Hi,

I've tried to download the above link, but alas the file had been deleted

It would seem I having the same issue as many other people do, when install OSX on a Lenovo laptop wifi my issues is with the AR9485 which doesn't work so I saved up for AR9285 which does, but the stupid whitelist stops me running the wifi card.

I feel a little cheeky by asking you to help me but your my only hope!
