Hi, all...

My Eee PC's Wifi broke recently, after testing sleep. Airport says "no airport card installed" or something like that...

Install method: iAtkos S3 V2 AsereBLN bootloader, Voodoo TSC, VoodooHDA, atherosfix.pkg; netbookinstaller 0.8.4 RC1 Charmelon NBI, General Extensions

Do I need a diffrent kext?

i use AR5B91 aka Ar9281 with no extra kexts.. works oob as its it is 2A while Ar9285 is 2B (not in stock kext.. add it)

 

likely u need to turn off in bios fast boot or quickboot. (someone had this issue and that fixed it.)

make sure your wifi is setup as b+g only that was the issue that worked for my eepc. I used AtherosWiFiInjector.kext and kexthelper to install it. I am only using SL 10.6.3 and I am afraid if I update I will break something.

some atheros 9285 need to be patched in dsdt... and someones only work b+g not n.. check in router..

 

no WLAN (device)

 

into device name_adr 0x001C0001 insert
begin
Device (WLAN)\n
{\n
   Name (_ADR, 0x00)\n
   Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
   {\n
    Store (Package (0x0C)\n
	    {\n
		    "AAPL,slot-name", \n
		    Buffer (0x08)\n
		    {\n
			    "AirPort"\n
		    }, \n
		    "device-id", \n
		    Unicode ("*"), \n
		    "device_type", \n
		    Buffer (0x08)\n
		    {\n
			    "AirPort"\n
		    }, \n
		    "model", \n
		    Buffer (0x34)\n
		    {\n
			    "Atheros 9285 8802.11 b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter"\n
		    }, \n
		    "subsystem-id", \n
		    Buffer (0x04)\n
		    {\n
			    0x8F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00\n
		    }, \n
		    "subsystem-vendor-id", \n
		    Buffer (0x04)\n
		    {\n
			    0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00\n
		    }\n
	    }, Local0)\n
    DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))\n
    Return (Local0)\n
   }\n
}
end

 

with WLAN

 

into device name_adr 0x00 parent_adr 0x001C0001 insert
begin
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
   Store (Package (0x0C)\n
    {\n
	    "AAPL,slot-name", \n
	    Buffer (0x08)\n
	    {\n
		    "AirPort"\n
	    }, \n
	    "device-id", \n
	    Unicode ("*"), \n
	    "device_type", \n
	    Buffer (0x08)\n
	    {\n
		    "AirPort"\n
	    }, \n
	    "model", \n
	    Buffer (0x34)\n
	    {\n
		    "Atheros 9285 8802.11 b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter"\n
	    }, \n
	    "subsystem-id", \n
	    Buffer (0x04)\n
	    {\n
		    0x8F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00\n
	    }, \n
	    "subsystem-vendor-id", \n
	    Buffer (0x04)\n
	    {\n
		    0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00\n
	    }\n
    }, Local0)\n
   DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))\n
   Return (Local0)\n
}
end

Just this code is enough for my PCIe wireless card to work:

 

Device (ARPT)
{
Name (_ADR, Zero)
Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
{
0x0B,
0x05
})
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
Store (Package (0x04)
{
"device-id",
Unicode ("*"),
"subsystem-vendor-id",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00
}
}, Local0)
DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
Return (Local0)
}
}

 

Tipo de tarjeta: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x30A4)
Versión del firmware: Atheros 9287: 4.0.72.0-P2P
