Reverting to maolj's kext resolved my connection problems and the slow speed over VPN issue.Īre you aware of issues using VPN? I am happy to load the kext again and provide verbose output if it will help.Įdited to add - Shailua I just spotted that where the word _Multi_beast_ is hashes have replaced the letters in my post - but version 5.2 of that is what I am using. Updating Qualcomm Atheros drivers by Device Manager is a common and simple way to update drivers. In my case I also had slow performance over VPN using your kext from # 5.2. In his case removing the VPN from the router addressed his issue or using maolj's kext also addressed the issue.
On my post on the subject over at I notice another user has reported inability to connect using the driver when the VPN is configured on his router. This behaviour is intermittent with the fault appearing somewhere between 30-40% of the time after closing a VPN tunnel. I then have to reboot the machine in order to regain functionality. I still have an IP address and I can renew the lease from the DHCP server but internet just does not work. My problem is that after disconnecting the VPN yunnel my ethernet no longer works. My board is Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H F14 and I am using Chimera as bootloader. Hello Shailua and thank you for your work! I tried your kext as it is included in # 5.2 and I had no trouble loading it and everything appeared fine until I used a VPN connection. I want to keep a more stable hack for my personal reasons.
There's a (very slim) chance that it might help. You could try unplugging all power from your PC for a few seconds and then booting and see if it helps. Sometimes I've noticed the ethernet card can go a little odd when a new kext is loaded for the first time though. I'll try and investigate further if I can though. Was there any other messages other than the MAC reset errors that you can see in /var/log/system.log from the Console app? If not it might be a problem that can only be fixed with a Linux patch from Atheros themselves. These are sent out by some of the low-level internal hardware code when something goes wrong. The MAC reset errors seem to be the issue. Speed is only really an issue if you transfer a lot of files around over your ethernet LAN or have a *really* fast Internet connection. The AR8152 is a 100Mb/s (non-gigabit) adapter, so it might not be worth switching if the other driver works fine.
