The wiki mentions an atheros mini pci-e with a/b/g support and the 10.4.5 kexts being the solution. However, I've done that and Toshiba says I have an atheros mini PCI (not pci-e?) with only b/g support...what do I do? what kexts do I use? what do I modify? I'm so confused on which atheros card is which and which my laptop has installed. The LED on the side of my laptop for the wireless is orange...
It appears someone else had the EXACT same problem as me, but alas no one ever answered him and he hasn't bee seen on the boards
what do i do??? wracking my brain here Here is what the guy that had the same problem said:
"I'm sorry guys, but I also desperately need help with my Atheros wireless card. I've done everything, but it is listed in the System Profiler.
Things I've Done:
- Copied the two kext files from the 10.4.5 intel update into the Extensions folder.
- Chmodded and chrowned the IO80211Family.kext file.
- Edited the NetworkInterface file (en0 to en1) (actually, the file didn't exist and I created it)
- Repaired permissions on the Mac disk.
My computer specs:
- Toshiba Satellite A55-S106
- 1.4 GHz Intel Celeron M
- 512 MB SDRAM
And here is the info for my wireless card from the terminal:
