TP-WDN4800 multiple ATHR: Unknown locale: 21 Warnings in Log

[mcshewring]

Hi There,

I have a P55M-UD4 and a TP-WDN4800, everything works except an intemitant "Going To Sleep" issue where the computer just stays awake.

The wi-fi appears to work and connects at 5GHz when a low numbered channel is useds i.e. 38

However I get multiple warnings with the following message: ATHR: Unknown locale: 21

Please could someone help me resolve this issue.

Cheers

Marc

I have the same card - I see the same errors in my console, and I experience random drop outs to the ISP (connection to router is stable). I'm trying to figure out the cause, and will update if I have any success. Please let me know if you have any more information.

have you check this??

but, basically it's just a warning. in my card (AR9380/TP-Link WDN4800) it affect nothing, afaik.
however, i do need to change the country setting in my access point to use 5Ghz on my card.

Not sure about the errors in the console, but I have the same issue with random drop outs. I reverted back to ML for the time being.

I have the same issue "ATHR: unknown locale: 21". Any solution?

AFAIK, the EEPROM fix doesn't work on a 9380 card, as there is no known way to write to the 9380 EEPROM.

However, I've posted an alternate fix involving kext patching just yesterday: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/148852-solved-how-get-rid-athr-unknown-locale-21-errors.html
