ssdcommander Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I have an acer aspire and I have an atheos ar5b93 network card and I need a kext for that, plus I have an audio card that's supported by voodoohda, and I used ideneb to patch the hda file, it says it's 32bit only and 10.6 doesn't support it.

imacken Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Don't know about your network card, but just search for VoodooHDA in Google to get the latest version that supports 64-bit. 0.2.61 is the latest AFAIK.

Beerkex'd Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Drop it in /System/Library/Extensions, then fix permissions... sudo -s (type your password when prompted and press enter, don't worry it's supposed to be invisible) chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions chmod -R go=u-w /System/Library/Extensions touch /System/Library/Extensions/ ...and reboot.

Or just drop it into kext utility and all that is done for you.

Beerkex'd Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I prefer to do as much as I can manually. Sometimes you just don't have access to GUI tools and then you're {censored}ed if you don't know how to do things from Terminal. Actually I use Kext Utility to repack my extensions.mkext but that's all I use it for. The last (and only) time I ran it on S/L/E it set the permissions wrong.

I just suggested it as the OP didn't seem overly knowledgable, that's all.

Beerkex'd Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Exactly...and what I did was pass that knowledge to him. Fixing permissions via Terminal following the directions above requires the ability to read, type and pay attention. Maybe I'm expecting too much, you tell me!

ssdcommander Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 No it's not to much thanks for your help, to bad my mac went all whack when I installed windows not through bootcamp, I guess I'll wait till my USB wireless adapter comes. I'll tell you how it works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/217133-sound-and-wifi-issue/#findComment-1461801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Maybe I'm expecting too much, you tell me! I have no idea what the OP's capabilities are. That is why I offered an alternative approach. Not saying that one is better than the other. Now, the OP can choose which is most appropriate for him.

Beerkex'd Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 You're right..of course. When I have the patience for it I try to learn to do stuff from Terminal instead of using all those helper apps that are floating around. Don't get me wrong, I have all of those apps and utilities and I use them sometimes, maybe I'm a freak but it feels satisfying to do those things manually from Terminal, I feel like I'm more in control of what's happening. So that's what I try to pass on. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/217133-sound-and-wifi-issue/#findComment-1463197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
