Wifi not working on AR9565

[JohnnyWolinger]

Hi zainanjum,
Unfortunately, I was never able to activate the AR9565 card that came with my Inspiron 15 under HS 10.13.2/3/4. I tried several kext versions and install methods from all hackintosh forums, but I was never able to successfully scan networks. Had to use an external USB WiFi adapter temporarily (RT2870-based, from a Raspberry Pi) to "cut the cord". I then followed Rehabman's advice, and purchased a Broadcom-based 43xx card (mine is a Dell DW 1560, but DW 1830 is also reported to work OK as NGFF option). Both WiFi and BT work fine, without issues with the DW1560.

Good luck !

AR956x Of Dell, don't have activation, the id of this board its different from ACER variation, i tryed to activate this and DELL variation of Atheros its incompatible.

Quick and easy fix for AR9565 / DW1705 which reported to work for 10.8-10.14 and also worked for me on 10.14.6
In terminal:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kalifans/Darwin/Driver/ar956x-drv-osx.tar.gz
tar zxvf ar956x-drv-osx.tar.gz
cd ar956x-drv-osx
./ar956x-inst.sh

Then reboot.
