Need kext for Intel WiFi link 5100

Looking for kext(drivers) for Intel WIFI Link 5100
for Mac OSX 10.5.3

lethaldosemedia, can you debug iwfi.kext?
this kext as the latest linux sources and i think is the right way to make the 
driver work

in future i think it can be mixed with mercurysquad code and work as a airport 
device

if iwifi.kext turns stable a nsgui/networkselector interface can be made

Achille,

your card can be one of the follow:
{IWL_PCI_DEVICE(0x4237, 0x1216, iwl5100_abg_cfg)},
or
{IWL_PCI_DEVICE(0x4237, PCI_ANY_ID, iwl5100_agn_cfg)},

meaning abg or agn card
just try latest iwifi.kext and report in insanelymac forum

I will readily donate $100 once 5100 support is here.
It's Intel Pro/Wireless 5100 [shiloh].

BTW, I have experience in objective c / iphone programming.
Also have formerly coded in C for the PSP, with pretty good skills.

Kindly let me know if I could lend my hand as a programmer/developer for this 
project.

Hoping for the best,

@aly4everfr
I cannot load that kext because it does not have code for x86_64 kernels.

I have 10.6.2 with 32-bit kernel and IWL5100 (8086:4237). I corrected the

How can I help the developers?
My Dell Inspiron 1545 has this card.
Kext I test and report bugs to whoever wants.
But already lost hope of someone developing this kext.

Are they still working on this project or is it a dead end?
I have a Dell Studio 1737 and got Sound, native resolution, keyboard&trackpad 
but still no Wifi..
I have to use my iPod Touch with PDANet to send my iPod's WiFi connection 
through the usb cabel into my 
laptop.. It works alright, but still.
Maybe also a tip for all of you guys. If you have a ipod touch of iphone 
ofcourse ;)
