Update: Fixed Problem

 

Thanks to this thread:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=236832

 

I tried the suggestion, replaced the IO80211Family.kext with the version from my 10.6.4 partition and no KP and full working airport (posting this using it now!)

 

Hope that helps any future searchers!

Hi Guys,

 

On 10.6.4 I managed to get this wireless card working using the AtherosFix.kext and inserting my PCI id. I upgraded to 10.6.5 and got a KP relating to AtherosFix. I had read on some other threads that some Atheros based cards don't need the kext any more so I removed it. It didn't seem to work either. I found the following thread:

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=234570

 

This details a fix for a different Atheros based card, by editing the IO80211 standard apple kext to add the device ID.

 

That didn't really work either. The airport interface is shown in my network preferences, but I can't turn it on.

 

Does anyone have any other insight on this?

 

Cheers

 

 

Adam
