Dutchcoffee Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi, I've read other thread on how to get a Atheros card to work, but it wouldn't work for me. I'm using a Atheros AR9285 WiFi Adapter. Any help to get this to work on (Kalyway 10.5.2) Leopard would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

bellbottom Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Is not possible to make work this card with the actual tools. By the moment, nobody here is capable to develop a useful driver. Other people is thinkig about the possibility to make a port from the ath driver from linux, but nobdy here is capable to develop the driver. Cheers.

Dutchcoffee Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 What does it really take to create a kext for it to work? Could somebody possible use this to get it working? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1286503 Thanks.

asstastic Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Best chance is a port of the OpenBSD athn driver(http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=athn) which is based on the ath9k Linux driver. While the driver lacks io80211.n it should at least get the cards functional. Once mercurysquad completes his port of net80211, porting athn should be relatively easy as most if not all of the iee80211 headers and functions will be available.
