Bump

Were you able to solve your problem? I'd recommend installing ACPIBatteryManager.kext

That would require a BIOS whitelist removal, which is something I'm too sheepish to try. Is there any way around that? EDIT: Steeled my guts and finally removed the whitelist. I had the file laying around for months but I finally decided to do it today.

Update: it's not a hardware issue. Card works fine in Windows with speeds of up to 8 Mbps (normal/moderately fast for my area). Any idea what else could be wrong? Should I try a fresh install?

Okay, thanks. My knowledge is quite fuzzy in that area, which is why I refrain from BIOS modding as well... I discovered something interesting: my upload speed is normal, around 6.5 Mbps (fastest speed around here) but my download is only 0.5 Mbps. Does this mean its no longer a card issue, or...

Sorry for double post, but is it at all possible for this to be a BIOS issue? To me the BIOS whitelist is some voodoo magic, but logically speaking could it be hampering the speeds as this is not a card manufactured by Lenovo? The device did boot, however, without screaming some "Unsupported...

See, I don't think its the card OR the laptop that's bad. I did a little experimenting, and this is interesting:1) When I run PdaNet + AR9285 WiFi, speeds are really nice on speedtest.net (around ~6.5, above average for my location in my house/in the world)2) I disconnect PdaNet, and shortly...

Hey RHM, I got AR9285 to work but it has VERY low speeds on a U310 (~ 50KB/s). I got it from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-Y485P-Z580-G580-U310-U410-AR5B195-Wireless-Bluetooth3-0-Half-PCI-E-Card-/191205264601?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c84b8ccd9 I tried metal shielding, etc. no...

Bump.

Hi, I recently got an BCM943224 card from a 2012 macbook air but didn't realize that the card is not actually a half pci-e, but some strange shape and size. I found out that I have to use an adapter to fit the card into a half pci-e slot; does anyone know of any cheap adapter suppliers? It seems...

Bump.

Hi, I've found a good priced macbook air card online, but my BIOS only supports BCM4313 and the card is BCM4322. Has anyone had any success rebranding the card as a 4313 and then FakePCIIDing it to BCM4322?

Is the fundamental obstacle that the Handoff software itself does not support Atheros cards? Why isn't it possible to fix this, e.g. by a hex edit?

Hi, I was just wondering, I recently ordered an AR5B195 combo card (contains AR9285 WiFi and AR3011 Bluetooth). The card lists support for Bluetooth 3.0 HS, so I was wondering if that would work with the new Continuity/Handoff features in Yosemite. If not, are there any reasons fundamentally...

It appears that a Dell Inspiron uses it, so its probably not too uncommon. Here's a picture of the Inspiron card: http://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=10344
