Seeing that the need for a warranty-voiding Wi-Fi module switch was the only thing keeping users from easily making convincing mini-MacBooks, MSI has semi-released OS X wireless drivers for the Wind.
After pelting MSI with unlikely requests for OS X driver support, a number of users on the MSIWind.net forums have received responses from the company, written in the “Dear Sir/Madam” parlance of a Nigerian scammer but nevertheless containing an early version of working Wi-Fi drivers for the Wind’s Realtek RTL8187SE Wi-Fi module. The driver doesn’t allow the card to be used like a regular Airport adapter, but according to users connects just fine through Realtek client software.
