allocate Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I'm eagerly awaiting the 5100 support as well. The Gateway P-7809u would be a flawless hackintosh if it weren't for that damn 5100 wifi card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaestroX1 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hi. Just wanted to know if there was any reason for the lack of a kext for the 5100/5300 series. Isn't there a lot of hardware that is unsupported by OS X yet working perfectly? So what's the deal with the Intel Wifi chips? Are they difficult to program drivers for? Not enough people using them? etc... Cheers, Maestro X1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPhantom Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Ok, so reading through all of this, it seems as though there still is YET to be a driver for the Intel 5300 wifi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutant_Tractor Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I tried on my 10.6.4 dell system but i am getting this error. The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/iwi2200.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. Did this work for anyone? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

Hagar Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkPhantom Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I have searched high and low, and all point to a dead end. I'm going to simply get a wifi adapter. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
