Marcelo Mendes Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Worked perfectly on my Toshiba P205-S6327 laptop with Atheros AR5006X wireless. Thank You very much. If you know how to make an installer, others would be forever in your debt (or for a while anyway), the extraction and installation required me to use Pacifist, but the process could be greatly simplified. You can send our IO80211Family.kext for me?
