Hi there,

I'm running OS X Lion 10.7.3 on a hackintosh. Every thing runs perfectly. I really feel I own a real Mac ... but I have a wifi problem.

I own a Netgear N300 PCI Wifi card, version WN311B using a Broadcom BCM43xx chip.
I have rebranded this card as an Apple Airport Extreme (0x14E4, 0x87).
It works and is recognized by OS X as an official card... but ... I am experiencing huge wifi instability.

Each time I get disconnected (sometimes every 2 minutes, sometimes 10 or more), Console says :

Any idea of what can cause this and how to fix it ?
This is the last thing I have to fix to have a perfectly reliable Hackintosh. Help really appreciated.

Many thanks
