Acer one - AR5007EG driver =="

[PangPa]

I used IPC 10.5.6 (ideneb also seems to be ok.).

and chose AR5007EG as the WLAN driver.

 

if you also installed, you can go download the "IO8211Family.kext" of AR5007EG and install with Kext Helper.

 

Now I am not talking about others, but just the WLAN part.

After installed.

 

1. Use [system Profiler] to check the VID and DID of the card.

HARDWARE->PCI Cards->ExpressCard(second one noted Yes in Driver Installed column)-> Vendor ID : 0x197b and Device ID : 0x2381

 

2. Edit the Info.plist

$cd /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros.kext/Contents/

$sudo nano Info.plist

Find the

<key>IONameMatch</key>

<array>

<string>pci1???,1c</string>

....

...

.

</array>

and change to

<key>IONameMatch</key>

<array>

<string>pci197b,2382</string>

</array>

then save it.

$sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

$sudo reboot

3. Use Kismac to search for network.

I just downloaded version 0.2.99. At first, go to [prefererences] and find the tab for drivers. Add the [Airport Extreme Passive mode]. Be careful that [Active mode] won't work. Exit that menu and then click [start scan].

You will soon see networks coming !!!!!!!! Then quit Kismac and go to airport icon in the top bar and click on Join Other Network. Then click on show networks!!

 

But unfortunately, after I restart .. It never comes again.

Even I do exactly the same thing once more.
