Thread: Need help for TL-WN951N!

Hey guys, I've just started up with my Hackintosh, but I seem to be having problems with my network card I assume... The problem is that I cant really connect to the Internet without it crashing, while it does have small functionality it is getting really annoying not being able to do anything coz of no Internet...

Anyone got a kext or idea that could solve my problem?

Once again the card is a TL-WN951N

Run this app, take a picture of the devices output and place here > System Info

Yeah, sorry had to take from phone, but its clear enough

Also, the top is actually the second pic... I think that it would be Atheros 5000, but Im not sure what to do next.

Take a look at this thread and try adding your DeviceID to the IO80211Family.kext > [TIPS]Kexts and DeviceID`s

KK, Im on OSX, seems to be working better thanks!

Actually disreguard that, it didn't seem to work, I'm not sure that I quite understand where to put that info... Could you explain where I should put it in the info.plist?

Yeah doesn't seem to be working, could you instruct me on where to put it exactly?

Add the string below on the "<key>IONameMatch</key>" on the file "IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/AirPortAtheros.kext/Contents/info.plist"...

Code:

<string>pci168c,0023</string>

Thanks... now this may not be on the networking topic, I have retrieved the log at time of vrash and the airport debug at the same time. Both from console... first one is of airport at time of crash... second is log at time of crash... any ideas?

Code:

Did you try running the system in 32bit???

Made a test booting with this flag`s > arch=i386 -v

Well I got a real nice error going across the whole thing when I get onto Youtube!
