Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

Pay attention the Broadwell info in the FAQ. It is important.

I found this :
Note: If the device is not listed in post #1 of the linked WiFi guide, it is not supported. Intel WiFi, RaLink WiFi, and Realtek PCIe WiFi are simply not supported and must be replaced with something compatible.

means my wifi will not work??
