[Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2

[toleda]

is the card just incompatible with the BIOS

If the BIOS has WiFi whitelist and the 4352 is not in the whitelist; no go.

problem where a BCM94352HMB prevents an Asus motherboard from booting?

Have 2, both Asus motherboards; no, likely defective.
1. Native Asus 4352
2. Azurewave CE123H

Sweet, mine is also the CE123H. I'll order a new one and see how it goes.

No luck so far with BIOS settings. However since the card works in my Windows and Linux install, doesn't that mean the 4352 is in the whitelist or that the MOBO just doesn't have a whitelist?

works in my Windows and Linux

Not a whitelist issue.

Hi Forum,
this is my first post here.
First of all, thanks for all your hard work and your effort you put into our beloved hackintosh’s.
This is my second build and my only issue I have, is with WIFI and Bluetooth.

I have tried / read so many different attempts, but none of them is working.
I would really appreciate any help that could help me.

1. Description of wireless problem
WIFI / Bluetooth not detected / working in OS X (windows10 is working native).
I’ve replaced the WIFI m.2 card on my ASUS z170i Pro Gaming, as described here:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/bcm94352z-installed-on-asus-z170i-pro-gaming-wifi-and-bt.191274/

My m.2 card is now:
Broadcom bcm94352z DW1560
My device is on pci 14e4 43b1

2. OS X version / Motherboard / BIOS Version / Processor / Graphics
OS X Version: 10.12.3
Mainboard: ASUS z170i Pro Gaming
BIOS Version: 2002 x64
Processor: Intel Core i5 6600K
Graphics: EVGA Geforce 980

3. Procedure / Guide used
https://github.com/toleda/wireless_half-mini

Airport Injection Methods/Enable WiFi (10.12/10.11/10.10 - all versions, select one method, note: 94352, 5 GHz patch required, see below)

1. kext enabler, see FakePCIID (10.12 working, use 2016-1115 or newer)
   1. All supported WiFi cards (includes 94352)
   2. README FakePCIID -- RehabMan
   3. Download FakePCIID -- RehabMan
   4. Install (2016-1115 or newer):
      1. FakePCIID.kext
      2. FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext

And I tried some KextsToPatch (2. in github README Injection Methods):
kext edit/Info.plist, see [Guide] airport-pcie-hm-plist-edits .pdf above

1. 94352, see config-bcm94352-120.plist
   1. 10.11-BCM94352-0x43b114e4-Info.plist-bpresles
   2. Paste patch to config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KextsToPatch

I've attached all the requested files for problem reporting.
Thank you very much!

Using AzureWave-CE123H, and I am currently stuck on Step 2/BT4LE. I am on El Capitan currently, and installed BrcmPatchRam2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext, and I am not getting any Bluetooth. Enabling WiFi was very straightforward and easy. IOReg attached.

Toleda and/or RehabMan, have either of you come across a problem where a BCM94352HMB prevents an Asus motherboard from booting? My computer works fine without the card in, but the CPU_LED stays solid red when the card is in. It triggered Asus anti-surge on my friend's skylake board, leading me to believe that there is some power issue with the card.

I don't want to get too off topic here, I was just figured with how many different people you have both helped that you may have encountered a similar issue that my google-fu has missed. I am thinking of buying a new BCM94352HMB but I don't want to pull the trigger if its possible that its just a compatibility problem. Asus doesn't whitelist cards on their desktop boards do they?

Thanks to both of you for all the help you've provided over the years!

Your card is not broken. I had the exact same problem. If you are using a mini pci-e card to desktop pcie-e adapter, there are two pins that handle disabling either Bluetooth or wifi. The adapter does not properly handle these pins and shorts the mobo. This can be fixed by taping 2 pins. Attached to this post is a picture with arrows pointing to the two pins you must tape. Sorry I didn't see this earlier, hope you haven't bought another card yet.

Nothing attached.
