[QUOTE="niluseast, post: 1589273, member: 328280"] [b]WiFi stick does not work after reboot[/b] Moin from Hamburg, [B]Problem:[/B] My TL-WN725N WiFi USB stick is no longer activated / being used ... I installed a driver for the Realtek chipset RTL8188CUS like explained here. It worked like a charm untill I shutdown my notebook and rebooted the system. Since then the WiFi USB Dongle does not work anymore. The WiFi symbol is greyed out and the tooltip simply says something like that 'hardware is not available'. -> Airport card is broken. Quite strangely, the stick is still recognized by the system profiler as USB device. [B]Tried troubleshooting methods:[/B] - CMD + Option + P + R while system boot - Re-/install the driver numerous times - Reboot the system in various scenarios - Remove the Airport configuration in the Network Settings - Launch the WiFi Utility that came with the Realtek driver [B]Question:[/B] Does anyone have an idea or suggestion, how I can use the WiFi stick again? [B]Background:[/B] Why do I have installed the stick? Because my Airport card is defect, (no longer recognized by the system) and a repair is too expensive (display must be replaced). Thanks a million for any hints Yours truly, Nilus Mac OS X (10.9), Macbook Pro 5,5 [/QUOTE]
