KHIT Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hi I have recently installed OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my laptop(specs in signature), updated to 10.6.8, and installed kext for network, keyboard, trackpad and sound. But now I have a little problem. My wifi card, Atheros AR9285, is installed using a modified IO80211Family.kext, and works fine on my home network, with WPA2-Personal encryption. But at my school we are using repeaters, bridges, or whatever you wanna call it when there's a router in every classroom to transmit the signal from the main router, and here I can't get on the internet. It connects to the network, no encryption, and says that it's connected, but as soon as I open a browser, it changes to the not connected to any network symbol, with a ! inside, when I look it tells me that it's still connected, but there's a problem connecting. The browser says right after opening it that there's no connection. When I look in system preferences, under network, it tells me when I disable and re-enable airport, it first tells me that it doesn't have an IP-adress, and after a few seconds it tells me that it has given itself an IP-adress. My computer is dual-booting with Windows 7, and in windows there's no problem. I have attached the original zip-file with the modified kext to this post. Also I understand that it's a good idea to tell which SMBIOS I'm using. I use smbios MacBook Pro 6,1. I have no DSDT.aml, The user who made the DSDT-AutoPatcher helped me make one, when I was running Lion 10.7 DP4, but we tried a lot of things, but when DSDT.aml was used, I got a KP. If anyone has an interest in fixing the DSDT.aml, or tell me how to fix it, I have also attached it. I really hope someone can help me fix the problem. Thanks in advance WIFI_AR9285.zip dsdt.KHIT.zip 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/271057-atheros-network-card/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHIT Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Sorry for not answering your reply, but for some reason InsanelyMac has been unaccesible for some time. Anyway, I got it working with these files: http://www.osx86.net/view/1634-atheros_ar9...for_10.6.8.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/271057-atheros-network-card/#findComment-1766110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
