[Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2

[the-darkvoid]

rishighan,

Your bluetooth is fine, the device is supported by BrcmPatchRAM and the firmware is updated.
(Unless you rebooted from Windows into OS X).

Please provide your network card vendor and device ID, its not visible on the screenshots.
You can use DPCI manager.

Hi,
How do I edit the hex values for the 5GHz channels on 10.10.2. I have a BCM94352HMB

Through Clover or on-disk? Also what is the current country code your card is displaying?

Darkness512,

Both your config.plist files are invalid plist files.
Additionally it seems you have switched almost every Clover fix on, something which is rarely needed.

Its best to base your config.plist for Clover on one of Rehabman's default examples.

the-darkvoid,

I've tried Rehabman's default config.plist and ended up with a distorted green screen. Tried different configurations based on my old config but still couldn't get rid of it. So I got back to my old config.plist.

Using plutil I saw that there was indeed a error in my config.plist. I fixed this but the wifi problem remains. The kext just doesn't load.

Thanks darkvoid.
I am using 10.10.2 and I don't have any other OS installed.

I am using Clover to load bcrmPatch.kext and bcm4352.kext
Then applying the patches in Kernel and Kext Patches in config.plist (screenshot attached)
DPCIManager screenshot shows the vendor and device IDs.

Wi-Fi is working! But not how I want sadly.

I came across the Continuity Activation Tool, looked into its source code and saw that there were patches which might be relevant to my situation.
I tried to apply the tool on my laptop, but it wasn't working.
Normally this tool is used for activating Continuity - hence the name - and requires a combination of Wi-Fi and BT4.0.
So the script itself was complaining about not having bluetooth, luckily there's an option to force this tool.
Now my Wi-Fi is working, but my installation is not vanilla anymore. I want to put every patch, kext, et cetera in my bootloader, which is not the case right now. Now I know this should be possible using Clovers' KextsToPatch-method. But I have no idea where to start right now. Someone here that had the same problem or could help me?

rishighan,

Remove bcm4352.kext and install FakePCIID for BCM94352.
(FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_BCM94352Z_as_BCM94360CS2.kext)

Also modify your 5Ghz patch to:

Find: E8 51 0E 00 00 85 C0 74
Replace: 66 C7 06 55 53 90 90 EB

Use BrcmPatchRAM for Bluetooth.
Additionally you can see what patches the script does and convert them into Clover patches.

Oh sorry, I don't think I was clear enough. My apologizes.
I have a Broadcom BCM43229HMS, which doesn't have bluetooth. I don't care about bluetooth at the moment.
I'll take a look at the scripts and see what they do and the patched kexts and compare them with the originals, thanks for the tip!

See Post #1, Clover/.../KextsToPatch noted.
