manmal Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi, i have a wireless card in my laptop asus that is an atheros ar9285 devid:venid 168c:002b . The card is recognized but i cannot see any network. Also trying to enable with fn button, the light in the laptop powers on, but still no wifi networks are seen under lion (i cannot install snow on this laptop,kernel panic...sandybridge i7-2630qm ). Any suggestion / driver / fix you may suggest ? Thanks!

LatinMcG Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 the dsdt fix fakes it to be 2A .. but i doubt it would fix the issue with no antenna signals. let me see your /Extra/smbios.plist likely the IOPCIFamilly from slice might help or just change it for BCM94321MC or AR5B91 i have both and love them both the AR5B91 wont work prior to 10.6.3 BCM94321MC does. i bet if u change it and still does it = has some power management methods in dsdt one more thing.. i had issues with AR5BX92 but not with AR5B91 (tried 2 brands one had less pins= gold connectors missing but both worked) the AW-ne772 didnt work for me but thats dual transmitter. the AR5B91 is single and works: id atheros 168c, dev 2A Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/270921-atheros-ar9285-168c-002b-recognized-but-no-network-in-lion/#findComment-1764670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
