ssc351 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hi everyone, Here are my specs: Dell Inspiron 640m or 1405 Intel Core Duo Intel 945gma ddr2 667 ram 2gb Running Kalyway 10.5.2 So i think I've exhausted my search after two days of trying and reading through various forums. I tried using Chun-nun IoPCIFamilyfix because someone said that worked on Acer's in this forum and that in turn got the gigabye wireless card to work. I also tried changing all the kext strings to pci168,1c in both the AirportAtheros and AirportAtheros5424 kext files. Another note, in Ubuntu when I lspci it brings up the card as: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) why the AR242x? I would think it would read AR5424. Anyway.... I have read many people saying this wireless cards has all sorts of problems but the Acer guys seemed to have gotten this going so I am convinced others can get it to work. Which brings up my next question...do i need AirportAtheros or AirportAtheros5424 or both? I went through and manually loaded the AirportAtheros kext but that didn't work and I did the same with the 5424 file and it brought up this error: Also, below is my dmesg file. "sudo kextload -t AirportAtheros5424.kext extension AirportAtheros5424.kext has potential problems: Warnings { "Kext has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style" = true } kextload: extension AirportAtheros5424.kext appears to be loadable 16AtherosInterface is not compatible with its superclass, 16IO80211Interface superclass changed? kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension AirportAtheros5424.kext link/load failed for extension AirportAtheros5424.kext (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)" Dmesg: npvhash=4095 hi mem tramps at 0xffe00000 PAE enabled Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.2: Tue Mar 4 21:17:34 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.4.31~1/RELEASE_I386 standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us vm_page_bootstrap: 511819 free pages and 12469 wired pages mig_table_max_displ = 79 Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style.

codingrobot Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Try rebranding your card using the guide I posted here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=122365 I used to have absolutely the same problem with my Gigabyte WI07HT, rebranding solved it.

ssc351 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Will rebranding the card screw it up for my Ubuntu wireless? I dual boot ubuntu and kalyway right now...Does the rebranding occur within the OS or does it modify the card itself?
