I thought that I may as well make my first post here potentially usefull. I have been browsing these forums over the last few days to get MacOS working on my computer and after ALOT of trouble I finally managed to get my atheros based wifi card to work properly under Leopard 10.5.2. The process was as follows:

 

1) Download the latest Airport Extreme Update from the apple site (AirPort Extreme Update 2008-001 for Tiger).

2) Extract the IO80211Family.kext from it.

3) Now you will likely have to edit the Info.plist file under the Contents folder and add your cards vendor and device id- mine was pci168c,1a- to the list under IONameMatch

4) Then follow the usual steps to install the kext into /System/Library/Extensions.

 

Note: I didnt have to do the well known en0 -> en1 tweak for this to work.

 

If you have any questions just post, and Ill likely be unable to answer them :P
