OK man, for wifi not have suport for this chipset, buy a Edimax 300N usb wifi have support with kext RT2870USBWirelles.kext 10.6 10.7 10.8, for Ethernet this kext, install with KextWizard/RepairPermissions/Rebuild Caches and reboot.

 

Good Luck!!!!

 

Atheros AR8161.zip

 

 

I installed this kexts file but ethernet card does not recognise by MacOS :((

 

Atheros AR8161 is a new model and i think it's completely different by the other Atheros cards

post a kextstat: put in terminal app kextstat > ~/Desktop/kext.txt

 

you repairPermissions with kextWizard ?

 

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext

 

 

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

exit

 

reboot, go for System Preferences and add + interface Ethernet, see if this work for you.

i restart my sustem and run this command again

For any developer, this information may be helpful: when loading atherosl1c.kext during boot -v, there are 2 error msg: "mac state machine can't be idle after 10ms" and "could't probe adapter" seems that its not compatible for ar8161..... Hope anyone can fix it soon!!
