Ankiel Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I picked up this card for my upgrade from SL to Lion because all the compatibility lists showing this card working OOB as Airport. I cannot get this thing to work. I'm running on a GA-EP45-DS3L with a Core 2 Quad. I installed 10.7.3 using Kakewalk. Everything else seems to be working fine, I just can't get the card to show up. I've tried various Atheros fixes to no avail; I'm pulling my hair out on this! Has anyone else had issues getting this card working in Lion and if so were you able to fix it? Thanks!!

Ankiel Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 @teme Do you know what hardware and firmware versions you are using? It should say on the box if you still have it. I'm using H/W A1 and F/W 1.40. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/276688-cannot-get-dwa-556-working/#findComment-1802657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankiel Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 It was a bad card. I exchanged it today and tried the new one. Worked 100% OOB as Airport.
