Hackintosh Compatible Wifi

I'm looking for a wireless adapter with the following properties:
- OS X ML/Mavericks compatible
- 802.11ac
- Dual-Band
- Cheap (preferably under 40$ CAD)

Currently using an Intel 2230, which is by no means bad, but not hackintosh-compatible.

Thanks

 

Intel WiFi adapters aren't compatible with OS X no matter what the model since OS X primarily use the Broadcom chip on their WiFi cards.

Here's a hackintosh compatible dual band Wireless-N Broadcom card (not an AC though): Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Broadcom Wireless 802 11/a/g/n Internet WLAN Adapter Card for Laptops & Netbooks

afaik, under 40$ and ac isn't doable right now, find what chip the new MBA is using and look for an adapter using that chip.

 

Nope.

Canada Computers | Networking | Intel AC1200 (7260HMW) 7260.HMWWB 802.11ac, dual band 2x2, Bluetooth 4.0, PCIe Half Mini Card, USB, HMC Brown Box

But its an Intel chip

As for the MBA, i went on Apple website and they don't specify.

@Cbautis

Im really considering that one. Unless someone finds me an AC one that is cheap.

 

Check out Broadcom 802.11 ac wifi and bluetooth combo card for osx - Wifi/Bluetooth - OSXLatitude Forum

 

The price for that broadcom 4352 is insane. $100 USD on Ebay. Might as well ask Dell where they purchase those cards that they put on to their Alienware laptops.

 

100$?

lolno. I'm a student and i'm on a budget.

@cbautis2

Killer Wireless-N 1202, i believe?

 

That's their entry level. Their top of the line is the Broadcom 4352 which is might be compatible with OS X. No Intel WiFi will ever work on OS X out of the box. That Broadcom 4352 just needed some coding to work on OS X (according to the other forum) while the Broadcom without the AC will work out of the box.

The Broadcom is expensive because it is not widely available, the actual price should be much lower.
I think some of the clevo/sager reseller actually carry them so you can try there. I believe it is listed as un-branded (not intel) ac card. You can also find the p/n and try get from dell.

The killer is not ac.

 

I'll stretch to 50$ but thats as high as i'll go. If there are no AC's in this range, ill just pay the 10$ and get a cheap N card, and relocate my Intel 2230 to my older Wireless-G laptop.

 

You would have to check with them, the broadcom should not be much more expensive than Intel.

 

give me the name of the card?

 

Check the photo on my post #8 in this thread. You'll see the name of the card.

 

Only found one for 97$ on schmeebay

 

Like I said in the previous threads, it's insane at $100 which I also found on "schmeebay"

 

This card is under 50$ , Dual band and Work OOTB on my Hackintosh Pro Desktop PC on MAc Os X 10.8.5 : TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless 45$

Oops, sorry, you are looking for notebook card are you? So i guess this one is a perfect match : Atheros AR5B195 --> work OOTB with Atheros latest Kext. and it's bluetooth combo --> working as well

 

Guys, i've decided to just hackintosh my desktop instead, since my desktop has more compatible hardware, and a OS X working Wifi Card (Atheros). But thanks for all the help.
