Claymm Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
