takeawaydave Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01) I am trying to get this card working in my Samsung NP550P5C laptop with Mountain Lion 10.8.2. It is a combo wireless / bluetooth card but I assume that the wireless device behaves the same way as in a normal non-combo card. So far I am able to load AirportAtheros21 as well AirportAtheros40 by making vendorid and productid replacements based on the 10.7.4 IO80211Networking kext. Since AirPortAtheros40 is loaded first and I see the following in the kernel log: start [/sourceCache/AirPortDriverAtheros9380/AirPortDriverAtheros9380-431.14.10/src/common/lmac/ath_dev/darwin/AtherosController.cpp:962] load failed I remove the ids from AirportAtheros21 so it doesn't load on boot. Now I have just the following loaded: So far so good... However I don't know how to proceed now that the AirPortAtheros40 kext is loaded however no Wireless Interface is available in SystemPrefs.Network. Any hints or guidance would be appreciated. I have tried deleting and reconfiguring interfaces by removal of /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist Also tried removing the following: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist But this was clutching at straws with no net effect.... Any one able to help ? dmesg.txt system.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282998-ar9462-wireless-network-adapter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeawaydave Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 I am looking now at making DSDT edit for this problem (will definitely need help now!) Need to confirm something - when looking at IOREG output my wireless card is it this one : If so... Should I need to edit the following section in DSDT: Now I plan to proceed as per here and have the following patch: Device (PXSX) { Name (_ADR, Zero) Name (_SUN, One) Name (_PRW, Package (0x02) { 0x09, 0x04 }) Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x0B) { "AAPL,slot-name", Buffer (0x08) { "AirPort" }, "device-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x34, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, Buffer (0x08) { "AirPort" }, "model", Buffer (0x35) { "Atheros 9462 802.11 a/b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter" }, "subsystem-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x12, 0x41, 0x00, 0x00 }, "subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x4D, 0x14, 0x00, 0x00 } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } } This is based on device ids taken from Linux where the following is seen: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc.
