TL-WN851N atheros wireless not working

[jgandrade11]

Hi,

I am a new to the hackintosh community and I need help getting this card to work.
I read that this card works well in 10.7 but I am unable to get it to work.
The directions from wiki.osx86project say the following:

"Need to add vendor ID in IO80211Family.kext and AtherosFix.kext. Required in /S/L/E. "

1.- How and where do I add the vendor ID? (after using "show package contents" from IO80211Family.kext there are multiple files/folders inside).
2.- Where is AtherosFix.kext?

Sorry for my ignorance regarding above issues. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Your final destination is:

/System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros21.kext/Contents/Info.plist

You need to use "show package contents" at the IO80211Family.kext and then again at the AirPortAtheros.kext. Once you open the Info.plist you will see the DEV ID that looks like the following if you use TextWrangler:
<array>
<string>pci106b,0086</string>
<string>pci168c,1c</string>
<string>pci168c,23</string>
<string>pci168c,24</string>
</array>

Add the string pci168c,29 and see what happens after reboot.

This is actually working perfect so far with a core 2 duo but if I try with the i7 or i5 it will only work for a couple of minutes. Running SL 10.6.8 but should work with Lion just as well.
