u never boot without dsdt .. is in u bios.. u boot with original dsdt or a patched one

 

see Clover instructions

 

good hack

You said must boot without it? You mean the DSDT? I don't understand what you are saying?

hello

 

man if u boot with patched dsdt it show that adress.. like u see in ioreg pic...

 

the values are in the dsdt if they are wrong.. he show wrong values...

 

it seem you don't know what are DSDT... and a patched one... the original dsdt is extracted from your bios and patch to work with mac os x..

 

but it is from u bios... only apply some patches to make compatible hardware work full optimized with mac os x.. i'm sorry you don't understand what i'm saying.. i'm not the best in english , is not my native language.. but what i see you don't know about what are  we talking.. the issue.

 

good hack

X-TRiAL,

 

You can try the attached DSDT. It's what I use in Mavericks to get my 9285 working.

I will try, but is this my DSDT with your patch?

I know what a DSDT is and why we have to patch it... You told me to boot without a DSDT which didn't make any sense. I'm not sure what you are wanting me to do.

Yes, exactly. (Well, RehabMan's patch with "compatible" injected, too, for Mavericks compatibility. :))

 

EDIT: I did word my original post oddly...

DP4 is buggy!

ATH-AR5B95 work without DSDT edit!

Just install DP5 and add the <string>pci168c,2b</string> to the original DP5 IO80211Family.kext /plugins/Atheros40.kext info.plist

and it works

DP4 is also buggy and in real mac! the same problem with wifi failure in a friends mac book pro.

Adding the ID is the only way I have gotten this card to work since ML was released.

Here is my DSDT for WLAN.

 

Device (WLAN)
                {
                    Name (_ADR, Zero)
                    Method (_RMV, 0, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        Return (Zero)
                    }
 
                    OperationRegion (MINP, PCI_Config, Zero, 0x68)
                    Field (MINP, ByteAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
                    {
                        VNUM,   32, 
                                Offset (0x09), 
                        PINF,   8, 
                        SBCC,   8, 
                        BSCC,   8, 
                                Offset (0x2C), 
                        SNUM,   32, 
                                Offset (0x34)
                    }
 
                    Method (MPDP, 0, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        If (LEqual (SNUM, 0xFFFFFFFF))
                        {
                            Return (Zero)
                        }
 
                        If (LNotEqual (BSCC, 0x02))
                        {
                            Return (Zero)
                        }
 
                        Return (One)
                    }
 
                    Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        Return (GPRW (0x09, 0x03))
                    }
                 }
            }
 
 
Its the default with my extracted DSDT from my motherboard and without injection and it works.
But the point is that there is no need to add extra code if your wireless was working before in ML or other maybe mavericks DP1,2,3
I faced the same problem with a real mac book pro so i think its just DP4s problem

Hi, bro.

Do you know the point of this code extracted from your Device(Wlan) 

Method (_RMV, 0, NotSerialized)

                    {

                        Return (Zero)

                    }

_RMV seems to be remove.

Removable device i think 1 is removable 0 is not. 

Why my bios extract should return a remove in my wlan device?

I was also curious about this. I did not see anything related to RMV in my dsdt though.

May work with compatible only (Tried and work like a charm on 10.8.5).

 

Update: Work on 10.9

Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)  // _DSM: Device-Specific Method
                    {
                        Store (Package (0x02)
                            {
                                "compatible", 
                                Buffer (0x0A)
                                {
                                    "pci168c,2a"
                                }
                            }, Local0)

My BT is shared with the network card. I've got Wifi but BT isn't even detected (can't even see IDs). Is there anything I can do to get BT working?

 

Thanks

Hi, i have this wifi and i´m using this kext (IOUSBFamily.kext)

It works perfectly for me in Mountain Lion, but in Mavericks appear, search, but does not connect to my WPA2 wifi.

I´m using clover with no DSDT.

 

Hope it helps

If you use Clover without DSDT. You must patch DSDT as it described in the first and thirteenth posts.

Hi and thanks ; this is the code i use to get my Atheros AR985 working on H77N-WIFI and 10.9.4 with vanilla kext :

                    Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
                        {
                            Return (Buffer (One)
                            {
                                 0x03
                            })
                        }
                        Return (Package (0x0E)
                        {
                            "device-id", 
                            Unicode ("*"),

                            Buffer (0x08)
                            {
                                "AirPort"
                            },

                            }, 
                            "model", 
                            Buffer (0x35)
                            {
                                "Atheros 9285 802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter"
                            }, 
                            "subsystem-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)

                                 0xAB, 0x30, 0x00, 0x00
                            }, 
                            "subsystem-vendor-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                 0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00
                            }
                        })
                    }

Insert into RP07@PXSX0 and change PXSX to ARPT. Good hack.

Hello,

 

If i change /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros40.kext/Contents/Info.plist and then 

<string>pci168c,2a</string> to <string>pci168c,2b</string> my AR9285 works.

However, i prefer Vanilla so i want to patch my DSDT.

Unfortionaly this doesn't work:

 

#   Airport fix works with vanilla IO80211 kext
into method label _DSM parent_label PXSX remove_entry;
into device label PXSX parent_label RP02 insert
begin

hello

 

should use this

into device Label PXSX parent_label RP02 replace_content  begin
Name (_ADR, Zero)\n
Name (_SUN, One)\n
Name (_PRW, Package (0x02) {0x09,0x04})\n
    Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
    {\n
   If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n
   Return (Package()\n
               {\n
"AAPL,slot-name","AirPort",\n
"built-in", Buffer () {0x00},\n
"device-type","AirPort",\n
"model","Atheros AR9x8x 802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless Network Controller",\n
"name", "AirPort Extreme",\n
"compatible","pci168c,30"\n
   })\n
    }\n
end;

good hack
