@aly4everfr I cannot load that kext because it does not have code for x8664 kernels. Here is the output: $ sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/ Password: /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) requested architecture/executable not found; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8). $ sudo kextutil /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/ Can't read info dictionary for AirPortIntel.kext: IOCFUnserialize: syntax error near line 37.

Support information for Intel® WiFi Link 5100. We appreciate all feedback, but cannot reply or give product support. Please do not enter contact information. Mar 24, 2015 - Looking for kext(drivers) for Intel WIFI Link 5100 for Mac OSX 10.5.3. Kext for Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100 too.

Where did you get this kext from? I can't find many results for AirPortIntel.kext on Google Original comment by rin.@gmail.com on 14 Mar 2010 at 11:05. Added labels:.
Removed labels:. Hi guys, Apparently this guy is working on a solution for most intel wifi drivers (5100 series included). According to him (read on his blog) we can expect a working kext in a couple of months. Blog: Facebook page for more frequent updates: So just be patient. We waited more than a year, im sure we can hold on for a few more months:) Original comment by eliw1.@gmail.com on 11 Jun 2010 at 3:53.
Added labels:. Removed labels:. That's great news! And yes, I'm happy to wait a little longer for a working kext for the 5100 AGN!
Although, if people are inpatient I guess they could try a WiFi Adapters like the Dynamode WL-700N-MINI, D-LINK 54M DWL-G122 or DLink DWA-643 Xtreme N ExpressCard? I have considered these myself, but not sure how well they work. If anyone has any experience with any Wifi adapters that work, please share:) Original comment by kennethm.@gmail.com on 14 Jun 2010 at 10:52. Added labels:. Removed labels:.
Those devices will not be supported by the newest firmware versions: the last firmware that was released for 3160, 7260 and 7265 is -17.ucode. Bug fixes will be ported to -17.ucode. 7265D, 3165 and 3168's latest firmware version is -29.ucode. In order to determine if your 7265 device is a 'D' version, you can check the dmesg output: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7265, REV=0x210 The revision number of a 7265D device is 0x210, if you see any other number, you have a 7265 device. Firmwareclass dependency. The firmware necessary to support the devices is distributed separately under the.
Note that many distributions ship the firmware, you could install the “linux-firmware” package or similar. If that doesn't work, or you need newer firmware, read on.? The driver loads the firmware using the kernel's firmwareclass infrastructure. More information can be found under in the file in the kernel source.
In order to function correctly the driver requires this to be enabled in your kernel. When you configure the kernel, you can find this option in the following location: Device Drivers - Generic Driver Options - Userspace firmware loading support You can determine if your kernel currently has firmware loader support by looking for the CONFIGFWLOADER definition on your kernel's.config file. In addition to having the firmwareclass support in your kernel, you must also have a working userspace infrastructure configured. The steps for installing and configuring this are very distribution specific and the tools differ, but distributions have this enabled. Once you have the firmware loader in place (or if you aren't sure and you just want to try things to see if it works), you need to install the firmware file into the appropriate location. About the backport tree.

We merge the updates coming from the backport infrastructure on a regular basis. This means that the bleeding edge of the backport tree will run against decently recent kernel (usually against Linus's tree).
If you checkout an earlier branch / commit in backport-iwlwifi.git, you might not be able to work against the most recent kernel. Please keep that in mind. We have a release cycle based on the backport tree.
These can be very useful for someone who wants to integrate our Wi-Fi solution into his home made system. About platform noise. Wi-Fi heavily relies on radio frequencies, and those are subject to interference. Interference may come from another Wi-Fi device, or from many other non Wi-Fi devices (e.g. Microwaves) that operates on the same frequency, and it might also come from other components of your own device/computer – this is known as 'platform noise'. Platform noise depends on the actual platform/computer and its design/manufacturing, and not on the Intel Wi-Fi module.
Some common sources of platform noise might be:.
