osx works great

No, they are not all supported by OS X. Out of your list above, only the AR9285 and AR9380 are supported (and supposedly only the 9380 full size is supported, not the half mini).

If your laptop does not implement a BIOS whitelist, it should work.

How do I know?

How do I know?

Try putting a foreign card in and see if the BIOS complains.

I tried to follow this guide:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html
To install Maverick + Windows 7 and it worked.

But than I tried to do the same with Windows 8 and it didn't. It is just loading directly Windows 8.
I did try both: to install Windows first and OSX first. Event tried to install Chameleon from Chameleon Wizard and Chimera from downloads section.

What it could be? Windows 8 installed in legacy mode on second partion.

You may need to mark the OS X partition active. Boot to Windows, open command prompt with Administrator, then type this:

diskpart
select disk 0
list partition
select partition X          #(X is the number of partition contains OS X)
active

Restart, if you have problem, boot to OS X bye Unibeast and reinstall Chameleon.

Now does not load anything with message:

But OSX or Windows could be still lauched from Unibeast USB.

Not a good idea. In a dual-boot scenario with Windows, a Windows partition should always be the active partition.

You have to deal with boot0 error, it's common, you can find it in forum.

I'm not really sure RehabMan, I couldn't boot to Chameleon after installing Windows 8. I tried reinstalling Chimera/Chameleon, no help. Only after make OS X partition, I could get Chameleon, and Windows 8 worked normally. It was when I used Chameleon. Have no problem with UEFI.
