I am a fish about Mac OS X, so I wonder if someone can help me with that Atheros AR5007EG.
All I want is to get it work.

VenID: 168C
DevID: 001C

Romil Hey =) we just know how recognized our atheros AR5006, AR5007 ) but in when see in profiles airport write that network not available )) you can try ) Heres my IO80211 kext which includes. Copy this IO80211Family.kext to /System/Library/Extensions then Permissions fixed and in termimal do it
sudo -s

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/


then reboot ) and your airport will be recognized but not working =( kernel panic when connect to your wriless network (
If you have any solution it will be adorable )

i have the same wifi card on my acer 3693.

what changed in this kext?

there add new kext atheros and here recognized our adapter ) but when wanna connect to network will be kernel panic nobody don't know why... we are confused...

I've tried your kext, my AR5006 got recognized for the first time (and believe me, i've tried many workarounds with no sucess), but, for some reason,
it appears as "airport not configured" and in system preferences/network it shows up as PCI-E Ethernet Controller....weird... Just a report.
Oh, by the way, the system is a Toshiba Satellite a135-s4656 and the wifi card is VEN 168C DEV 001c

any ideas?
is it http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...amp;#entry38453 what i need? May be i just may create a soft link on IONetworkingFamily.kext?
i installed mac from uphuck 10.4.9 v1.3.
and my Network Preferences crashes

no don't have any ideas what to do... i'm tired with this adapter... we don't have suggestion... stupid ar5006... and ar5007... don't wanna work good. so sad... really... without wi-fi laptop not laptop it is like desktop with wires... we need wi-fi but he doesn' work... what to do anybody help us =) THX vry much

RoyIdeas you damn right.
Besides I can't force to working my Ethernet card (Broadcom 4401), because Network Preferences crashes ;( (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=54371)

I just registered to let you know that I think there are MAJOR issues with the AR5007EG.

I have a BRAND NEW Aspire 3680 with that card. Went through the "Vista" setup after its very first bootup, and it won't connect.
This problem is NOT exclusive to MAC users.
It can see the wireless router, but will not connect to it.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Aces.

i loaded this kext, but still no wifi .

Aces, I think that you are mistaken, because my wifi-card works (in vista).

Yep both my AR5006X and AR50007EG minipci-e work fine in vista..both are no go in OSX still

Maybe i could try the broadcom minipci-e, but it seems as though others are having problems with that too.

I thought my experience might have been useful information for you, however it turns out I had to disable Driver Signature Enforcement to let the card work in my Vista setup. That piece of info is really of no use to this thread.

Therefore, since it is not useful, I apologize and shall now bow out of the thread.

Thanks!

Aces.

To Aces, The AR5007 is a superb performer in my Acer notebook. I can sit outside in my garden at the very other side of my house and get a good signal with it.
Where the macbook has a usable signal and a powerbook none. It really has surprised me how good a reception it has / wireless link it creates. Must have good antennas too, I guess.


That said, it doesn't work with OS X and I am eager to find a solution for it in x86 with my Acer 5570z

I can't get wifi nor ethernet. JAS 10.4.8 & Uphuck v1.3 (no sound yet either)

Atheros AR5007EG wireless

Marvell Yukon 88E8038 PCI-E fast ethernet

Realtek High Definition sound

bemac, I saw that you were replying to the other thread from Eskruza, if you use that same audio package he lists but in the customize choose 3 port digital and 6 port, 6port digital...worked for me, still no ethernet or wifi...

Thank you, for the recommendation fsk3r.

I will have to do some experimenting. Tried what you said, but no dice. But, it gives me some ideas for other combinations.

What you also have to do is change the settings in the system prefences to use the first "Built-in Speakers" option then change it to the same setting in your output tab

-Mick

Thanks,

As I had to re-install (rather than trying to fix a bad 10.4.10 upgrade) I selected the azalia sound (instead of realtek) with uphuck 1.3 and sound works via speakers, by default! Was greeted with welcome animation with sound, sample video clip works.

No sound over headphones now, but that's no immediate concern to me. I prefer speakers over headphones.

According to atheros cz ... there would be linux drivers for the Atheros AR5007 via madwifi
http://www.atheros.cz/

But then madwifi says it is not compatible yet http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility/Atheros
but would however be possible with the windows driver.

Found this positive ubuntu user report http://ivangarcia.org/blog/?p=13 ; who links these instructions http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dtvgpkz_46fv8dwf



Maybe an experienced linux user can chime in if this bodes good news?
This is out of my league, and may be impossible to replicate in osx / x86.
Are we stuck waiting till madwifi would support AR5007?
Or till Apple uses that chip in an updated system?

Update: I've been informed that ndiswrapper is a linux only tool:(

i saw some positive feedback after updating to 10.4.10 with koolkal-10-4-10-intel-combo-sse2-sse3-V2 package. And people wrote that after update Atheros 5006 & 5007 work!

Hi ZaiS, would you please specify for us which options you enabled/ disabled in Koolkal's installer?

Thanks, mate .

Just adding my $.02 on the Atheros AR5007EG.
I got a Thoshiba Satellite P200/RT108C

It recognizes the built in Web Cam- Chicony
Realtek Audio, ALC861, ... working with Azilia driver
Realtek RTL81001 NIC .... working with Uphuck 1.4 driver
945GM video ..... detected ok with all resolutions and Q/I 
I intsalled the ICH7 from Uphuck 1.4 too. Don't know if they make a diff.

For the AR5007EG i tried using the 10.4.5+wireless patch from Uphuck 1.4
Seems to be seeing it as Firewire connection

So everythings working except the wireless. Doesn't seem to be to many that have got it working if any. So I am dual booting with Vista and MAC for now. Going with WinXP on this is a pain as there are no dedicated drivers from Thoshiba for it.

........
 

man I envy you so much .. look at my sig -- I wish I could have waited for the p200. Oh well might as well be happy for you. Was a good move from Toshiba hackint0sh wise to diss the Intel periphery and to switch to Realtek (Conexant Audio = Intel High Definition). If you get your Atheros working, please let me know - I ordered an original Apple Atheros from across the great lake, and it ain't working, which still feels like a big blow into my face ..

Just adding some further testing results... still not working though...
My AR5007EG shows pci/ven  168c/001c and subsys of 7128144F
There are some threads about using Airport 002 update  and editing the AirPortAtheros5424.kext. In this kext there are 2 lines for the setup where as in other kexts just 1? Anyways I put in:
pci144F,7128
pci168c,001c

got no airport icon and its still not showing in Networking etc

Has ANYONE got their AR5007EG working and if so what did you do?

AR5007EG is not supported even in the current MadWiFi HAL, so the likelihood of any patches having made it upstream to Apple prior to the last OS update are nil, especially as Apple themselves don't use the 2425 in any product (nor is it likely to be used as all new Apple cards are pre-N compatible, and the 5007EG only supports B+G.)

Unfortunately, the Mac Mini's 5006EG implementation uses the same ven & dev IDs as my Abit AirPace (2425/5007EG-based) which only adds to the confusion as most Atheros drivers pick it up as a supported device only to run into a brick wall trying to initialise it.

Not exactly promising news. In looking around on the net I found something by Orange.

Release Notes for v3.3

New In this release:
- Support for the Atheros 5414 chip

Release Notes for v3.2

New In this release:
- Support for the Atheros 2414 chip

So ... is anyone working on drivers for the AR2425 chip set ... AR5007EG at all?

just adding i also now own a acer 3680 with the cursed wifi card. will try and keep you informed of any thing i find out!

Check this link to get your atheros workinghttp://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...p;hl=disk+image"It recognizes the built in Web Cam- Chicony"I searched Chicony and didn't find what you obviously found. Could I get more details? Thanks.

I just checked two separate postings I put in this thread and found them garbled together, here's a translation:

I responeded: I searched Chicony and didn't find [the webcam driver] that you obviously found. Could I get more details? Thanks.

I think getting your 5006 wireless chip working is worth the info to get my webcam working...don't you think?

I also have the Atheros AR5007EG .. It's not really a AR5007EG its more like a AR5x.. but Windows detects it as a AR5007EG. The thing is that this chip is extremely new, and people weren't ready for it, even madwifi.

go to this post, i just put it up
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...0&hl=ar5006

I also had a 5007EG and did not work. I replace it with an Apple card (MA688Z/B) with a Broadcomm chip. Still the same problem! There's only FireWire showing up in the Network control panel. I booted up with Ubuntu and it's showing normally like my other Atheros card...

Now I have 2 questions:

1. I'm not an expert, could it be possible that the PCI-E bus is not recognize properly?
2. Is the installers in fault? I tried 10.4.8, 10.4.9 and 2 different 10.4.10 and always the same problem.

Thanks!

aces is right, i re-installed vista after i couldn't get any network connections whatsoever in 10.4.10. When I tried to install the drivers for this particular card (5007eg) it was a bee-och! So I can only guess as to the difficulty the people writing the drivers are having. Btw... those select few who write drivers for hackintosh are amazingly brilliant people.

Hi I have the same adapter on my Toshiba satellite a200-1m4 and I am trying to make it work on my Leopard x86 ToH but I can't manage with it. If someone can explain simply how to do it on Tiger maybe it would work on Leo too just like my sound driver. 10x a lot

i have a same wifi card wiht you ,VenID: 168C DevID: 001C ,anybody get it work??

THX all the same to everybody, but now my AR5007EG is still not work. ah~~ :=(
I tried all the ways which you said, and my Acer 5570z is still not work now.

Waiting for someone who can get it work,
and dont forget to tell us how to do.

any update of this drive? help!!

Notes: How-to compile madwifi and the patch
I think that now when its suported from the MadWifi someone colud try to think out a solution

itd be awesome if someone found a solution to this.

Same problems with this card... i hope someone to find a solution

Same problem. Looking for someone's brilliant idea on how to solve the issue.

It seems I am not alone...
I have an Aspire 4315.
Everything is working perfectly, LAN, Graphics, Sound etc. But no matter what I try, I can't get my Atheros AR5007EG (VenID: 168C DevID: 001C) to work. I'm desperate for some help with this, as I've fallen in love with OS X

so its impossible to get ar5007eg to work? i run iatkos something, tried a couple of kext edits, but no luck...

i have 5007eg too，but dont work.555~~~~

I got that card working under Linux..
you need to fetch http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwi...6+ar5007.tar.gz
I don't know how to make a kext from it, yet... but I think it shouldn't be so difficult..

I use this script to compile


anyone care to tell me how to achieve the same on MacOSX?

RK

DO IT! I dunno how to make kext, is it that simple take a driver and make it

okay from what I gather I have better luck trying the freebsd port of madwifi - ar5k
which is fully open source...

Well, I also unfortunately have the terrible luck of having this wireless card. Nothing so far has worked, including using Chun-Nan's Kexts.

In reference to roadkill's post, I also have gotten this wireless card working on linux with the patch thoes folks made. Apparently, something is slightly different with the 5007EG that they need to make the 5007EG work. Here is a discussion about the patch:
http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679

Was wondering if anyone could look at how the MadWifi was patched and apply it to the OSX drivers? A lot of people are having a ton of issues with this ethernet card, so we would really appreciate it .

Someone will make us good news?
