  • atheros wifi can work:

    1- delete a file extensions.mkext or something like that (system/library)

    2.- reinstall io80211kext with kext helper (airport update)

    3.- repair permissons

    4.- restart

    5.- open "kismac" and activate "airport extreme passive mode" and search a wifi networks, when u found one, close kismac and search it again with airport utility

  • @blasterh6 excuse me sir, but when I try to delete the file: extensions.mkext from /system/library, it immediately reappears into that directory. What's you statement?

  • brrr... pretty cold in ireland...

  • Both are Native to Snow Leopard but the Broadcom card becomes a third party vender card and loses its Airport Extreme category. But the Atheros AR5008E-3NX becomes a true Apple vender and keeps its Airport Extreme category and fully functional settings for WiFi-N... Only $13-$15 on ebay, worth every dollar... The Atheros is super fast on both Snow Leopard and Windows 7!

  • @Tish0eXtreme Actually there's two WiFi cards for laptops (which you can also use on desktops with an adapter), on is the Broadcom versio and the other is the best one of all... the Atheros AR5008-3NX with Xpan technology and its fully Throughput, at Windows 7 its native 300mbs. The Broadcom has 2 antenna cable wires and the Atheros has 3 which is fully WiFi-N and has way better range in grabbing WiFi signals.

  • can someone confirm that work on snow leopard ?

  • could someone point me in the direction of where to get the patched kext? i tried this all before and i was left with a hanging apple boot screen :(

  • @blasterh6 :D thumbed up! worked thanx for ALL

  • @blasterh6 think u culd make a vid

  • Someone got better way to make this wifi work? I got work but always when i restart the pc i need do everything again... Kinda suck big time! Please if someone know something else, tell me! :D Thanks!

  • hollshit, thanks a lot... I got this thing work! :D
