hi, guys

 

I try to fix atheros chipset (AR5001,PCMCIA) under Leopard 9a527, it working now ;)

 

1. you need some kexts from Tiger (10.4.5)

IOACPIFamily.kext

IOPCCardFamily.kext

IOPCIFamily.kext

 

2. replace those kext to /System/Library/Extensions , and use "chmod" "chown" command

chmod -R 755 "......kext"

chown -R root:wheel ".....kext"

 

3. use "Disk Utility" to fix those files. .....and Reboot

 

4. when you restart your system, you will got an icon at menu bar, but your wireless card still cannot work.

 

5. use "Terminal"

cd /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros.kext/Contents

vi Info.plist

 

Edit

<key>com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily</key>

<string>2.0</string>

Change

<key>com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily</key>

<string>1.6</string>

 

6. Save this file and use "kextload"

kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros.kext/

 

you will got a success message !! NOW you can use your wireless card !!

 

Enjoy !!
