I've just got iPC working on my ASUS P5Q3 (Q9400, 2x2GB DDR3 1333) setup. Got everything else working, except the WiFi I have. (WPN111, though I do have a different model used in the other room...I'm considering the option to swap both of them later on)

 

But first thing's first. It should be known that Netgear WPN111 uses an Atheros chipset (AR2414 apparently. any way to check on Windows?)

 

I've already tried installing the IO80211Family.kext included with iPC, and an Atheros.pkg file that was floating around here, but so far no luck. I've even tried adding the PID/VID into the Info.plist of the AirPortAtheros-whatever file, still no go. (Despite being successfully loaded on kextload command)

 

If anyone's got any advice, or needs some information that could possibly help find a solution, please reply.

 

Thanks.
