The card you have should work fine. Have you verified the card is functional in Windows or Linux?
 
yes it works fine. its a new laptop
if you think its a good card i can try again

BTW, post #17 shows you have an AR9485, which is not supported. Have you replaced it with AR9285?
 
On my card i read AR5B125

OK, it is Ivy Bridge CPU with HD4000. You should have no trouble installing OS X.

Your Wifi, however, is not compatible (it is AR9485), so you'll need to replace it. The wired Ethernet is probably supported.

From post #16:
Code: 
this is the result

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lspci -nn

03:00.0 Class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:5286] (rev 01)
03:00.2 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [10ec:8136] (rev 06)

I have placed emphasis on the relevant data. 168c:0032 is AR9485 (AR5B225/AR5B125), not AR9285 (AR5B195).

AR9485 is not supported. You must replace it. I already told you this in post #17. Somewhere along the line we got confused into thinking that you have AR9285, when clearly you don't. In post #18, you said you were going to look for a new WiFi card, perhaps that's why I assumed you had already done that.
