Hi, I have tried some solutions in this site, but I didn't find a solution for this, in my case I also have AR9462 Wifi card on Catalina, but it doesn't recognise it.

 

Tried with IO80211Family.kext in S/L/E  and in CLOVER/kexts/Other/ with no solution.

I have also tried with some other kexts files.

Can anyone help me with this?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best Regards,

Excellent work jalavoui and coolstar. I have a supported card (AR9380) but it has an invalid regdomain (0x21); using your info I figured out how to patch AirPortAtheros40 to change it:


Comment:	Override regdomain (1 of 2)
Find:		83bb2008 00000674 64
Name:		com.apple.driver.AirPort.Atheros40
Replace:	83bb2008 000006eb 36

Comment:	Override regdomain (2 of 2)
Find:		66c78316 09000043 0066b843 00
Name:		com.apple.driver.AirPort.Atheros40
Replace:	66c78316 09000000 0066b800 00

Just had to change one JE at 0xb1b37 to a JMP pointing to 0xb1b6f (where rbx+0x916 and ax are set to 0x43), then used coolstar's patch (the second one) to change the regdomain from 0x43 (JP) to 0x00 (US - thanks to ReddestDream for clarifying).

 

10.11.5 patch (the second patch is identical):


Comment:	Override regdomain (1 of 2)
Find:		83bb2008 00000674 5f
Name:		com.apple.driver.AirPort.Atheros40
Replace:	83bb2008 000006eb 31

 

Thank you! I'm in México and that patch worked for me on 10.15.5 Catalina! much appreciated.
