[Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch (10.11)

[RehabMan]

Here are my problem reporting files.
It successfully boot to OSX but shows no WIFI hardware installed.

You just need to boot fresh, rebuild cache right away ("sudo kextcache -i /"), then reboot.
Clover can only patch a kext that is in cache, so you have to kick start it this way...

Hi RehabMan, I can only get BT working on my HP Probook 440 G3 after the install procedure, so I guess the hardware isn't compatible, and am considering an alternative WiFi card. For my HP Probook 440 G3 is there a whitelist on BIOS？And is BCM94352Z the one I should buy?
(I read your post at https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/bcm94352hmb-for-probook-440.193135/, but I still want to be sure before I pay for it. )
And thanks for your help and your guide.

Compatible WiFi/BT is covered in post #1.
Your laptop has no whitelist.

Thanks, and after I replace the WiFi card do I need to rebuild the cache? And how do I do that? Exactly like what I did for audio?

Hi I've a Probook 4540s with i5, Intel HD 4000 and AMD Radeon HD 7560m
Where can I find the SSDT files for it? I saw there are only for 4530s, maybe i am wrong. It's my first time.

Rebuilding cache is clearly shown in post #1.

I see. Thanks for your patience.

To finalize this 6460b as a Hackbook Pro, I went on eBay and purchased the only WiFi chipset known to pass the BIOS whitelist AND be OS X compatible. The major point is that I now have WiFi, and I now no longer have to tether my iPhone or use an Ethernet-to-wifi bridge to connect. The downside is that download speeds are about 30% - 50% slower with the new wifi card compared to Windows with the old wifi. The old adapter was an Intel Centrino Advanced-N (model no 6205, I think.) Is it just that Broadcom cards are inferior to Intel? For $7 I probably shouldn't complain, but it annoys me to have to accept a downgrade.

EDIT: Never mind...just took some time for Steam to get up to speed. I'm topping out at my max Internet speed (a little over 60mbps, just like the old wifi adapter.) I haven't conducted any remotely scientific tests with the new adapter, just looking at Steam/internet download speeds.

I put the HP branded BCM943224HMS in my 8460p and it seems plenty fast to me.
