I have the qualcomm atheros 9462.

Vendor id = 168c
Device id = 34 

Name = "pci168c,34"

 

I tried adding the ids to the AirPortAtheros40 kext but it didn't work. I read that it's not compatible with this kext for some reason. So I looked around and found an AR9462 kext in the google source code of EDP:

https://code.google.com/p/osxlatitude-edp/source/browse/trunk/storage/kextpacks/?r=226#kextpacks%2FAtheros-AR9462

Unfortunately, I don't know how to get it to work on my custom built system nor do I need anything else. 

 

Is there any way for me to obtain Atheros-AR9462 kext without EDP and will it work?

 

The strange thing is that the bluetooth from this card works oob.

Thanks. I installed it into the IO8211Family.kext\Plugins and repaired permissions and stuff but got this in the verbose:

My rig still booted though but no wifi since the kext didn't load.

Erm… we do not write Qualcomm Atheros kexts, no.   :huh:

 

Try to patch the Atheros40 as shown in the EDP google source code you found: copy the original kext to Desktop, edit its Info.plist file then place the edited kext in /E/E and run myFix (quick).

 

You should always try and leave vanilla kexts "as is" in /S/L/E.

 

If patching remains ineffective, then that card could prove to be unsupported. Or maybe it'll work, but only on clear networks.
