The Clemson instructions are very good and step by step.  Take a few minutes
to read over all of it to get an idea of what you're in for, because it's
very detailed.  There are several steps you need to do before you can simply
check for the detection of the card.

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/detail_desc.aspx?Product

Also provides updated source for a driver and the latest Intel firmware.  I
found both of these links to be useful when trying to get an Intel card to
work.

It can indeed be done, although it is not trivial to do.
