Hola!

I just installed Yosemite and all the graphics, sound, and most of the hardware works great...

But when I installed, the OS didn't let me choose to set up Wi-fi, which was quite ominous. I decided to just set that up later, because that was really the only option.

Now, I have no idea what to do but to somehow install some sort of magical kext... I've done plenty of research already, but I keep getting absolutely nothing.

So I shall show you my card specs in the wifi department, and maybe you can help me in some way? :crazy:

Under the DEVICE MANAGER in Windows, this is what's listed:

Definitely not 'ominous'...

For Ethernet: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/296190-driver-for-realteks-rtl810x-fast-ethernet-series/

As for WiFi, AR9485 is not supported and must be replaced. Compatible chipsets and the procedures for making them work are covered here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html
