Hii, Ive been searching for solutions to get my Atheros AR9285 network adapter working on my newly hackintoshed HP G62. After a while, I came across this thread: osx 86.co/f5/atheros-card-9285-t4431/page3.html

After reading the entire thread, I still cant get it to work, I downloaded
and installed the legacyatheros.kext specifically designed for the card, rebooted and it still will not work.

Also, when I run network diagnostics, it says my location is set
to "%@" and there are no options in the list below.

Can anyone help?
