Intel 5100/5300 Detected As Ethernet

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Not really a problem but trying to spread the word and see if anyone can
push us closer to a solution for these series of Intel Wireless Pro Cards.

I got the Intel 5100/5300 to be detected as an ethernet card. This is a
step forward. I have modified the original iwi4965 driver and installed it,
replacing the iwi4965 kext with yet another modified version.

Maybe some random user can move this progress even further ahead. Network
Selector doesnt' give the infamous kernel loader error. It just refreshes
back to the main menu.

What steps will reproduce the revelation?

1. Download Attached zip file which is the iwi4965 package/installer and a
modified iwi4965 kext.

2. Open installer and install fully. Once it is completed DO NOT CLICK
RESTART. 

3. Go to extensions folder and delete the iwi4965.kext.

4. Open up Kext Helper B7 (Use Google to download)
Tick the advanced box, click the button "Kext Permissions" in lower left. 

5. Import modified iwi4965.kext included in zip.

6. Type password in the field and then click button "Easy Install".

7. Once finished, STILL DO NOT CLICK RESTART.

OS X should now notify you it found a new network interface, click ok and
when window opens up click apply.

As you can see it shows up as an ethernet card and not an airport/wireless
card.
