Hi,

I just wanna share my little experience about the AR5001-0000-0000 Atheros Chipset on 10.4.7.

First of all, this is just for the PCMCIA cards.

1- Plug your card, then boot the computer
2- Next to the hour (up and right of your screen), you must have a new icon
3- Click on it: you can see the chipset reference of the card AR5001-0000-0000
4- Just copy the attachment that I put bellow to /System/Library/Extensions
5- repair permissions
6- reboot
7- go to Network on your System Preferences and enjoy the "New Airport Interface"

Good Luck

Greetings,
I have a DLink DWL-G630, which reads itentically to your NetGear card on the PC card list, so I figured your drivers that would work with it, but when I installed your files, nothing happens.

Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot for any and all help you can provide.

I did aas suggested. Now my powerbook does not boot any more... Obviously the drivers make the system crash, every time at startup I only get a your system needs to shut down dialog now

worked perfectly on my ibm thinkpad T30! THANKS SO MUCH! only thing that doesn't show up is the airport status in the menubar, but that'll probably come up after reboot. I'm using the dwl-g630 btw. thanks!

:EDIT I check the box for the Airport to be displayed in the manubar, and it didn't work, but after i closed System Prefs I opened it again and checkt he same box, works now! YAY!

How could I do to make it work under Leopard?

Thanx a lot.

same thing happened to me as mformurder, it boots to a black rectangle and my PowerBook won't start. Ugh! Can you suggest anything? I did the steps as outlined above...

I'm betting it won't work (I did the steps, too) until I figured out that the people replying that this worked all have one thing in common: MacBooks (or Hackintoshes). Those of us with PPC Macs are SOL.

So far My Atheros card (a DLink AirPlusG DWL-G630) has only worked in Fedora 9 (but the screen was partially garbled) and SuSe (made the machine crawl, even with 512MB of RAM!) on my PowerBook G3. It had worked in Ubuntu perfectly, but a distro upgrade/X11 upgrade hosed me (so much for newer is better). I was hoping it would work in OS X, but the answer's not here.

Thanks!
