atheros 5006EG WORKING!

@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...

Thanks for the reply

 

But I don't even have a "AirPort" option there

 

I only see :

 

Serial Port

Bluetooth

Built-in Ethernet

 

even after your suggestions.

 

 

Sad day.

 

But Thanks anyway.

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!

 

Thank you,

I have an Atheros AR5006EXS and I have tried all of these suggestions and more.

I can't seem to get the card to even be recognized.

If anyone can help please let me know.

At the moment I have Uphuck 10.4.9r3 installed

But I've also tried Jas and others.

 

Everest tells me:

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!!):

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.

[tdo]

i was thinking about switching out my atheros card with another wifi card that works.

 

anyone tried this?

[espskog]

I am going crazy cause the link in this thread with the Header files is not possible to download :-\

 

An someone please post the files needed to get AR5006(GE) working, please ?

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.

[macconvert]

Ok so it's working... only os x shows it as off in system prefs.

 

I used the 10.4.5 IO80211family.kext (no edits) and the recompiled IONetworkingFamily binary from a post i can't now find. so it's working! pretty much.

[NRGZR]

macconvert can you PM me your kext? im try setup my Atheros 168c,1c with 10.4.8 without luck and after using installer from this topic i have blue screen... maybe your kext helps me

[sjb05004]

I know this thread is somewhat buried, but I could really use the 5006-wireless-install.zip if anyone could re-host or send it via e-mail. I had it backed up somewhere and seem to have misplaced it. Many thanks!

[sjb05004]

anyone???

[Hendry Lai]

1) download airport extreme update 04-2007 from apples website.2) installer will say no supported hardware, cant install.3) manually extract io80211.kext and new included frameworks from airport update.4) replace io80211.kext in /system/library/extensions5) insert provided framworks (directory name is - headers)into /system/library/frameworks/kernel.framework/versions/A/6) run terminal, type sudo -schown -R root:wheel /S*/L*/E*/chmod -R 755 /S*/L*/E*/7) open disk utility and repair disk permissions8) restart and enjoy working WIFI!!!**optional**you may have to insert your Device ID into io80211.kext/atheros.kextLET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS FOR ALL OF YOU?

Thanks so much for your help, is there a work around for Leopard, when i try to drag and drop the headers folder into versions/A/ it says i do not have permission....... any help would be so greatly appreciated

>3) manually extract io80211.kext and new included frameworks from airport update.

 

Can someone explain how to extract this? Do I extract it from the airport update 2007-04? Where/how do I extractorate this?

 

Thanks!

[Netola]

Nanobrat, excract this to your /System/Library/Extensions folder

dont forget to fix your kext permissions, open your terminal and do the following:

 

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/

touch /System/Library/Extensions

exit

sudo -k

 

 

The Atheros 5006EG works out of the box on the great Leo4AllV3 distro.

Im on in my toshiba satellite with atheros 5006EG right now with Leo4Allv3

Hi Netola, thanks for the speedy help! Are you saying I should just extract/unzip the contents of this installer into the extensions folder? Headings folder and all? (and then do the permissions stuff after)

 

thanks so much
