Is your WiFi card supported OOB? I don't have it because I don't have a WiFi chip at all.

D-Link DWA-556 works OOB!

It looks like you need more than just OOB support to get this working. Even the factory machines do not support this feature all.

The biggest issue with AirDrop seems to be finding compatible hardware. It does not appear to be supported by Macs using Atheros WiFi interfaces, as AirDrop didn't show up on a Late 2006 MacBook Pro 2,2. It also didn't seem to work on a Early 2009 Mac mini 3,1 using Broadcom's "Airport Extreme (0x14E4, 0x90)" WiFi chip. Both models should be officially supported by Lion, both support 802.11n and both use Core 2 Duo CPUs.

AirDrop did show up on a mid 2010 Core i5 MacBook Pro 6,1 using a Broadcom "Airport Extreme (0x14E4, 0x93)" WiFi interface card similar but not identical to the two year old Mac mini. The newest Early 2001 MacBook Pro 8,1 with Sandy Bridge CPUs are unable to run the existing Lion Developer Preview, which came out before they were released.

Interesting. Apple needs to fix this! A lot of people will be pretty disappointed with this!
