ninetto Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 @mcblack... under System Preferences Utility, check NETWORK, then under "show" Network Port Configurations... un-check your ethernet and just leave the Airport on. Re-boot. If your airport is now working then... there is still a problem with the dependencies/ports order. Some people have reported the network "fixing itself" by re-booting with certain network ports de-activated, and then re-activating them after boot. That's my small 2-cents for now... regards, ninetto Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59115-atheros-5006eg-working/page/3/#findComment-469349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtab2006 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I just want to thank you all for doing this. I had a seamless install of my Atheros. When I would boot in Verbos mode I could see that OS X recognized that my Atheros was there but would unsuccessfully load the drivers. The first reboot where I had my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed it successfully loaded the drivers. The moment OS X booted up I could see the Airport icon in the top right hand corner! I was at a complete loss about what to do about my wireless. Everything else worked. And, for the last week I sacrificed the wireless and just used a wired network. But, now my computer is complete!

tcsac Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Apparently the file upload is broken after someone hacked the site. OK...Let's try this: Kext and Headers This has the pre-extracted kext and header folder, I also included Kext Helper to install the kext, just drag the kext package into the Kext Helper window (NOTE: if you are not using a password, in the password field type any character, like a period, to activate the easy install button, then delete the character). I've rehosted this since that host has started being somewhat shady in their tactics (install our great spyware for faster downloads!!): http://server1.fdcupload.com/v/3053797/500...nstall.zip.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/59115-atheros-5006eg-working/page/3/#findComment-516672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ergosteur Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I tried getting my Atheros cards (Airport Extreme AR5006EXS from black MacBook, Gigabyte AR5006EGS, Acer AR5007EG OEM) to work under JaS 10.4.8, uphuck 1.3, 1.4ir2, Brazilmac leopard. no luck, i consistently get the AtherosController.cpp loaded unsuccessfully. does anyone have any idea what this error means? i can't even find the AtherosController.cpp file. as a sidenote, i also have a Broadcom 4311/Dell 1390 that doesn't work. All the above cards work great in windows+linux after following the appropriate procedures.

macconvert Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 OK...Let's try this:Kext and Headers This has the pre-extracted kext and header folder, I also included Kext Helper to install the kext, just drag the kext package into the Kext Helper window (NOTE: if you are not using a password, in the password field type any character, like a period, to activate the easy install button, then delete the character). Can anyone tell me what's supposed to be in said Headers folder. The update 2007004 doesn't have a headers folder. so i'm a bit confused. The links are broken again. I've got my Atheros AR5004x installed and recognized using the 10.4.5 update IO80211family.kext, however it won't turn on. I have a Thinkpad T60p (2613-CTO) with the IBM 802.11 a/g mini pci-e adapter (aka Atheros AR5004x). Help? Anyone. For now I'll try only installing the IO80211family.kext from the airportextremeupdate2007004.dmg.
