nowned Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I haven't read about how to do it yet, but i'm still looking. Theres native Linux drivers for it now, i'm surprised it's taking so long Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/160177-atheros-ar242x-80211-driver/#findComment-1169234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

liketowastemytime Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I have one of these pieces of junk in my Acer AA0 netbook. I have tried many methods to get it to work including changing kexts and installing various drivers and entering the correct vendor id etc. I even tried recompiling a driver for it. However, in doing some low level probing on this card, it is not what it reports to be. One minute it says it's a AR242x, then the next it's a AR5001, then the next it's something else again. When I have had time, the furtherest I have got, is that now it tells me that it's a Foxconn. I'm now on 10.6.3 and still have had no luck.
