There's no official Apple support for this WiFi card.

 

But you can try this "experience": https://github.com/ammulder/AppleIntelWiFiMVM

Picture of post #1 unureadable.

 

That particular Intel MVM kext project remained experimental and unfinished. It seems it was abandonned after 3 weeks or so and never went very far. To be honest, it was quite a challenge engaging on that road from scratch (the dev was really learning how to write a kext for OS X)...

 

There's no support for Intel wireless cards, full stop. OP's got to replace his by a supported card or USB dongle. There's no way around this.

It seems to be a miniPCIe half size card with two antennas. If you don't have a whitelist in your BIOS, i suggest you to buy BCM94352HMB. Wifi ac + BT 4.0 working with a few kexts and then recognised as airport extreme. IMHO, stay off USB adapters if you can. Low signal and possible problems with sleep.
