I everyone, first post on the forum in a long time, so i'm sorry if i've done anything wrong  :)

 

I've got a super annoying problem, i have successfully installed osx Sierra on my HP G2 250, and i incredibly managed to make everything work (including audio, trackpad prefPane automated open/close on startup (so it loads the settings), LAN, sleep (even with lid closing), wake, screen brightness ecc..) 

 

With my previous installation (Yosemite) i have switched the original wifi card (that was totally not compatible) with a friend's AR9B95 (AR9285) from Atheros. Wifi is working almost fine but i think that there's a problem with the wifi card on boot.

 

EVERY time i login into OSX, the wifi icon is there, saying "WiFi active" but it doesn't find any network. So every boot i need to press the wifi button on my laptop twice (don't know why), and then the wifi network list shows up!

 

It looks like (my opinion) that the wifi card could be on at startup BUT for some reason osx doesn't recognise it so i have to do this tricky thing that disables and re-enables the wifi card  :(

 

The led on the wifi button remains orange (instead of changing to white) in both cases... also when i press (disabling) the button, the wifi icon continue to show "wifi active", hence the airport icon is not affected by the keyboard wifi button  :(

 

I don't know what to do, i'm so close to having an almost perfect hackintosh, please help me! Thank you!  :lol:

 

P.S.: I also tried to automate the two key-press of the button on startup using terminal and automator, but it doesn't work.. also the function keys on my hackintosh (like brightness) NEEDS the FN button to work BUT to toggle wifi i only have to press F12 WITHOUT FN down, so i really don't know how to automate this, because simulating F12 press via terminal only emulates the FN+F12 combination  :( .
