I've followed guides for getting various atheros cards to work on various versions of OS X. Most of them involve getting a kext file from an older OS X update, putting it the extensions folder, repairing the permissions, and loading it via terminal.

Turns out I needed some old wireless kexts from 10.6.2.
There is a bit of plist editing involved too!
