Some Broadcom Mini-PCIe WIFI Devices Unsupported in macOS Sierra

Good find! No edited kexts or patches in Clover config ?

Yeah, well almost...Airdrop, Continuity and the likes work but Handoff seems broken even though everything seems enabled...

Logged out of iCloud on all devices, relogged, turned handoff off and on again, doesn't seem to work even though everything seems to check out....:/

CAT diagnostics output, everything checks out:

I have a BCM943602CS card+adapter and it never worked either on Sierra or Windows. In Windows it refuses to accept Bootcamp drivers, and MAcOS doesnt even bother using it. I am at my wit's end at this point, as I tried a few other options already and I waited long months for this junk to arrive from China. Can you please help me and tell me which damn card actually works? The one I have is supposed to work OOB, what am I doing wrong?

No idea (no information on your procedures). I had no issue with BCM94360HMB using FakePCIID.kext+FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext (for Airport Extreme branding).

I have the same problem with my BCM943602CS. It worked perfectly under 10.11.6. And it worked for one or two days unter 10.12.1. I have no Idea what I did, but since of today, I can't activate my wifi anymore (bluetooth still working). It is recognized in the system specifications:
en2:
Kartentyp: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x111)
Firmware-Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.21.171.47.1a8)

Can I check if I have a wrong kext in S/L/E? (or anywhere else?)

Thanks for your help.

Did you get this working?
 
Still not working. :thumbdown

I've got your same card and it actually never worked for me. I didn't test it under El Cap, so probably I might have missed my only opportunity to have it up and running. Of course here messages like yours or mine go completely ignored, because no one actually knows what is going on, and 90% of forum banter is as useless and dispersive as it gets.
 
Hi!

I installed Sierra on my laptop, work fine but Wi-Fi no. Wi-Fi card: Broadcom BCM43227. Anyone know something for make work this or must buy another compatible?

Thanks.
 
BCM94352Z

m.2 card still works fine (WLAN & Bluetooth, kexts and Patches needed to make it working)
For some reason my Bluetooth works but not the wifi.
