Romil Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I am a fish about Mac OS X, so I wonder if someone can help me with that Atheros AR5007EG. All I want is to get it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabegol Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I've tried your kext, my AR5006 got recognized for the first time (and believe me, i've tried many workarounds with no sucess), but, for some reason, it appears as "airport not configured" and in system preferences/network it shows up as PCI-E Ethernet Controller....weird... Just a report. Oh, by the way, the system is a Toshiba Satellite a135-s4656 and the wifi card is VEN 168C DEV 001c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZaiS Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 RoyIdeas you damn right. Besides I can't force to working my Ethernet card (Broadcom 4401), because Network Preferences crashes ;( (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=54371) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I just registered to let you know that I think there are MAJOR issues with the AR5007EG. I have a BRAND NEW Aspire 3680 with that card. Went through the "Vista" setup after its very first bootup, and it won't connect. This problem is NOT exclusive to MAC users. It can see the wireless router, but will not connect to it. Just thought you'd like to know. Aces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaiS Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 i loaded this kext, but still no wifi . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaiS Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Aces, I think that you are mistaken, because my wifi-card works (in vista). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhased Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yep both my AR5006X and AR50007EG minipci-e work fine in vista..both are no go in OSX still Maybe i could try the broadcom minipci-e, but it seems as though others are having problems with that too.

Aces Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I thought my experience might have been useful information for you, however it turns out I had to disable Driver Signature Enforcement to let the card work in my Vista setup. That piece of info is really of no use to this thread. Therefore, since it is not useful, I apologize and shall now bow out of the thread. Thanks! Aces.

bemac Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 To Aces, The AR5007 is a superb performer in my Acer notebook. I can sit outside in my garden at the very other side of my house and get a good signal with it. Where the macbook has a usable signal and a powerbook none. It really has surprised me how good a reception it has / wireless link it creates. Must have good antennas too, I guess. That said, it doesn't work with OS X and I am eager to find a solution for it in x86 with my Acer 5570z I can't get wifi nor ethernet.

fsck3r Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 bemac, I saw that you were replying to the other thread from Eskruza, if you use that same audio package he lists but in the customize choose 3 port digital and 6 port, 6port digital...worked for me, still no ethernet or wifi...

bemac Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thank you, for the recommendation fsk3r. I will have to do some experimenting. Tried what you said, but no dice. But, it gives me some ideas for other combinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsck3r Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 What you also have to do is change the settings in the system prefences to use the first "Built-in Speakers" option then change it to the same setting in your output tab -Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bemac Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks, As I had to re-install (rather than trying to fix a bad 10.4.10 upgrade) I selected the azalia sound (instead of realtek) with uphuck 1.3 and sound works via speakers, by default! Was greeted with welcome animation with sound, sample video clip works. No sound over headphones now, but that's no immediate concern to me. I prefer speakers over headphones.

bemac Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 According to atheros cz ... there would be linux drivers for the Atheros AR5007 via madwifi http://www.atheros.cz/ But then madwifi says it is not compatible yet http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility/Atheros but would however be possible with the windows driver. Found this positive ubuntu user report http://ivangarcia.org/blog/?p=13 ; who links these instructions http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dtvgpkz_46fv8dwf Chipset: Atheros AR5007EG (rev 01)PCI ID: 168c:001cDownload the windows 32-bit drivers from here. [ ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/asp...os_v5_1_1_9.zip ] Download and install the last version of ndiswrapper [ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482 ] (it works from 1.45 version)Installation [ http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/...d,installation/ ] Try to remove the module ath_pci to let ndiswrapper to use the wifi. "sudo rmmod ath_pci" or "sudo modprobe -r ath_pci" also try put that module in the blacklist of modprobe to avoid his loading on the startup: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-common Insert this line: blacklist ath_pci Then restart. When u will boot again. Load the windows driver it from the uncompress folder: #ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf then install to modprobe #ndiswrapper -m Maybe an experienced linux user can chime in if this bodes good news? This is out of my league, and may be impossible to replicate in osx / x86. Are we stuck waiting till madwifi would support AR5007? Or till Apple uses that chip in an updated system? Update: I've been informed that ndiswrapper is a linux only tool:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryan51 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Just adding my $.02 on the Atheros AR5007EG. I got a Thoshiba Satellite P200/RT108C It recognizes the built in Web Cam- Chicony Realtek Audio, ALC861, ... working with Azilia driver Realtek RTL81001 NIC .... working with Uphuck 1.4 driver 945GM video ..... detected ok with all resolutions and Q/I I intsalled the ICH7 from Uphuck 1.4 too. Don't know if they make a diff. For the AR5007EG i tried using the 10.4.5+wireless patch from Uphuck 1.4 Seems to be seeing it as Firewire connection So everythings working except the wireless. Doesn't seem to be to many that have got it working if any. So I am dual booting with Vista and MAC for now. Going with WinXP on this is a pain as there are no dedicated drivers from Thoshiba for it. ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well might as well be happy for you. Was a good move from Toshiba hackint0sh wise to diss the Intel periphery and to switch to Realtek (Conexant Audio = Intel High Definition). If you get your Atheros working, please let me know - I ordered an original Apple Atheros from across the great lake, and it ain't working, which still feels like a big blow into my face ..

My AR5007EG shows pci/ven 168c/001c and subsys of 7128144F There are some threads about using Airport 002 update and editing the AirPortAtheros5424.kext. In this kext there are 2 lines for the setup where as in other kexts just 1? Anyways I put in: pci144F,7128 pci168c,001c got no airport icon and its still not showing in Networking etc Has ANYONE got their AR5007EG working and if so what did you do?
