alexmacd5290 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hi, I recently bought an Atheros AR5B91 PCI-E wifi card. I have installed it in my D630 on OSX Lion 10.7.5 and the wifi adapter sees wireless networks but when i try to connect i just get a connection timeout. Is there a setting i have missed out on my EDP install as reading the supported list of wifi cards i thought this was good to go out of the box? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted October 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 18, 2013 That particular Atheros card does work OOB (I have it), at least with all myHack vanilla installations (from SL 10.6 to Mav 10.9). I can't say for distros... In all likelyhood, given the description you made, that'll be an issue related to your wireless network setup such as MAC address filtering on your wireless router or something of that order.

alexmacd5290 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Is there anything i can do to check the "Ven-Dev id" i have installed? I think i must be missing something. If i can get the wifi connected and the battery monitor working then i'll be happy. Don't see the point running mountain lion on this system. Edit: Not sure whats changed (if anything) but got my laptop back home and it connected to my wifi just fine. Happy days!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted October 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 18, 2013 Well, I'd say the network you were trying to join was actually refusing the connection, i.e. not a Mac OS X issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
