Кто может сказать мне, если этот будет работать?
Translation:Can anyone tell me if this one will work?

The card is supported natively, but requires rebranding in order to be recognized as a real AirPort Extreme. Without it, it works as a Third Party Wireless Card and as such, works only with channels 1-11. You can find more information about that procedure here, the SubVebdor/SubProduct IDs you should use are at the end of the article:

BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01) Vendor: 0x106B / Product: 0×0093 Ok

Optionally, you can change your WiFi regional domain code during the procedure. In the following command:

ssb-sprom -i ssb_sprom_copy --subv --subp --regrev 0x0001 --ccode US -o new_ssb_sprom_copy

you can set your location via the --ccode parameter. It can be one of those (that's all WiFi regional codes, used by Apple, scroll down the page for the Broadcom codes) or directly your country code, according to ISO-3166.

EDIT: Is that Dell Wireless 1520 on the picture? Something's wrong here, the sheet says BCM94322HMS, but on the picture is Dell Wireless 1520 and that card uses BCM943224 chipset, not BCM94322HMS. My post goes only for Dell Wireless 1510 (BCM94322HB8L/BCM94322HMS), Dell Wireless 1520 can't be rebranded at all (at least no one has done it so far). That card however should work too (supported in 10.8.5+), but requires kext injector like the one in the ProBook Installer (ProBookARPT.kext) and works as a Third Party Wireless Card.

If you still haven't ordered it, I would suggest you to find yourself a Dell Wireless 1510 card.
 
The Killer Wireless-AC 1525 is supported?
 
Is the broadcom bcm4311(not really, from a hp6715s) works on 10.11osx(el capitan)? I have now intel n7260 on a dell 7537 and its not working.

Or which is the best choice to buy one? I think about bcm94322hm8l
 
And which is the best choice? I want to buy bcm94322hm8l. Is it fully functional? Looking at the table from the first post, it is.

Best choice is BCM94352HMB.
 
And are there any differences between these 2? I only found 94322 in my country to buy.

There are differences. BCM94352HMB has 802.11ac and BT4LE.

Not sure about 94322 (but probably not ac, and might be BT3).
