Hi, I bought the AR5B195 wifi card(still hasn't shipped) So, I am using the D-Link DWA - 125 usb wifi dongle. The interent is working fine, I'm posting from my hackintosh install now, but I get these errors.

I've looked around for solutions, but haven't found a solution to my problem. Can someone please help me with this, having a hackintosh without the app store is a big disadvantage. Could it be the dongle's fault, or is it something else?

Here are my specs:

Asus G53SW-A1
Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.0GHz
8GB DDR3 1333 RAM
120GB Agility 3 SSD(I made a 30gb partition on this, the rest is a partition for windows 8)
750GB 7200RPM hard drive
1000GB 5400RPM hard drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX460M 1.5GB
Intel Wi-Fi Card+ Bluetooth
Internal 1920×1080 display

Thanks so much in advance.

First you need to add this in your boot.plist:
<key>PciRoot</key>
<string>1</string>Here is your adapter En1-WIFI,En0-Ethernet(My is En1)and reboot
next step is very important!
Dont open AppStore.....Open iTunes and follow this screenshot:Authorize This Computer
And you are ready for AppStore,but if Have wrong serial number in your Mac never connected(Check with TaimViewer,if work everything is OK)

I added the last part, but it didn't effect it. I only have the dongle added int he wifi area in system preferences, no ethernet. If I change it to 1, my computer has a black screen after the apple logo, and i had to change it back to 0 to be able to boot again. Do I need to add ethernet?

Is this the fix that you're talking about?

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>

PciRoot=0 or 1 is not for setting your ethernet or wifi adapter as en0 or en1, it's for your PCI bus, which your adapter may be connected too since almost everything is on your PCI bus, but it has nothing to do with networking and would not have any effect on a USB wifi adapter. PCI bus does however usually have your graphics card attached to it, which is why the OP got a black screen when changing the value. Authorizing your computer for iTunes also will not have any effect on the Mac App store.

eep357 Thanks for post...for me work

I can't find the site I used before, but I'll explain what made it work. I already had the the ethernet built in set to yes, and the PciRoot set to 0.

1. I first installed a realtek kext to get an emulated ethernet working
2. Then I did was removed all of my networks.
3. I deleted the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
4. Rebooted and added the emulated ethernet first to the list of networks.
5. Used a fake ip adress so the ethernet would fake connect.
6. Added the usb to the network list.
7. Logged int he app store successfully.

The facetime and messages problem was a different issue. when I set my location in the US in the time settings, it got my time wrong, so I set it to another country since it had the time right there. This made them not work since they are not supported in those countries, so I had to sync my my time with the apple time and set my location to the right place for it to work.

Hope that can help someone.

I got it working using a post I found on another site, site no help you for this?

[SnprSlick]

what do you mean you used a realtek kext to create an emulated ethernet? Just install any realtekkext and it will think you have a realtek ethernet installed?
