I have a netgear WPN311 PCI card which has a atheros AR5004G chipset. Following the thread below I simply added the vendor and device id 0x168c:0013 in the
/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros5424.kext/Contents/Info.plist file and all seemed good.

I went into System Preferences>Network and even though my network is displayed when I try and select the network the OS crashes!!!!! This must be something to do with the driver. Can somebody please help? I have listed my airport settings below. The vendor id is correct at 0x168C but the device is wrong. It appears to be 0x5e00 !!!!! It should be 0x0013.

AirPort Card Information:

Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x5E00)
