3rd Party Drivers – OSx86
This is a list of known 3rd party, independently developed drivers for OSx86 which aren't shipped with the Standard OSx86 Installation DVD. So feel free to add your own tested and working drivers.
If you don't find a driver for your device, you may also try to patch an existing kernel extension to add support for your device.
