Akujin Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I just wrote a giant post that kinda turned into a Guide in the newbie forum. The built in Atheros AR9285 has abruptly stopped working. After examining the connection internally as well as trying Windows 7 it appears that despite the fact that both operating systems can "see" the card, the card can't "see" any broadcasting wireless SSIDs. So in short it appears to be broken. I know that replacements can be easily had on ebay for 10-20 bucks so I'm asking for a recommendation. My preference is something that will automagically work in 10.6.0 and above. It must be MINI PCI-E Express which is HALF the size of Express PCI-E. Examples. This is something of course that I can Google but I would like to hear people's opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be decently supported by the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
