Rebranding the Atheros 928x cards - The guide

[Swingkid]

Mods to iwleeprom were incorrect, or forgot 'sudo'. Make sure to use sudo when writing eeprom

Check it two times. All modifications was saved correct and i use even sudo.

also make sure it is reading/writing to offset 0

You mean the lines in ath9kio.c? If yes, yes i did.

if (dev->ops->eeprom_read16(dev, 128, &data) && (376 == data)) {
                        [B]short_eeprom_base = 0;[/B]
[B]                        short_eeprom_size = 512;[/B]
                        goto ssize_ok;

Make sure the offsets read/written via the tool correspond to the changes you made to the ath9kio.c.

No luck with the AR9287. I bought a AR9280 from eBay and rebranding was no problem. The new ID's compares to the original Intel card.
Which FakePCIID.kext is the right version and do i also need some DSDT Patches?

No DSDT patches needed. Refer to FakePCIID_AR9280_as_AR946x.kext. AR946x is 168c:34. Modify the Info.plist (and rename the kext) to match your rebranded IDs.

Thanks Rehabman, i'm not a programmer and it would be very helpful if you can help me. Attached a picture from the open info.plist in Xcode. Which lines are important?

The Hardware ID's of this card are Vendor : Device=8086:0891 & Sub's=8086:4222

If i get this card to work would be a big thing for me!

Change all references for 168c:34 (0x0034168c, pci168c,34) to 8086:0891 (0x08918086, pci8086,891).

No evidence that the kext is installed (correctly).

Repair permissions (Disk Utility), rebuild cache:

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /
