Intel Wireless 7260: is it possible to port driver from linux to mac ?

Hello,

I'm a completely newbie to the mac world. In the last days I succeeded in install my personal hackintosh on a laptop : almost everything's ok, but the wifi intel!!

 

I know it is not compatible as Apple do not use this hardware , but I wander if more expert gurus could port the driver from linux to mac.

 

I found on Intel site the links to the repository for linux driver: obviously I'll be very gratefull and ready to test the solutions  :-P

 

here is the repository:

thanks in advance

It's not the 1st time such a request is made. Unfortunately, none ever got satisfied. If such porting were feasible, I guess it would have long been by now done and for all sorts of Intel cards. Last attempts to produce such Mac OS X drivers date back to Tiger/Leopard era (we're talking 7 or 8 years ago!) and success was somehow limited with little stability. You can search the Net for this.
 
Don't wait for an elusive OS X driver that you'll never get and swap out your card for a supported model or use a supported wireless dongle.
