You'll have to add the PCIID of your card to the Info.plist file of the AppleAirPortBrcm4311.

 

This works for Leopard. Snow Leopard is more or less the same

 

1. Open a terminal and run:
   

   sudo su
   chmod 777 /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/Info.plist

   
   

2. Open /System/Library/Extensions in Finder
   
3. Right Click IO80211Family.kext -> Show package contents
   
4. Go to Contents/PlugIns
   
5. Right Click AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext -> Show package contents
   
6. Go to Contents
   
7. Open Info.plist with TextEdit
   
8. You'll find something like this:
   

   <string>pci106b,4e</string>
   <string>pci14e4,4311</string>
   <string>pci14e4,4312</string>
   <string>pci14e4,4313</string>
   ...

   
    
   Insert a new one with your device id number (mine was 4315, you can run "ioreg -l | grep 14e4" in a terminal to find out which is yours):
   

   <string>pci14e4,4315</string>

   
    
   

9. Open a terminal and run:
   

   sudo su
   chmod 644 /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/Info.plist
   rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
