Aaron,
I am sorry for this inconvenience. As you mentioned, this is not a supported integration not only because of the hardware requirements but also the fact that is not in compliance with the FCC regulations.
Please note that Intel Wireless Adapters are meant to be professionally installed by Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technicians on certified systems only.

In this case we suggest you the use of Intel® Wireless adapters for desktop which are intended for the type of computer you have:
Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6205 for Desktop.
Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 2200 for Desktop.
