Acer Aspire One - Working Atheros Wifi in Mac OSX

Wifi is WORKING on the Acer Aspire One.

Just follow the steps and it should work.
It is more stable than you think.

I am using iATKOS 5i OSX Leopard 10.5.5.
Here are the links to the programs/updates used.
I uploaded the programs and the kext file to Rapidshare.

@The123386761 They all work.

what you don't show is that you are connected to a Enet cable as well

seeing how you don't give any valid info- I have to say this is a wasted effort

I have AR9285, that connects to networks but doesnt go out to internet- so I can say the same thing is going on HERE- yeah this is 2011

[BroncoBoy89]

@CAMXposurePhoto The video clearly shows that it is connected to the wireless network. Believe what you want; plenty of people have gotten this to work with minimal effort. You sound like you don't know much so I would review the links in the video description so you can become more educated on how this works.

hi BroncoBoy88, i have a aao zg5 with ar5007eg, what options did you use in the costomize menu on iatkos 5i to install it????

[BroncoBoy89]

@lordsolrac88 Follow the "Guide" link in the description and that should get you started.

can you help me i have a vaio laptop that is running iDeneb 10,5,5 and my wireless doesnt work . .. its a atheros ar9285 i tried the drivers but it doesnt work good .. any suggestions?

[CindyyHearts]

Does anyone know how to fix the wireless connection ? Pls help

@theroxorman48 No, nothing is connected. Everything under networking says "failed" it is a kext problem. That is it. Its not a hardware issue, it is a kext problem.

[theroxorman48]

@MontageReflex ok time for some trial and error. Can your computer even detect a ethernet when you plug it in? (MAC PARTITION)

[MontageReflex]

@theroxorman48 It is not your model. It is a notebook. Acer Aspire 5336. I've downloaded countless drivers (called kexts) onto my OSx. No luck and quite frequently it's pissing me the fuck off. But, I am dualbooting OSX and Win 7 64bit.

[theroxorman48]

@MontageReflex ok then... well lets see is it my model? or somewhere close? i think you gotta see if there is a driver that can run on hac osx. maybe in the kernel or the BIOs can work the wifi... wait i have a question, do you have it as a main operating system or is windows on it 2?

[MontageReflex]

@theroxorman48 Hey obivously I saw your comment under this video. I have a hackintoshed Acer Aspire. I am in desperate need of getting my wifi to work. I have an Atheros wifi card and I cant get any kexts working. Could you help me?

[theroxorman48]

What is your computer? D-255? i have a specific model,(D-255E.i) and i was thinking why doesnt it run with internet instead of using a app what you are using.? the drivers should just transfer and adapt to the device running on the computer in general, such as ubuntu or debian or beryl
