Islam94 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hello, I've brought Atheros AR5B95 lately and I tried to configure the wifi to work but with no hope! Ive installed many kexts and with no luck ! so far I got the Card to be shown but when I hit Turn on Wi-Fi nothing happens! tried to remove the card , the configure for the wifi disappeared Guides shown on the internet shows that the wifi will work after installing the required kexts only any help?!

onizuka470 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi, SLE = / Sytem/ Library /Extensions ? I used Ikext to install the fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengik84 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi, SLE = / Sytem/ Library /Extensions ? I used Ikext to install the fix Yes, System/Library/ Extensions you have to rebuild the cache, then... Or, you can use this to install, does everything automatically You must, also, have set, CrsActiveConfig 0x3 (clover) or 103 (enoch / Chameleon) Personally, I use clover, and I keep my kext in EFI folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onizuka470 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thanks, but where i've to put " CrsActiveConfig 0x3" in clover ? (sorry it's my first installation, i've to learn now , i use clover because every install with chameleon gets a unknow error at the end.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the kext and works ... However, you first have to change the config Restart, then install the kext. Try to put it in EFI/Clover/kext/10.11 Check in config.plist, System paramenters, having inject kext = Yes Restart and rechecked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gengik84 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I see you're using a distro ... I suggest you do a fresh install, using the official version from the app store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onizuka470 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @Islam94 I just installed the kext files, IO80211Family.kext and toledaARPT.kext but don't worry, it is powering on but found nothing... so i think it's say it's On but it's still off @Gengik : I'm trying with the original El Capitain from the app store but uni bea st stuck at Installing Bootloader :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gengik84 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 If you want the Atheros AR5B95 to work (nearly) OOB, a simple DSDT patch suffices! The ToledaARPT kext is now obsolete afaik. http://forum.osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-inventory-of-unsupported-and-supported-wireless-cards/ Me thinks it's much better than any add-on kext. Now I say this, I say nothing... Hi Hervé, I agree on the patch to dsdt. A newbie can know how to do this? I think every person should grow their knowledge ... one step at a time ToledaARPT, although outdated as you say, but still works ... This is the reason for my choice ... @Gengik : I'm trying with the original El Capitain from the app store but uni bea st stuck at Installing Bootloader :\ Look here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/305255-making-a-10101011-usb-installer-w-clover-uefi-and-legacy-the-correct-way/page-1 Install bootloader in legacy mode good job...
