I followed the guide to install Sierra on my Asus s300ca, all seems to work except wifi, i changed recently the original wifi card for the ATHEROS AR9285 AR5B95, Bluetooth is working natively but Wifi doesnt... I tried DSDT patch and toledaARPT.kext, but still doesn't work. I'm desperate... I just need the wifi working for a proper use of my laptop.

Thanks in advance to the person who could help me :)

"Problem Reporting" files are corrupt (likely wrong version of IORegistryExplorer used).
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Your ioreg/clover bootlog/etc shows no AR9285 installed.
Note, from Clover bootlog (extracted from ioreg):
Code: 
0:100  0:000  PCI (00|02:00.00) : 168C 0034 class=028000
168c:34 is AR9462.
 
I specially bought an AR9285 on Ebay.... Glad to know we can trust sellers.... I read in the FAQ that you advise to buy the BCM94352HMB, what would you advise me ? Ask for a refund on the AR9462 and buy the BCM94352HMB or ask the seller to replace the AR9462 by a real AR9285 ?

From what I understood BCM94352HMB is natively supported ?

Requirements for BCM94352 are in the FAQ (it is not native):

Hey,

I'm reopening this thread in the hope to solve my issue. I am moving from Mavericks 10.9.5 to Sierra 10.12.6 (fresh install of course) on my Asus S56 laptop. I had a working build on Mavericks previously.
I am using an Atheros AR9285 as Wifi card. I tried to install the kexts I've found in the guide you have linked (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/, under "Q. WiFi/bluetooth is not working. How to fix?"), which are toledaARPT.kext and IOath3kfrmwr.kext, but I had no luck with this try. The Wifi icon wouldn't appear in the top bar and I don't see any Wifi-related entry in System Preferences > Network.
Attached is the ZIP with the requested files for problem solving.

Thanks!

Use the tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.
