I'm looking for a wireless adapter with the following properties:
- OS X ML/Mavericks compatible
- 802.11ac
- Dual-Band
- Cheap (preferably under 40$ CAD)
Currently using an Intel 2230, which is by no means bad, but not hackintosh-compatible.
Thanks

Intel WiFi adapters aren't compatible with OS X no matter what the model since OS X primarily use the Broadcom chip on their WiFi cards.
Here's a hackintosh compatible dual band Wireless-N Broadcom card (not an AC though): Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Broadcom Wireless 802 11/a/g/n Internet WLAN Adapter Card for Laptops & Netbooks

afaik, under 40$ and ac isn't doable right now, find what chip the new MBA is using and look for an adapter using that chip.

Canada Computers | Networking | Intel AC1200 (7260HMW) 7260.HMWWB 802.11ac, dual band 2x2, Bluetooth 4.0, PCIe Half Mini Card, USB, HMC Brown Box
But its an Intel chip
As for the MBA, i went on Apple website and they don't specify.
@Cbautis
Im really considering that one. Unless someone finds me an AC one that is cheap. -

Killer Wireless-N 1202, i believe? -

The Broadcom is expensive because it is not widely available, the actual price should be much lower.
I think some of the clevo/sager reseller actually carry them so you can try there. I believe it is listed as un-branded (not intel) ac card. You can also find the p/n and try get from dell.
The killer is not ac. -

You would have to check with them, the broadcom should not be much more expensive than Intel.
-
give me the name of the card?

Check the photo on my post #8 in this thread. You'll see the name of the card.

This card is under 50$ , Dual band and Work OOTB on my Hackintosh Pro Desktop PC on MAc Os X 10.8.5 : TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless 45$
Oops, sorry, you are looking for notebook card are you? So i guess this one is a perfect match : Atheros AR5B195 --> work OOTB with Atheros latest Kext. and it's bluetooth combo --> working as wellJobine likes this. -
Guys, i've decided to just hackintosh my desktop instead, since my desktop has more compatible hardware, and a OS X working Wifi Card (Atheros). But thanks for all the help.
