alot of users reported that one doesn't work. if you scroll down you find another set of kexts that actually do detect the wireless card but haven't found a way to activate it.

You need to go to terminal and do this:
Sudo -s
cd /System/Library
rm -rf Extensions.mkext
rm -rf Extensions.kextcache
cd Extensions
chown -R root:wheel iwi2200.kext
kextload iki2200.kext
reboot

If you get an error on kextload saying you need to enter -t then navigate to /System/Library/Extensions in finder, find iwi2200.kext Right-Click (I'm a windows guy) and Get-Info,
Under Permissions and Sharing at the bottom you need to click the lock, enter your password and set root:wheel to Read Only, re-click the lock, go back into terminal and type:

kextload /System/Library/Extensions/iwi2200.kext

Then reboot
Hope this helps

Funny that I find this tonight.  I have been trying to get my Alienware m15x (core i7 920 2GHz) going on Snow Leopard for the past couple of days.  With some diligent searching from this forum and others I have installed retail 10.6.3 and upgraded to the 10.6.5 combo with Audio, Video, and NIC all working (PM for driver info until I post it properly), but not the Intel Wireless 5300.  

To make sure I'm not missing anything, I downloaded the Intel® WIFI Link 5100 - 5300 pkg and installed it.  I got the same error referenced in posts above.  Before rebooting I did what Mutant_Tractor suggested as well and had no luck.  I don't see any wireless devices at all.  Any suggestions will be appreciated and any successes will be reported.     Thanks!!

I was wondering what "IBE" means, until I realised it was "ONE".

Tut tut, Miss Glau. For a terminator, it isn't like you to miss two keys in a row.

There isn't currently any working driver for the intel wifi series on snow leopard. There was a driver for the 2100/2200 on tiger, which worked to an extent. The drivers labelled as "finally 5100 series etc WORKING!!!" is FAKE. There are/were 2 projects working towards a solution, iwidarwin and project camphor. the former appears abandoned and the latter unfinished.

For now, as for the past few years the best bet is to find a different wifi adapter. Please do not post unless there is definite news.

[DarkPhantom]

I have searched high and low, and all point to a dead end. I'm going to simply get a wifi adapter.
