cele_82 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hello all, I have a AR9002WB-1NG wifi combo card(AR9285 + AR3011 (bluetooth)) From lsusb for BT Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0cf3:3005 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR3011 Bluetooth I got the wifi working just with a plist edit: <key>IONameMatch</key> <array> <string>pci168c,2a</string> <string>pci168c,2b</string> </array> for the bluetooth instead I'm confused… I've seen around two methods for this: Atheros Firmware Uploader or IOath3kfrmwr.kext The first one (FW uploader) gives me a i5:ath3k-firmware-uploader tom$ ./ath3k-firmware-uploader Atheros AR3011 not found error. The second one is a bit cryptic.. I've added the device id in the plist converting it into decimal value.. but I don't get any kind of output in the Console or anywhere else.. is there a log somewhere to understand if this has been loaded or errors etc..? This my edit for my device(ID 0cf3:3005): <key>idProduct</key> <integer>12293</integer> <key>idVendor</key> <integer>3315</integer> PS Is there another method for BT? Suggestions? I'm running 10.8.2 Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285199-ar9002wb-1ng-wifi-combo-cardar9285-ar3011-bluetooth/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 i suspect a power on switch on pinouts of the combo card. . pin 21 is for wifi but on that i dont know. it could also be the rev of the card.. not many have gotten it to work.. if any as for the plsit edit. u can fake id 2A in dsdt and never have to edit the plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285199-ar9002wb-1ng-wifi-combo-cardar9285-ar3011-bluetooth/#findComment-1875482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikidoka25 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 UPDATE: I managed to have it works by turning on bluetooth using blueutil. I managed to compile IOath3kfrmwr.kext from github and it works on my 10.6.8 HDD (1). However, I have another 10.6.8 setup on another HDD (2) which reports the bluetooth is off and it cannot detect or detected by any other devices. HDD (1) was a copy of HDD (2), it is the image of HDD (1) at one point in time, but not used/updated. I did a diff of the 2 drives S/L/E and couldn't find any differences. Any idea why HDD (2) reports bluetooth is off? How to resolve my issue beside restoring HDD(1) to HDD(2) ?
