Hi Everyone -

I have successfully installed El Capitan on my Hackintosh thanks to Stork's great guide.

Question - how do I get onboard WiFi to work? My MoBo is the Gigabyte H97 WiFi so I presume it should work somehow.....

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, the wifi card that comes with Gigabyte Wifi motherboards is based on an Intel wifi chipset, which is not supported in OS X. Fortunately there's an easy fix - the wifi card is a standard Mini PCIe card and is easily replaceable with a compatible Broadcom or Qualcomm Atheros card. See the following threads for more information on compatible cards:
