amilmac Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hello, I sucesfully installed 10.6.6 on my notebook acer aspire 5610. My install method was NBI installer + dvd 10.6.3 SL retail + 10.6.6 combo (and reinstalling NBI without reboot, really easy). But in 10.6.6 my atheros wifi is not working, is the AR5005. Really days ago, in a 10.6.0 box and NBI (old version) i get atheros wifi card running, the kext it seems to be IO80211NetworkingFamily.kext, but if i overwrite this file in 10.6.6 not works. My wifi hardware id`s are: pci168c,1a --- 0x168c , 0x418 Thank so much for help!!
