
