LtBrenton Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi, so I figured the weirdness of the AR5007 on 10.5.6 warrants its own discussion thread, maybe we can get it working too My system: Toshiba Equium P200: Intel Pentium Dual-Core, 2GB RAM Audio: Some form of HDA Intel (working with Azalia) Graphics: Mobile Intel 945GM (IIRC) Wireless: AR5007EG LAN: either Realtek or Attansic, working OOB I've tried *ALL* the methods in the previous AR5007 thread, believe me, all of them - changed en0 to en1, patched my DSDT, installed several IO80211Family.kext's, but no dice - wi-fi turns on and appears to work OK, however doesn't find any networks and Kismac just sits there scanning endlessly. So, let's get some 10.5.6 specific discussion going EDIT IT IS WORKING: For those of you running 10.5.6, I recommend you use ToH Sleep Kernel and follow the methods in the other thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckcalo Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 What do you mean "it is working" ? Can you please be more detailed here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LtBrenton Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 What do you mean "it is working" ? Can you please be more detailed here? I mean, with the ToH Sleep kernel, the posted AR5007 kexts in the main thread work exactly as described - boot, run Kismac, and the networks appear.

Oh the Huge Manatee Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Just installed the sleep kernel, no difference for me. Using iPC 10.5.6 on a compaq c700, atheros 5007. Everything looks like it's going to work great, but when i hit "start seach" in kismac, nothing happens after it loads the driver/auths me. i don't get it. EDIT: In console, KisMAC gives me "Error opening airport device using pcap_set_datalink()" The only reference I can find to pcap_set_datalink is in some obscure codehacking mailing lists. Ideas?

unlistedj Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 has anyone else had any luck using this method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izernet Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 not for me i have a kernel panic with this method!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pressure Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 whats going on with 10.5.6 did apple break something on purpose? for example, my neatgear wnp311 works great with the drivers on 10.5.4 but nothing I tried makes my card work in 10.5.6 also my firewire card does not show up in 10.5.6 I can still use it for my pro audio and video stuff, in 10.5.4 everything works. I just dont understand if it works in 10.5.4 what happened in 10.5.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtBrenton Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Update again: I just had to reinstall, followed the exact same method I used the first time, now no dice...Including ToH Sleep kernel... Time to yank hair out I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtBrenton Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Got it working again, ironically from reading my original post and following my own instructions to the letter The absolutely bizarre part of all this? It seems to break my graphics driver! About 55-60% of the time I boot with the IO80211Family.kext from the main AR5007 thread, I get the neverending bluescreen hang...however if I disable the GMA950 drivers and boot to VESA it comes up sweet as a nut every time. Any thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtBrenton Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 OK...fixed the graphics driver problems with some kexts found in another thread (I can't remember offhand which thread) Now the wi-fi card appears to be permanently pining for the fjords under Mac, the best I can do is a KisMAC scan which finds no networks. The worst is a KisMAC scan resulting in a kernel panic...Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Techie456 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Did you try -v (A.K.A verbose mode) before booting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
