This is a kext which aims to provide support for Intel wireless devices on MacOS. It is intended to provide similar support with MacOS as a native AirPort device (via the IO80211Controller private IOKit class).
This kext does not function yet. Do NOT install this into Clover, or /S/L/E. You WILL ruin your system.
