In my case, the card worked like this, but I had to initialize it (turn it off, then back on) in System Preferences every time I rebooted. It may come up as "built in ethernet" or something like that, instead of "Airport" in System Prefrences > Network. You may need to force OSX to recognize the new Broadcom card as an Airport card.

Then, install a BIOS on the computer that has the whitelist removed or edited to include the 4322 chip. They were released, so this seems like it's after some of the problems you guys have been having.
#Intel centrino wireless n wimax 6250 drivers
We found some updated drivers on Intel's site which Intel seems to imply will work. I suggest the Broadcom cards with the 4322 chip, as they will get you wireless N speeds on a Hackintosh. My brother's satellite E305 is having this problem (it also has a Centrino Advanced-N + Wimax 6250 wireless card, I believe). But to use them you have to run the software to modify the firmware with a Windows computer (not always available after hackintoshing a hard drive), and if anything goes wrong, the wifi chip is virtually useless.īetter to sell the one you have on eBay (6950s still command a decent price) and reinvest the proceeds into an Apple compatible Broadcom wifi card. There are also hacks designed to change the Centrino wifi card's firmware, fooling OSX into believing that the wifi card is something compatible with OSX, instead of what it really is.
Search the forums there and you should find all you need. The best source for that is Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source. The solution if you are in this spot is to get a BIOS with the whitelist removed. So, just buying an Apple compatible broadcom card and plugging it in most often does not work without modification on "Centrino" machines. If on power-up, the BIOS sees any wifi card other than the ones in its whitelist, which is usually limited to a very few in the 4950-6950 series of Intel wifi cards - none of which will be recognized as an Airport wifi device, the machine will refuse to boot. They were released, so this seems like its after some of the problems you guys have been having. We found some updated drivers on Intels site which Intel seems to imply will work. This is done via a whitelist in the BIOS. My brothers satellite E305 is having this problem (it also has a Centrino Advanced-N + Wimax 6250 wireless card, I believe). Basically, what "Centrino" means is, "The manufacturer has disabled all other wifi cards in this machine except for the Intel branded card that it originally shipped with."
