Atheros AR5B95 Problem


11 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

So i have an Atheros AR5B95 network card, the kexts are installed and i see all the Networks.

But when i try to connect to one, it Connects... irs it says "No IP" and then it says "Self-Assigned-IP"

 

I already tried restarting the Router and the AirPort, i also tried to "renew DHCP Lease" under Network>Advance>TCP/IP but nothing helps :wallbash:

 

Anyone knows what i can do?

Can you set it to manual and enter an IP, mask and router and then have it connect?

 

Verify permissions on IO80211Family.kext? Sometimes the permissions don't get set properly on the kexts inside the internal Plugins folder.

 

Try an IO80211Family.kext from 10.7.2?

 

Are the antenna wires connected to the card properly?

If i set the IP manually it says Connected and the light is green but when i open any Browser there is no connection...

 

How do i verify the premissions? (noob question)

 

And yes the wires are connected, if i boot into Win7 the Wlan works perfect.

 

Thanks :wink2:

When you enter the IP manually, you need to check that you have a DNS. If there is no DNS, enter the IP of the router.

 

To set the permissions on the IO80211Family.kext, open Terminal

 

Type:  cd /System/Library/Extensions
Type:  sudo chown -R root:wheel IO80211Family.kext
(give your password - the cursor will not move - there will be no feedback - just type the password and <Enter>)
Type:  sudo chmod -R 755 IO80211Family.kext

 

Reboot -v -f
