philip_petev said:Guys, look what I've found today:
This is info.plist from the AirPortBrcm4331.kext plugin. Looks very promising It seem that the BCM943224's ID (aka Dell Wireless 1520) is already supported by OSX, as well as BCM94322 (pci14e4,432b or Dell Wireless 1510) and in theory rebranded BCM943224 adaptor (ex. rebranded Dell Wireless 1520 with the HP's Subvendor/Subproduct IDs from the whitelist) should be recognized as native AirPort, right? Or I'm missing something?
I'm not sure how much room you've got in 4330S but in 4530S I can onfly fit half-size card. I tried to rebrand 14E4:4315 couple months ago without any luck. From what I'm reading it's only possible with full size mini PCIe.
BCM943224HMS could be nice solution for people wanting external Bluetooth dongle.
I already waiting for one and when it arrives I will confirm VID/PID numbers.
Here are HP part numbers for Broadcom BCM43224 half-size WiFi card:
Old PN:
518434-001 USA, CANADA
518434-002 Rest of the world
New PN:
582564-001 USA, CANADA
582564-002 Rest of the world
Disclaimer:
Cards need to be tested and confirmed working. I searched HP laptops for subsystems 103C:1509 103C:1510 and came up with above part numbers.
