takeawaydave Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Trying to get the AR9285 working in my laptop (10.8.2) Attempting the DSDT method but my DSDT only gets as far as showing the interface but with message in status bar icon "Wifi : No Hardware installed". Status according to interface is OFF. Attached is IOReg (rename from .txt to .ioreg) and DSDT (rename from .txt to .aml) IOREG.txt DSDT.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283944-trouble-getting-ar9285-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interface now appears to configure and connect to wireless network but then shows no connection and an exclamation mark in icon.

nekomata Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) I don't understand how this DSDT editing works, hoping that someone could help :/ I did find a "patch" for the AR9285 though, I posted it here if anyone wants it. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284378-hp-dv6-7029wm7010us-wireless-ar9485/ Edited November 15, 2012 by nekomata Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283944-trouble-getting-ar9285-working/#findComment-1866978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
plsh2me Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 if u add 2B to the info.plist next ot the 2A ...does the card work ? To be honest not tried . Got a kext, that works with or with out DSDT (not important device ID on DSDT * or +, it works!!!) . Actually I want to know, what is the exact DSDT addition for 2B. Thanks.

LatinMcG Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 there is no exact adition for 2B.. as 2B is not in the DRIVER KEXT. .. the one u have is added on not by apple. the point of making it think the card is 2A is so it stays working after comboupdate replaces your modified kext with 2B (apple does not have 2B in the kext) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283944-trouble-getting-ar9285-working/#findComment-1867041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
