If that's the fix you are referring to it doesn't seem to do anything. I can't copy the file to the folder it's not there and I can view hidden folders but can't open them. I know this is a learning process but I wish OSX wasn't so complicated
 
 
 I'm trying to paste in the files but it's not working.

Sorry, there were some typo's. Here's the correct path. Also fixed it in the guide.

          sudo chmod 755 /usr/libexec/airportd

          sudo chown 0:0 /usr/libexec/airportd

          xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/libexec/airportd

As for the battery, what's the issue? It the battery not showing or status is wrong or only seeing an X?

If you're seeing an X, try booting with -f to see if that fixes it. If so, then run myHack->myfix (quick), it usually is a caching issue.

First 2 commands took not the 3rd.

 

 
MacBook-Pro:~ Paul$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/libexec/airportd
xattr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/libexec/airportd'

On the battery you click show in status bar it clicks really quick then disappears and it stays at 0% all the time in this menu. Not sure why I can't upload a screen shot here but linked it to drop box

I got the screen shot uploaded. Not sure on the battery and the WiFi command wouldn't go. I'm sure you could fix it in a few minutes, :). Teamviewer

 

Booting with -f flag does nothing for battery. 

Does your wireless work nonetheless without the last command?

 

Remove AppleSmartBatteryManager and replace with this one. Run my fix and reboot. See if it makes a difference.

Have it running the fix now so I'll reboot after that. No the WiFi doesn't show up at all but bluetooth does. 

 

Battery is showing now, still no WiFi though. So I run the file, airportd, and then run the commands you gave me and that's it? The light for WiFi is also on and the switch is in the on position. 

 

With that one you sent me the sleep no longer works but I have battery percentage. Strange

 

On a side note can this be updated to 10.9 or will that break everything?

You can upgrade to 10.9.2, but your wireless card won't be able to connect to any connection besides WEP unsecure. Better to get another card like that one I have DW1510. Works without any extra kexts for Mavericks and below.

That's okay I may get one of those models but my WiFi doesn't work now as it is. Any idea's to get that? It's the last thing left on this bad boy

You're still talking about the DW1397 card right? 

So is the adapter not picked up or not able to connect to a network?
