Kext for Intel centrino N2230 Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n? Apple doesn't happen to use ANY Intel wirless cards (they, so far, use Atheros or Broadcom certain models). So there IS NO OFFICIAL apple driver for Intel WiFi cards.
Hi folks, I purchased a huggable x220 in a fortunate deal from a local company. Deal is, it comes with a 3 years worth of warrenty on site which I don't want to mess with. I have made my x220 a hackintosh with Mountain Lion. Almost everything is working leaving WiFi, which is kinda sad. However, I have found a workaround for my predicament using my Android based Nexus 4, but I guess this will work with any Gingerbread and later based Android mobile. It allows me to connect to any wifi network in vicinity and lets me access the internet.
Further I also get to use the internet from my 'droid 3g as well. Here is how I do it:- 1.
Install H0rNDIS pkg, this will allow you to tether your 'Droid to laptop using USB. Now with your 3g enabled connect your 'Droid to your hackintosh with USB. Tekla structures 17 license server cracked skywars.
On your 'Droid, go to settings -> (More.) -> Portable Network -> Tethering and Wifi Hotspot -> Enable USB tethering. Connect your 'Droid's WiFi to the network desired. Disable your 'Droid's 3G 6. Enjoy WiFi network from your Hackintosh. Please note this will not exactly allow you some cool Apple stuff like AirDrop etc, but oh well, something better than nothing I guess? PS: I am sure I am not the guy who invented this hack, some other folks surely must have discovered it before me, but oh well. I will leave it here so someone can use hackintosh without replacing their WiFi or carrying around a USB Wifi.
PPS: I love my x220 hackintosh and Nexus 4 combo.
Greetings Bizzaro, Thank you very much for you most generous contribution, its very kind of you to have documented all your efforts and shared them with us. I can tell you that following your indications I was able to get my x230 running within a Sunday morning. For the last couple of weeks I have been running along with it as a 'mobile' workstation and I am very happy with it, so I am looking into solving the final issues I have, and perhaps contribute a little bit to the benefit of all. Regarding the wireless I tried to rebrand another wireless card to show as an airport extreme, only to hit the wall with the whitelist present in the lenovos. The current solution is to flash another BIOS with the whitelist removed. As you might know, the x230 have signature procedure to prevent unauthorised flashes of the BIOS; I have tried to modify the firmware in the middle of the process to allow my device ID with no success (the version number gets increased but the check remains for the old ID, so I might be missing something). The other alternatives are to use coreboot (open source BIOS), but with this I loose the hardware encryption of the drive (OPAL), and since it is not possible to use filevault 2 with OSX86, and non-encrypted drive is not an option in my scenario, I have to rely on the Lenovo BIOS.
