Wi-fi problems AR-9382 chipset

[maccheese4]

Hello everyone,

I just bought a new pci-e wireless card and it is recognized in MacOS 10.9.2 Mavericks but it will not recognize any nearby networks and is essentially non-functional. The card has an Atheros AR9382 chipset. I saw on some other posts from mid-last year that some people were having problems with cards with this chipset and I was wondering if anyone has found a solution? Is there a driver or kext or something that I can install to make it work?

Alternatively, is there a way to block MacOS from initializing this Pci-e card? I could use my old wireless card for MacOSX and the new one for my Windows and Linux builds if so...

Thank you!

Ah, ok.

Do you know if there is a way to keep mac OS from looking at that Pci-e slot by any chance so I can still use it with my other OS's?

Thanks for your quick reply, btw!
