sosleepy Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Radiance, can you provide some details on how you installed Snow on the 1000HE? What guide did you follow? Im getting KPs no matter what I try. I have tried directly installing Chameleon RC3 and I have also tried the netbookinstaller method. I was getting KPs with my 1005HA using any particular guide, but after a long while i got SL installed using steps 1-7 of this guide (mainly for the bootloader) http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/how-to-inst...-on-a-pc-t3137/ using the PCI-EFIv10 bootloader found here: http://cid-8b65993ef55cf014.skydrive.live....FI?view=details then i ended up starting on step 4 of this guide: http://www.hackint0sh.org/f213/84907.htm but... i only used the general extensions options from netbookinstaller (using netbook installer for a bootloader kept giving me KPs) Im not 100% sure on the ordering i used (installing bootloader or kexts first) but im not sure it matters.

Im getting KPs no matter what I try. I have tried directly installing Chameleon RC3 and I have also tried the netbookinstaller method. I also had KPs with pretty much every guide I used, but this one did the trick: http://prasys.co.cc/2009/08/installing-sno...pard-for-osx86/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171641-wireless-ar9280/page/2/#findComment-1262850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorpod Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Confirming that Atheros 9280 on the 1000HE is supported on Snow Leopard out of the box. no configuration or additional programs/drivers required. Shows up as an Airport card just like a regular Apple card.

Imperiopolis Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I've given up my efforts on the 9285, I don't think it will work from what I've read on some of the differences online from the rest of the 928x series. I've installed a dw1510 and now have full wireless in my eeePC 1008ha. I'd recommend swapping out this card if you want wireless.

The Jack of Clubs Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 i dont wanna crack this one open. i guess the solution yet again is to just use windows. it seems every os x pc i have, the final solution is give up and use windows instead. thats depressing.

danwan Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Is there any other way to internet, such as an USB adaptor one can plug in my eeePC 1008ha? I am not tech enough to open the lappy and replace with the Dell 1510 .... Either for wireless or ethernet would be good. Any ideas, thanks?

Nameci Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have Broadcom 4311 for wifi, but it is identified as a third party card. I have read somewhere here or in some forums i cannot remember now that Atheros 9280 is recognized as an apple extreme card. I am in China so I immediately look for and found one discarded from an HP notebook. Swap in the card with the BCM4311 and voila! I have airport extreme!

jaxparo Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The iMac Wi-Fi Update for 10.7.3 of Feb.2012 contains a plugin kext for the IO80211Family called AirportAtheros40 which is the correct driver for the AR9280. You may need to add your specific ID# to the info.plist, as is it only supports IDs Vendor ID 0x168c (Atheros) with Product IDs 0x0030 & 0x002a. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1501 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/171641-wireless-ar9280/page/2/#findComment-1800925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
