looking on getting an Atheros AR5BXB72 for my thinkpad/lenovo

confirm it works,

 

notes:

- got bluetooth antenna,... don't know where to put it, or where to get the 3rd antenna,... ?

- works as an 108 till you get the airport enabler from apple, $2,...

- airport enabler does not install,... some checks, till you get the patch from macdotnub,...

and patch it with pacifist ,...

- the enabler does kill the audio azalia , found no workaround,... that's for AD1981HD,

- runs at 140m till you switch the airport to 5Ghz only, argh,...

now had to dig out the old linksys to keep the g network up,..

- still experience stutter and ping hickups,... full bars,

- now can download +1GB in ~ 3+ minutes, useable, still no gige

guess I need to pull cat6e cables

 

anybody else got it to work, with different laptop, please post for the others,...

if your sound is broken, post too

Hi everybody,

 

I just got an Atheros AR5BXB72 on eBay on order to have my Hackintosh fully functional.

My configuration is :

Dell E6400 14"

Core 2 Duo P9700 2,80Ghz 6Mo

4Go DDR2

nVidia Quadro 160M 256 Mo 1440x900

Intel 5100 a/b/g/n

 

I've got on port miniPCI and another one micro miniPCI (half of the normal size of a miniPCIe)

 

I removed my 5100 from the micro miniPCIe in order to put my new Airport card on the miniPCI port.

 

I put the black connector on the 1 and the white one on the 0.

 

On Seven it's working but nothing happens on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Vanilla Install.

 

Can you guys help me to make it works ?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers.

Claymm.
