E7240 on Sierra working great except for two issues.

[Jake Lo]

Seem to be partially supported. Check the insanelymac link below

 

Atheros  AR5B22        Mini PCIe     168c-0034   AR9462⁴      A/B/G/N    N  N  N  Y   Y  Y  Y    N     FW + Atheros40 patch

 

⁴ AR946x (168c,34), AR9485 (168c,32) and AR9565 (168c,36) work to some degree with alternative (re-written) Atheros40 driver as posted at InsanelyMac by Chunnann: http://www.insanelym...ed-cards/page-1

Thanks. Will try to find kext there

Last time I checked, wireless connections could not operate beyond 11Mbps, so you really should consider replacing your card.

Could you please recommend something similar with OOB working?
Will it be fine with something like this?
 
Btw sound is still not working for me.
I used KCPM Utility with no luck. Maybe I chose wrong kext? How can I identify a sound card?

[sanchower]

Or this one?

DW1510 will work OOB with no Bluetooth. Azureware might be a better choice if you need bluetooth and try Continuity. This will require a couple of patches and kexts to work.

As for audio, run the following commands and place the output here

      sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E*

      sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E*

      sudo touch -f /L*/E*

      sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E*

      sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E*

      sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E*

      sudo kextcache -Boot -U /

Not seeing AppleHDA_ALC292.kext in the output. 

If you have it in /L/E or /S/L/E, one or the other, not both. Delete it, run those commands again.

Then place this in /L/E and run the commands once again, make sure rebuild cache is successful.

Make sure you see AppleHDA_ALC292 in the output and reboot.

Thanks, it helps. I already installed 10.12.6 update and had to reinstall wifi kexts.

 

The main issues I have now is:

1. Bluetooth is not working

2. Wifi fails after sleep-mode

3. Touchpad feels lagging

 

Is there any way to fix them?

 

Thanks anyway!

I tested my module with ac-wifi router and spedtest shows me about 60Mb/sec either for upload and download, so it is ok
