Asus P8H67-I Deluxe - working wireless

[metaldog99]

My Sandy Bridge Build consists of the following:

ASUS P8H67-I Deluxe
Intel i5 2500K
8 Gb Corsair 1333 DDR3 SODIMM
Sapphire Radeon HD5770 Vapor-X 1 GB DDR5
SilverStone SUGO S06-450B

Most everything worked OOTB, with the exception of Bluetooth and Wireless.

Bluetooth is working now after following this thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=18410&hilit=Bluetooth

I finally got the built-in wireless working today - it is an Atheros 9002W (uses a 9825 chip).

Using the following kext edits, it is up and running just fine:

added the following line

<string>pci168c,2b</string>

under

<key>IONameMatch</key>

in the following two files:

/S/L/E/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/AirPortAtheros.kext/Contents/Info.plist
and
/S/L/E/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/AirPortAtheros21.kext/Contents/Info.plist

System Profiler shows the following under the Airport section:

I haven't had too much time to test it yet, but I was pleased that it showed up as an airport interface. This may be helpful for similar ASUS mb's.

Dude- nice one- this is precisely what I'm planning to build next. Saw that the Atheros chip is native airport! That is really handy!

The bluetooth chip is also functional in OS X apparently, but may need some kind of cron set up to initiate. Works after loading Windows first I heard.

Great work! I'm building up a similar system as yours:

CPU: Intel i3-2100
Motherboard: Asus P8H67-i deluxe
Hard drive: Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1CCA 2.5" 128GB SATA III

I set the ACHI mode, tried every combination of SATA ports, had no luck in going through the "still waiting for root device" errors to the installer page.

Any suggestion on my case?

Great that you got it working man!

I assembled my build yesterday and everything is running smooth!

Would you mind explaining how/and what to edit to get the wireless working? Kinda new on the whole Os x thing and I have absolutely no idea of which (XML-file?) to edit



Would be greatly appreciated!
