hello fellow mac users i have a AR5005G wireless build in my airports dectected but i can not turn it on any solutions ? i followed the guid was plain an simple said new airport detected clicked apply nothing tried turn on airport nothing .... tried the en0 to en 1 trick repair perm then again nothing do i need to reboot or what ? any solutions

I wish no one had suggested that en0/en1 thing, that is really a waste of time and only shows how people can be mislead into doing something they think is beneficial when it really does nothing.

 

Have you tried shutting down, starting up in OSX, opening safari, clicking on the diagnostic button and selecting airport and following the directions to see if it prompts you to enable the card?

 

If you've installed any 10.4.x extensions/drivers in your 10.5.x installation start by performing a fresh install and skip any apple provided 10.4 extensions/drivers that anyone suggests, they will cause you more problems than they can ever do you any good.

 

If you have an AMD processor, I'm done helping you, the AMD hacks make most of the stuff unreliable and I don't have the patience to deal with the stupidity of AMD related issues.

You obviously can't read and only saw the words "AMD CPU" and assumed the worste.

 

The issue is not the AMD CPU or it's speed, it's the hacks that make the software work on the AMD CPU that cause problems.

 

If you have an AMD CPU in this machine then I'm not interested in helping and asking for help on a forum that is predominantly Intel based and then insulting them wont win you any favors either.

 

Since you imply this machine is AMD powered all I can say is good luck and I hope you find a proper solution.

I agree that the en0/en1 switching can be confusing, but it is necessary for those people whose interface numbers got messed up because they have extra or missing NICs.

That isn't true, if it's messed up it's because they've been messing with things they shouldn't have been, the OS is intelligent enough not to assign the same value to two device simultaneously and they don't need to be en0 and en1, they can be anything.

 

I have two identical wireless devices installed in my machine and if I add a third one it assigns it a non conflicting ID and if I remove one it doesn't mess up the other ones so the thought that this does anything of value is wrong.

 

All this playing with 10.4 drivers in 10.5 and modified kexts (excluding modified Info.plist files) are the root of most problems and unfortunately system dependent extensions should not be mixed (like the IO802NetworkingFamily.kext from 10.4 installed in 10.5) but someone one got the idea that if it worked in 10.4 then perhaps it will work in 10.5 so they install it and have some kind of success but fail to see the other issues it causes and then recommend the solution to everyone who is experiencing the problem and looking for a solution.

XLabs, install PCIUtils v3.0.0 then execute in terminal:

lspci -vvnn

and report the results here.

Wow long read! I have been looking allover to find out if I can use a Atheros AR5523 USB with 10.5.4 or 10.5.2. Is there anyone who has goten this to work? Is there anywhere I can look for a place to start?

Iam running a HP dv6573cl laptop with the intel 965 chipset (if that helps) running 10.5.2 but Iam ready to upgrade to 10.5.4 later today. Thanks!!

Hello!

 

I have some problems with my airport. I`m using D-Link DWL-G510 PCI Card, Mac OS X 10.4.8 and when I`m doing thes steps I have an arror in my terminal:

 

When I`m writing: kextload AirPortAtheros5424.kext

 

I have this:

 

kextload: error mapping module file /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/MacOS/IO80211Family
kextload: can't map module files
kextload: can't check load addresses of modules
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension AirPortAtheros5424.kext
load failed for extension AirPortAtheros5424.kext
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)

 

Please help me!

I have a Dlink DWL-G510 rev B (Atheros AR5005G 802.11abg 168c 001a). I was able to get this working out of the box when I installed iDeneb v1 and selected the Atheros WiFi adapter during custom install.

 

Hope this helps.

 

If anyone needs the install package...here it is!

 

Atheros.pkg.zip for wireless.

FYI, before reformatting, I had the same issues where the card was detected, but I couldn't "turn it on". Now it works flawlessly :(

After changing the kexts and repairing the permissions the airport sign is in the taskbar but I cannot switch the airport on!

 

I do have the Atheros W400 installed - is it because the card does not wrok with this trick!?

Yes, the OS will assign interface names sequentially. However IIRC OSX requires that the wireless card be en1 for the airport menu bar icon to work properly.

 

Also note to everyone, this tutorial is intended for Mac OS X Tiger (10.4). If you're using 10.5, your system will be much more stable using native Leopard kexts!

Small update,

 

I wanted to update to N and got a Apple MacBook PRO WiFi Card 802.11n AR5BXB72 on Ebay here:

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-MacBook-PRO-WiFi...1742.m153.l1262

 

Had to put the ID's into the IO80211Family.kext to get it working. And for N to work I took IO80211Family.kext from my iMac that have the N enabler as I have Airport Extream. Now im screeeeming fast. :blink:

 

Guess I have to do a new update here.

 

After learning more about osx86 I have seen now that I do not need to put my id's into IO80211 file. The reason I had to do it when I using 10.5.2 was because I was using patch driver to get my old card to work.

 

So if you have card made by Apple the right id's should of course be in the driver. :thumbsup_anim:

The pack i posted in this thread has the iAtkos WiFi fix and the 10.4 .kext that you all are referring to. :(

 

I am, however, having trouble connecting to a password protected network with my DWL-G520 that is otherwise working great with the fix on this post too.
