Atheros AR5BHB92H not working properly

Open nelusab opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

High everybody! I’ve recently replaced the genuine wifi card Atheros Ar5bmd222 from my Acer Aspire 3S-371, with a new one Atheros ARBHB92H. I have 3 OS installed on this machine: Ubuntu 17.04, Mac OS Sierra, and Windows 10. The new wifi card is acting very strange even it was expected to act as a native card. It’s been activated on booting from Ubuntu USB installer (try Ubuntu without installation - option), and works great on all 3 OS, but after booting in Sierra, if trying to reboot in Sierra again or in other OS the card is loosing it’s properties and become unactivated. It is recognized in all 3 OS but the networks are not listed and is impossible to connect or activate manual. The single solution is to boot again from Ubuntu USB installer, which has this capability to activate the wifi card. After that I can boot ubuntu17.04 and windows 10 , no mather how many times, the card remain active and works properly. But if I boot Sierra the card will work great but I'll become a prisoner because once I quite Sierra, the card become insane again. Is there anybody able to give me a hand to solve this issue? thanks!

No native Sierra Atheros support; consider Broadcom.

I'm talking about AR5BHB92H - ATHEROS 9280

Now I see, it was an error on first post, a typing error. Correct code is AR5BHB92H .
