In Topic: TP-Link TL-WN851N - connection dropping

Thanks. Got it solved (in 10.7.3 at least....) See the TP-WN851ND link in topics. Ta for the help!

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle....
I finally got it working. I reverted all the previous changes back to 10.7.3 stock.
Then I tried a IO80211Family that had only a modified AirPortAtheros40.kext and IO80211NetBooter.kext from OSx86.net (http://www.osx86.net...ros_ar9285.html), added pci168c,2d and pci168c,2c the PCI device list. Dumped into Kext Utility, rebooted and now I'm off to the races.
- Airdrop working.
- 300Mbps wireless speed, n/g/b and no hiccups yet.
- WoL not tested.

PookyMacMan,
It seems to be recognized in software (see Screenshot) but I can't turn on the device in network settings...
I've discovered there is a chipset difference between the 851N and the 851ND... so perhaps the DeviceID change you suggested (that I did try) might not fix my issues.
I looked at trying to fool around with the DSDT file to add the device ID there but, quite frankly, I get lost in that stuff quite quickly, I'm afraid.
Thanks for your response though, it was something I hadn't tried.
Take care.

PookyMac Man,
I have a similar card (also a late gift) the TL-WN851ND. I put it in a 10.7.0 Lion build on a similar motherboard to you.
The card is recognized but there are other interface problems which I believe are left over from the previous Wifi card I had in the machine. What combination of .kexts did you actually end up using to get your wifi back?
Thanks!
