Matt3141 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 this is error messege AtherosController.cpp loaded unsuccessfully That's really strange. I have the exact same Atheros mini-PCI card, the AR5BX72, and it works perfectly under 10.5.8. However I upgraded to 10.6.1 and the card not only doesn't work, it is not even visible to the system. I switched it out with an identical one (at great expense) and same problem. Repeated testing and rebooting seems to prove that this is a problem with 10.6, not the hardware. Card works perfect under Windows 7 Ultimate. I think there may be different revisions of the card, or firmware, or both. I've been very frustrated and have ordered a Broadcom-based card to resolve the issue.

Laberlohe Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 AFAIK is there no 64bit kext for any ATHEROS-based device... Realtek seams to be no better choice. Having a DWA-547 and a P54G2, both working under Snow Kitty just in 32bit-mode :-( Would be so kind to post if your Broadcom-WiFi will work, especially out-of-the-box? Thank and good luck!

Claymm Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hi everybody, I just got an Atheros AR5BXB72 on eBay on order to have my Hackintosh fully functional. My configuration is : Dell E6400 14" Core 2 Duo P9700 2,80Ghz 6Mo 4Go DDR2 nVidia Quadro 160M 256 Mo 1440x900 Intel 5100 a/b/g/n I've got on port miniPCI and another one micro miniPCI (half of the normal size of a miniPCIe) I removed my 5100 from the micro miniPCIe in order to put my new Airport card on the miniPCI port. I put the black connector on the 1 and the white one on the 0. On Seven it's working but nothing happens on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Vanilla Install. Can you guys help me to make it works ? Thanks in advance. Cheers. Claymm. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149591-ar5bxb72atheros-ar5008-oem-macbook-card/#findComment-1416472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
