[Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2

[omarquez]

Hi,

I tried the following:

• Generic USB 3.0 from Multibeast (Original Setup)
• GenericUSBXCHI from http://sourceforge.net/projects/genericusbxhci/files/?source=navbar version 1.2.7 , same as installed by MultiBeast
• Generic USB3.0 from RehabMan (Oct-2014) https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Generic-USB3
• Removing altogether GenericUSBXHCI from S/L/E
• BIOS: Disable USB Legacy support

None of it worked, there is anything else that I can do ?
thx,
Om

sudo cat /var/log/system.log | grep -i brcm[fp]

That should show us what BrcmPatchRAM is loading into your device.

Why are there some failure and two versions loading?
And why is Version 0.6a loading when i have 0.7

There are no failures in the log extract you posted, thats a successful upload.
Also your system profile image shows a correct result.

And the log says v0.6a because I forgot to update the version in the log output .

sorry the failures where from earlier boots just saw it too late
How can I check if Bluetooth works correctly if I only have an iPhone 5S iOS 8.1.2 to connect?
AirDrop does not work
Handoff does not work
Sending an Image does not work
Connecting to my iPhone does not work

I made ​​a binary patch for the activation of a range of 5GHz on Broadcom BCM94352HMB.

File Name: AirPortBrcm4360
Find bytes: 01 58 54
Replace bytes: 01 58 58

For terminal:

sudo perl -pi -e 's|x01x58x54|x01x58x58|g' /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcm4360.kext/Contents/MacOS/AirPortBrcm4360

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions/

Wait 30 sec, Restart, Use...


This patch is tested on my Broadcom BCM94352HMB from Lenovo FRU# 03T7135, 20200381.

Before patch:

After patch:

Module AzureWave AW-CE123H need verification.
Test and tell someone about the results...

UPDATE:
Confirmed 5 GHz working: AzureWave AW-CE123H and other BCM94352HMB.

Hi, 5GHz Fix on my BCM94352HMB works, but now I can't connect to my wifi router because it is in 13th channel and my wlan card now supports only 1-11 channels in 2,4GHz mode. So what can I do do fix it?

Apply the Continuity patch and ensure that hand-over checkbox is listed in system preferences.

Check the other threads on this.

Anything else that can be done about the Azurewave Mini card USB issue reported on #818?

thx,
Om

You have USB issues. You need to resolve those first for the Bluetooth to start working.
