Some Broadcom Mini-PCIe WIFI Devices Unsupported in macOS Sierra

[RehabMan]

Any Half-Height mini PCI-E cards that work for macOS Sierra and Windows 10 ? I have an HP Pavilion dv6-7030ee. My current Broadcom BCM94313HMGBL doesn't have a driver for Windows 10, so i'm getting weak signal on Windows 10, so i'm planning to change it.

Attached is my wifi card

So if i buy the BCM943225, it should work out of the box ? Didn't quite understand the guide (sorry)

It requires FakePCIID kexts and an SMBIOS that is already whitelisted or use of a SMBIOS whitelist patch.

Use Xcode to enter the hex data from my post. Or use copy/paste from one of the many config.plist files that already include the patch on my github.

I got it to work for the Wifi. Is there any update to the bluetooth on the card?

I have that card bought from that link.
In El Cap it worked OOB
But in Sierra it´s not working in my R4E.
Only Bluetooth is working

UPDATE
It is actually working.
I updated my system HD to a NVME Samsung SSD 950 PRO via PCIE adaptor
I had to change PCIE location for wifi as R4E is a little tricky when it comes to PCIE.
From Shilohh´s AsusX79Files.dmg
"The R4E’s 2nd and 3rd slots are considered “Slot 2a” and “Slot 2b” and cannot be used at the same time as they have identical addresses"

This combo card works OOB - the drawback is, it doesn't allow hack to sleep - usb causes instant wake. Unplug the cable and hack sleeps - searching for a fix.

Hello, after a few hours trying I make it work the BCM94532Z in macOS Sierra even with 5Ghz, well I asume you have already working the bluetooth, the steps are really simple:

1. You need to patch Clover with this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312759-fix-macos-sierra-dp1-bcm94532z-wifi/
2. You have to use FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext with FakePCIID.kext from FakePCIID from rehabman (I used in Clover kext folder and S/L/E and both works)
3. Reboot
4. Update Kext cache (Otherwise it doesn't work), I used Kext Utility.
5. Reboot again

Enjoy people!!!!

PS: Just in case I used Clover V 3761

I can confirm (as all the others on here) that this indeed works!!!

BCM94352Z

m.2 card still works fine (WLAN & Bluetooth, kexts and Patches needed to make it working)

Can you share wifi kext and patches ? my BCM4352HBM not working.

Strange. Are you signed into iCloud?

Yes I tried signing both out of iCloud and back in etc - worked perfectly on El Capitan out of the box!

I have a BCM 4352 half-mini BT, and it was not recognised by Sierra either. I read about an eventual patch but not sure how to execute it yet.
