I've tried almost everything i can find including Full Re-install of Kubuntu, And standard Ubuntu. A lot of people say its the drivers which are ATH5K driver which i have tried to run a new install of the driver, tried to run ndiswrapper(which removed my wireless completely) tried the madbull drivers, and tried a backporting the driver. None have worked. I added the computer type and wifi card type in the title just in case its one of those doing it instead. This is a log of all of the wireless status.
Install dependencies required to compile the driver: sudo apt-get install -reinstall linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms Go and download the newest driver to your computer then place the file on your desktop and right click and extract here. Then compile the driver using the directions below.
Cd /Desktop/backports-3.15-rc1-1 make defconfig-ath5k make sudo make install sudo modprobe -rv ath5k sudo modprobe -v ath5k When you have an upgrade to the kernel you will need to do: cd /Desktop/backports-3.15-rc1-1 make clean make defconfig-ath5k make sudo make install sudo modprobe -rv ath5k sudo modprobe -v ath5k.
At first I followed iboot+multibeast step by step tutorial. Had to install with iBoot GE and -x option.
But after the 10.6.5 combo update and multiBeast with easybeast and reboot I wasn't albe to start Leopard. So I started in safe mode (-x), but keyboard and trackpad were not working. I rebooted using the iboot GE cd in safe mode and keyboard and trackpad were back. I removed some kext from the Extra folder and then I was albe to boot again into Leopard but keyb and trackpad were gone again. They only worked if I was booting from cd.
Tried variuos kexts install and uninstall but nothing seemed to make keyb and trackpad work without the boot cd. So I booted from cd, opened terminal and launched 'kextstats' to see which kexts was running while keyboard and trackpad was working. I wrote down all the extra kexts (not Apple). Then I reinstalled Snow Leopard from the beginning. But this time after the Snow Leopard retail dvd install and reboot, I didn't run the 10.6.5 combo update. Instead I started MultiBeast and installed only the few kext I needed + Chameleon: Voodoo PS/2 Controller with trackpad VoodooHDA 0.2.1 fakesmc NullCPUPowerManagement Chameleon 2.0 RC5 Prerelease 32-bit Apple Boot Screen System Utilities I rebooted and everything was still working without the boot cd, even the complete power off! At this point I installed the 10.6.5 ComboUpdate, rerun multibeast again with chameleon RC5 and System Utilities, rebooted.
Everything was still working. The only thing I was missing now was network. I installed with multibeast the Realtek RTL8169 Ethernet with system utilities, rebooted and now I also have the network, but I missed the complete power off. Also standby doesn't work for now but. I'm very happy with my new hackintosh (the second Thanks Tonymac!!
