Atheros PCI adapter on OSx86 10.5.5
 
Hello,

I installed iAtkos v5i on my pc. Nearly everything's working fine except the wireless adapter. I have a PCI TP-Link TL-WN551G, which is using the Atheros AR5212 chipset.

What do I have to do to use it under OSx86?

Thanks

here's a link on the topic. should be straight-forward if you follow the Leopard process.

This is hit and miss. I have never gotten this to work even with the instructions on Insanelymac.com

You can have the same chipset on 2 different systems and it works on one and not the other, mainly due to other hardware on the motherboard conflicting. It is not a perfect science.

I'm using iDeneb V1 10.5.4 and it came with the kext.. it works great! couldn't be any happier that wireless works!

Cheers,
Fman

This person managed to get his card working using the post NFOav8or listed above.

Here is a link to his initial post with information on finding your Device/Vendor Ids.
