meysq Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I just installed SnowLeo 10.6.0 on my Toshiba Satellite L45-S4687 and have been able to get everything working except for my Wi-Fi card (Atheros AR242x.) I've installed multiple IO80211Family and Atheros kexts and only one has worked, but did not turn on AirPort or scan. Is there any way I can get this card to work? It's the last thing I need to have a fully working system. Thanks in advance!

Possibly related, booting with -v tells me that the AtherosController failed to load Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/266545-atheros-ar242x-not-working-at-all/#findComment-1740629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I can't access either. Doesn't show up in System Profiler. Possibly related, booting with -v tells me that the AtherosController failed to load u have to rebrand it to 1014 subsystem 058A .. ibm adapter. then use atherosfix with the 1014 id. i had same issue with dell laptop and it didnt like id 1c .. i had to use 1014:58A then it worked. if yours is the AR5BX63 forget it. best bet is get AR5B91 or bcm94321mc Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/266545-atheros-ar242x-not-working-at-all/#findComment-1747553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
