I have a HP G60-630us that I installed iatkos Lion L2.  I didn't check before installing  so I don't know for sure but I believe it has an atheros 9285 wireless card.  I installed a kext I found for this card and it seemed to work.  os x recognized my wireless card.  unfortunately it couldn't find any networks.  after fooling around a bit it discovered my networks and I was able to connect to the internet.  a short while later I rebooted and now can't find any networks again.  how can i get this working?
in system profiler I see the following under the wi-fi

Software Versions:
   CoreWLAN:    2.1.1 (211.3)
   CoreWLANKit:    1.0.1 (101.1)
   Menu Extra:    7.0.1 (701.2)
   configd plug-in: 7.1.1 (711.1)
   System Profiler: 7.0 (700.3)
   IO80211 Family: 4.0 (400.24)
   WiFi Diagnostics:  1.0.1 (101.1)
   Airport Utility: 5.5.3 (553.20)
Interfaces:
  en1:
   Card Type: Airport Extreme (0x168C, 0x303F)
   Firmware Version: Atheros 9285: 4.0.34.7-P2P
   MAC Address:    (I don't think I need to reveal this)
   Locale:   Unknown
   Country Code:
   Supported Channels: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
   Wake on Wireless: Supported
   AirDrop:   Supported

EDIT: after opening up the compartment on the underside of my laptop I find the actual model of my wireless is AR5B95-H.  I've been trying kexts to get this to work but am now not able to get it to recognize it as wireless hardware at all.  please help
