Hello! Thanks to anyone who is kind enough to reply to this! Let me explain my problem. I previously had installed Windows 8.1 on my ASUS K53E laptop, then I installed Windows 10, shortly after that I installed OS X Yosemite using Uni .-. Beast . The display resolution in the recovery mode of OS X (used to install the OS on a mac usually) was flawless (same resolution as normal) which is a surprise because on my other computer that I made a  Hackintosh, the resolution was terrible in recovery. Anyhow I went through with setup and note that there was a "Customize" button but it only included "OS X System and Essentials". So I decided that i wouldn't mess with those and about 30 minutes later OS X 10.10.4 was installed! I clicked continue a few times and then it asked for my type of internet connection. I tried to click Wi-Fi but it was greyed out so I couldn't. I clicked the last option "My Computer Doesn't Connect to Internet". I got to the desktop thinking "Hooray only one medium problem". I tried to connect to internet, didn't work. I tried going into settings and then connecting to internet, didn't work. On another computer I downloaded Multi .-. Beast and installed an Atheros Driver, didn't work. So I am contacting you all to find the perfect .kext file for my Hackintosh. 

 

SHORT INFO

I need a .kext file for an Atheros AR9285 Wi-Fi card for OS X on an ASUS K53E.

 

Thanks to you all!

There is the AtherosWLANInjector kext which survives updates, is easier than all these methods, and works perfectly.
