The Mac OS only includes drivers for the hardware that can be found in a real Mac. That is all they need to support. The Hackintosh recommended hardware list includes components have a lot of chips that are found in a real Mac.

If you have any hardware that is not in a real Mac ( i.e. your wireless N adapter), you need to find a Linux driver for it and install it manually. This can require knowledge of using the Linux command line. Learning the Linux command line is harder than learning DOS.
