Thank you. My Mojave 10.14 uses your Lilu.kext , ATH9KFixup.kext of AR9565 in WIFIAR.zip and my IO80211Family.kext working fine now.

Hi everybody,

 

I am having a Dell 7440 and Mojave running. Recently I've changed the Intel wifi card and installed the Atheros 9485 but I can't get it working.

 

I've made the following:

 

- installed AirPortAtheros40

- put ATH9KFixup.kext into the "other" folder

- and put IO80211Family.kext to S/L/E

 

Attached you'll find my current config.plist.

 

I guess I got something wrong since it still doesn't work. Do I need any boot-arg and/or a specific KEXT TO PATCH?

 

It would be great if somebody has an idea what to change to make it working.

Hi everyone,

 

Alas, all proposed "ATHEROS" solutions are not functional for "MOJAVE" 10.14.3...   
 

 

Am I right or not ?!

So if I am following you correctly. I update my config.plist using cc with the modifications you made in the pics. Download and select the files from the AR9485 folder. Then I replace Lilu.kext and ATH9KFixup.kext in Clover\Kext\Other on my hackintosh and put IO80211Family.kext to replace the old one in S/L/E?

Put corresponding kexts in /s/l/e for the easy way. replace io80211family.kext. put the wifi card to use by injecting the correct boot flag in clover/config.plist. if 9485 then -ath9485, if 9565 -ath9565, if 946x no need to apply anything.

if it works try putting the injector, fixup and lilu in /l/e.

can you guys please check if airdrop and bluetooth function correctly?

Still no luck. When I go to the network pane in system preferences and click on the + in the left menu I get kicked back to the main page for sys prefs and a popup that says Preferences error: There was an error in network preferences. I put the kexts in s/l/e and l/e, as well as putting lilu and ath9kfixup in the other folder. I am trying with 9485 btw.

check if you have InjectKext/Detect in config.plist. all 3rd party kexts are to be installed in l/e for you to keep track of them. other is only for installation and recovery, does not make the system boot faster, does not show you if the kexts are in error, so you only need to have fake/virtualsmc, input device kext, (lilu and whatevergreen if you want recovery/installation to use graphics acceleration for faster operations) because to my understanding, recovery and installation does not use kext caches(correct me if im wrong). Detect option as i understand is like this: if kexts are detected in s/l/e or l/e then not injected via other, if not detected in s/l/e or l/e, then injected via other. that being said, put io80211 in s/l/e and injector and fixup in l/e and fix permission and rebuild caches. if you update, you need to replace io80211 again.

if still does not work, restore what you have done with wifi, and see if the error still pops up. if it does, delete network preferences plists(search please).

its best for you to buy a broadcom module. it's not that expensive. in my case i can't only because the ar9565 chip is soldered.

能不能分享一份最新的驱动，我是ar9485。我的无线网络能搜索到，连接的时候出问题，会显示连接无效。我不知道问题出在哪里，是不是和config的配置有关。

Hi

 

Under my IvyBridge config, my Atheros AR9485 is detected (Mojave 10.14.5). ATH9Fixup, etc installed.

 

I can activate it but I can't connect to Network.

P. P. S.
Tried just AirPortAtheros40.kext (AR9565.10.13.v21) throw in /Other, rebuild cache and restart Hackintosh - WiFi is not working. Similarly, only threw a text in KextUtility.
Tried already working IO80211Family.kext (inside of which / Plugins contains AirPortAtheros40.kext) throw in /Other (in /S/L/E lay not patched), rebuilt the cache, restarted the Hackintosh, but WiFi was also not recognized. In config.plist parameter InjectKexts=Yes. It's weird, I thought Clover kext from /Other would put "on top" of that kext that in /S/L/E.
