About This File

Modified IO80211Family.kext especially who use device based on Atheros40 (the idea came from CtlnaAHCIPort.kext) so we don't need to touch /S/L/E just inject via OpenCore, and we can running Big SUr without open Sealed (no need remove/delete vanilla IO80211Family.kext in /S/L/E)

 

I'm not try in Mojave or Catalina but I'm sure is worked too

 

1. just put 2 kext HS80211Family.kext & AirPortAtheros40.kext  .../OC/Kexts and make sure inject via config.plist

  do not inject IO80211NetBooter in the plist (must do research so i leave there in plugin),  I remove IO80211NetBooter from plugin so as not to confuse

see my pict below just add 2 value

2. you can add value manually VendorID in IONameMatch (atheros40) if your ID not present

 

3. refer to @MaLd0n guide in olarila for working Wifi Atheros AR9565, AR9462, AR9463, AR9485

here is the modification (no need injector)

AR9565 AirPortAtheros40-9565.kext.zip

AR9462 AirPortAtheros40-9462.kext.zip

AR9463 AirPortAtheros40-9463.kext.zip

AR9485 AirPortAtheros40-9485.kext.zip

 

Additional : Fake Locale & Country Code

 

Use this kext WifiLocFix.kext.zip to fix Locale & Country Code (Fake AirPort Location Interface)

and don't forget to inject in your config.plist

Maybe its time to mod 8011Family of Mojave

I am not sure but I think it does not support Atheros WiFi

Hierra version is the newest one

If I recall, Mojave's IO80211Family + High Sierra's AirPortAtheros40 worked untill Catalina. I only switched to your modded kext in BigSur, because BigSur wont allow it to load if not modded.

I would like to understand why it does not crash and restart to you while we who use them only happens with Monterey while Big Sur no problem.
Can you tell us which bootloader you are using?

IO80211Family.kext был переименован в IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext. Я добавил к нему AirPortAtheros40, но это не сработало.

If earlier the panic was on IO80211Family.kext, then right now the panic is not on this kext. I deleted IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext anyway panic.

It is the atheros that is causing the panic, not the hs80211family.

The kext that does not work an startup is the AirPortAtheros40.kext since I just tried the other kext to activate is HS80211Family.kext and the system boots withourt wifi but boots.

Did you add the kexts in your config under Kernel -> Add as you've done with the other kexts your system loads?

cmq is excellent news which means that the atheros cards can work with Monterey, now you have to do the necessary configuration for the various models that are used ..

pci168c,2b is value for 9285 (that I forget to insert before) and I think @gemep not in Monterey, I do experiment with broken sealed, create new snapshot and rebuild kernel but still not load

no need for snapshot

you may load by sudo kexload AirPortAtheros40.kext etc

but it does not work ((

IO80211Family is incompatible

All possibilities has been tested. We wait for the next beta :)

Yes .. I know with sudo kextload but not load, so I'm playing with prelinkedkernel and BootKernelExtensions but still no luck

Big Sur bets have been released for both developers and public, so it is assumed that the next one will soon be Monterey, which we hope can activate the Atheros cards

"Out of curiosity", I created a folder in /usr/local/bin and  placed  the 3 modified kext (CtlnaAHCIPort, HS80211Family & MO80211Family) along with my other backup kext, then ugrade it to Monterey,  to my suprise,  only the 3 kext were deleted on-the-fly during the updrade. This happen too on a clean install. It will also be deleted no matter where you put it in the target disk during install.

It looks like those apple's modified kext are being scanned and deleted or blocked if it was modified.

This didnt happen in BigSur.

Ciao a tutti, con il nuovo aggiornamento Monterey beta 2 è stato risolto il problema di attivazione del WiFi atheros?

SPYAM

Hello
I installed Big Sur 11.4
But I have a WiFi problem
Do you have a video on YouTube that I install according to the video of the WiFi driver?
Because according to this text tutorial, I can not install in the topic and I am a beginner.
My WiFi model is also 9565.
