I read some dude wanted to rebuild a bios - after changing the osys to get 5007EG working.
Yes, phoenix bios editor does allow to compile a new bios image after a change - I did successfully hack my hp dv9850 phoenix bios and put it back together again - successfully..
If there is any need for help regarding this - I may be of assistance.
change the darn osys value - send me a zip of the files and Ill compile it.
Also notice: When u decompress the bios with phoenix bios editor there is a temp directory
inside programs phoenix bios editor - here lies all the modules that make up the bios file.
modify the value in the correct file - then compile the bios - easy as hell.
I dont exactly remember who wanted to do this - but it was some pages earlier in this thread.
I just read all of this crap to figure out what to do to my 5007EG - gonna try sum {censored} tonight and see what I come up with.
Running osx 10.5.4 on acer aspire one - with all things working except wlan
even webcam works nicely in photobooth. no issues

This sounds promising, although I think most people would be a little nervous about potentially bricking their BIOS. Also, would this affect it in windows? I have an acer aspire 5315 and my daughter uses it for homework (she hates using windows, which is why I put Leopard on it).
Hi Presko!
Can you help me to apply mad wifi patch?

i had trouble make my card working on linux
the madwifi patch was wery slow and ndiswrapper... well how to tell ... sucks (but worked)
then i found that madwifi made a new driver called ath5k who didn't need hal...
and i found a dev version wo worked like hell (on linux off course)
is it so complicated to convert a linux driver on mac ?!?
Instead of bitching around with each other, why don't we be of good help to each other by providing details for our atheros card. there are a lot of people depending on this forum to have their respective cards to work. We need solutions for our atheros cards and no another problem from people whom we thought could hold the solution.
unfortunatly i don't know how to devel a driver ...
but for those wo know, here is the linux driver that worked with ar5007 cards, maibe can someone port it
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/peo...3-ath5k.tar.bz2
but for those wo know, here is the linux driver that worked with ar5007 cards, maibe can someone port it

omg, please someone help us with this driver
I'm stuck with a AR5BMB5 Atheros card... I have little use for osx without this working. I'm happy to commit many hours to this, but I'm not sure what to try anymore. I have installed the 5008 Atheros driver, but doesn't seem to have changed anything.
*** Edit ***
I'm not sure why when I re-ran the installer (hence already installed stuff was marked as "upgrade") and selected the 5008 driver it didn't seem to work whereas when I reformatted and reinstalled it did.
The following post contains potentially helpful info on this.

Okay, that wasn't THAT hard to get working. The jist is I needed to install the Atheros Drivers (5008) from the iATKOS installer.. That got my wireless pretty much entirely working - except that it wouldn't connect to WPA networks.. For that, you can just manually run:
After that, I wrote a tiny script to auto run the above on boot as I usually will use my laptop at home on the same network. Not sure if I'll have too much pain when I go around.
Well, I guess I've found "a" solution... I guess this is reasonably graceful all things considered. Related posts below:

Obviously you are not intelligent after all. You just like to bitching to any one that you don't like. I don't owe you anything too. So, you can go away. You are not deserve to be here. I know now that you are too stupid that your stupidity blind you to see the bigger picture.
You can go away now.
You can go away now.
Sounds like you're having a nice little temper tantrum over there. Isn't there a minimum age requirement to post on these forums? ha ha ha, I suppose not.
I appreciate you're frustrated - this is hard stuff to figure out and I totally feel your pain as I'm a noob with this {censored} too. But freaking out and being overly rude like that doesn't help anyone. BuildSmart was trying to give you the means to solve problems for yourself - if he tried to actually just do the work for you, it'd be a poor use of his time as he wouldn't be able to help as many people!
Take care Kizwan - I hope you've had more luck getting this going lately.

Are you sure your hardware ID already exist in the athreos kext file? Your minipcie bus may misconfigured by bios. Try ~Eureka's (Chun-Nan) IOPCIFamily.kext. Search in this forum.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I finally got my IBM 11a/b/g card working with this kext! (it's the Atheros 5424 chipset, AR5bxb6 model)
I'm so glad I got this working because I've been trying to make internet work in some way for over two months. Big thanks!
