Thread: D-Link DWA-547 with 10.6.2?

According to netkas blog about 10.6.2 here http://netkas.org/?p=315 there should be an 64-bit atheros driver included. Does this mean that D-Link DWA-547 is supported now? AFAIK it is a atheros AR4516 based WiFi.
THX!

my won΄t work with 10.6.2
have to boot in x32

Add this kext to Extra/Extensions and make sure that device-id of your WLAN card is included in info.plist, on both 32-bit and 64 sections. My card's device-id is pci168c,23 so look for that in plist file and you know which places to edit. What this kext does is that it loads the old Atheros driver when booting to 32-bit kernel and the new Atheros driver when using 64-bit kernel. Use IORegistryExplorer or lspci to find out correct device-id.

You even have the same device-id as I do so it should work out of the box.
Does your card work when you use 32-bit kernel ?

Good to hear that everything is working now. I already removed this kext and added the same functionality to dsdt, I don't like any extra kexts

I have sound working in 10.6.2 -- did the 0x4F ABLN code change in DSDT, and put LegacyHDA.kext in bootstick E/E folder....

if i use aseres kext, my wireless card disappears.

think there is a problem with pci root...

Post your dsdt and ioreg when you have wireless working.
