Hi,
so, my lion is running, but without wlan its kind of useless.

i have a tp link pci card installed. i already downloaded the kext from http://www.osx86.net/view/2046-tp-link_tl-wn851nd_atheros_ar9287.html

well, then i copied that kext to my desktop und opened it with kext utility. after a reboot there was airport but it told me that there is no hardware, which btw works fine under win7.

so, did i correctly install the kext?

i already re-set up my lion because last time i just opened kext utility - it found loads of kexts - and afterwards the system got fragile and frooze all the time.
 
after some research i now used kext wizard and repaired S/L/E.
then i installed the kext from above with the kext wizard, but after a reboot, the result is still - no hardware found.

y is that? in the very beginning, directly after i used multi beast with my mobo's dsdt i draged the kext on kext utility and rebooted. then the wireless connection worked, i also tried to go online with safari, and i suceeded a little, because after 10sec the os froze and i rebooted. since then lion did not find any wirless hardware anymore.

what else could i try?
