renerice Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks again. WLAN and RADIO enabled in BIOS. No physical on/off switch on the laptop that I can find or Google and the Fn5 key which works under Windows (apparently though I haven't tried it) is disabled under Yosemite. Rather than wasting more time with this can anyone suggest a USB WiFi Bluetooth plugin that will work with this system Lenovo Thinkpad x201 Yosemite 10.10.5 René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 10, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2015 Post us the wireless card PCI vendor + device ids; they should be visible in your System Profiler.Depending on your exact model, you may need a kext patch or a DSDT patch. More details + list of devices available here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 12, 2015 looks like its being detected but does not know what country code to use. Locale: Unknown Country Code: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 14, 2015 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2015 Unfortunately, that specific section of the SysProfiler does not necessarily reflect the true device id of the fitted Atheros card. You would need to use a tool such as DCPIManager or the lspci package to use lspci -nn Terminal command. 0x147c is not the real device id of your card.

renerice Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi Hervé, The linked list states that the card is supported. However, for the life of me and after some hours, I can't get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
