Got answer from my email sent to Atheros Company:

Thank you for your interest in products containing Atheros Communications' technology.

However, we do not offer the cards or drivers that you're inquiring about. Atheros typically sells chips to module manufacturers and therefore would not be able to help you with this task. For issues regarding driver support or customer service related to drivers, please contact the manufacturer of the product or system you purchased. We suggest you refer to the manufacturer’s website, as they typically offer online technical support pages where software drivers, updates, and other related information can be obtained.

Thank you for your understanding.
Atheros Communications, Inc.

So... No support from Atheros, they only make chipsets, not drivers.

According to Рус from applelife.ru - with 10.6.5 update our AR9285 works natively...

Anyway - kext attached. Tell me if it works, since I have Dell 1500 and I am not going to replace it just for testing purposes.

i think that the Dell wifi cards which contain Broadcom chips work way better than the Atheros ones but if it works than it will be a complete solution for the people who have not replaced their wifi cards

It does work :-) I will stay with my Dell 1500 though, it has faster local transfer :P

man_of_the_oak · #**567** 08-17-2010, 02:01 PM

I recommend not installing shitty distros and instead of this - buy a retail DVD, install it with my files and then wifi WILL WORK
