[Guide] All Atheros on Mojave

[toriqul]

Hi @Gigamaxx

Thanks for your valuable input to helps other member on this groups. I hope I can

I've a WiFi card attached to my system and it's TL-WN781ND or AR9485 which I check using DPCIManager.
I followed the instructions on the "Atheros fix 2" that you shared.
I directly installed as it is Plan A reboot and Plan B reboot nothing working.

Then I tried to edit Info.plist file and put "<string>pci168c,0032</string>" that I got from DPCIManager then delete file from /Library/Extensions and restored the original "IO80211Family.kext" that is without the AirPortAtheros40.kext file in the plugin folder, followed Plan A and Plan B not working also.

Do you have any suggestion for me to try to make it work?

Thanks.

BTW I just able to solve my issue by following this thread https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/tl-wn781nd-kext-for-sierra.204873/page-2#post-1687195

Very happy to see it's working.

Thanks.

Use the attached DCPIManager app and select PCI as shown in pic. Find the 168? number or better yet post a screenshot of the device.

AR9565 is 168c,0036. I edited the Atheros40kext to include this along with the opening page list. You can test this folder attached. Plan A uses Library/Extensions folder. This location will leave the kext there after updates. Plan B uses System/Library/Extensions folder and the 80211kext but you will need to replace it after updates that replace that kext. This Plan B method should be used only if Plan A doesn't work.
