+1 on this.  I'm a developer, if there is anything I can do to help, let me 
know.  
I've never developed a ktext before or a driver for that matter, but I'd be 
willing 
to learn if you guided me to some resources.

Wow, it looks like there are a LOT of people out there who need this driver.  it
really says something -- I thought I was one of only a few!  Who can we show 
this
thread to for motivation to help code a kext?  It even makes ME want to learn 
how to
do it...

Someone needs to make a kext for the Intel 5100 AGN. I have a Lenovo T400, 
everything
else seems to be working great so far, I need wi-fi and ethernet drivers for 
Intel
62567LM!

Hi, 

   How are you? Good I hope. I was wondering if you could possibly find the time and
kindness in your heart to put together a driver for the intel 5100agn pci-e 
card to
function under OSX. A bunch of us here would be profoundly grateful. 

Thanks in Advance,
eso

I bought an $80 USB wifi thing that works at Radioshack. I can return it within 
30
days of purchase. I'll give you some of that money I get back if you get this in
time!!!!!!!!

This should have high priority! xD

Altogether this thread is offering over $350 for whoever does this! I'm very
hopeful!!!!!!!!

Another vote here. 

 Is there any way we can get some sort of Paypal account opened and have people
donate what they say they are willing to? If any devs stand up and work on 
this, then
they should open an account.  Then the dev states a fee for development.  We 
agree/
negotiate, and everyone puts in half of what they can offer; as a deposit.  
When the
dev gets close to final release (it's working with a few bugs) then we dump our 
other
half.  This project will go faster with this kind of setup, and people will be 
held
accountable for their development, and their donations.

Original comment by goz...@gmail.com on 12 May 2009 at 8:10

Can a dev please give us an estimate on when this will be done?
I already voted for the 5100.

Also, if there is any way I could help, I'd be glad to! I have basic programming
skills and driver knowledge. I'm not an expert by any means, but if there is 
anybody
else that would want to help me out with development, my email is 
taelmx@gmail.com

sheesh this thing has 53 stars and it's been open for 8 months almost.

Yes, we need this very bad! Please give us like...at least an update on if it's 
even
being worked on? This stupid $80 USB thing I got works, but it's falling apart 
and
the USB plug is like...loose...I don't mind paying $80 for an alternative, but 
if it
breaks, my biggest concern is not having internet!
