Hi

I have a real airport card and it shows up in lspci as below - In 10.8 the card flatly refuses to be recognised even though it seems the device id is present in AirPortAtheros40.kext.

Has anyone ever managed to get this card going in ML?

thanks

HiAnyone has much success installing 10.8.2 on an OptiPlex i5 980 ? I know i will need an additional GFX card as the on board one is not supported. I bought a low profile silent nVidea GT 620 as i was led to believe this was supported OOTB but it seems i was wrong.I am trying a myHack retail method and it gets stuck at the point where it seems the onboard NIC is initialised.

Any ideas?

thanks

Hi

I have a real airport card but i just cant sem to get it going in 10.7.4, i have tried this card after my BCM4321 stopped working in 10.7.4 also

According to lspci the card is recognised correctly as

05:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5418 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

but i just cant get it to be recognised and all i see from the OS is 'No WiFi Hardware Installed'

dmesg tells me
