My laptop has a Broadcom BCM4313 WiFi card.

It's a lenovo G580

I bought (well, I thought I bought) an Atheros AR5B95 (which is listed under my BIOS whitelist) But the guy sent me a AR5B95-H!!!!

Are there any Kexts for the 4313 that I missed?

Thanks!

I'm so mad that I ended buying this http://www.ebay.com/itm/EDUP-Mini-W...r-Dongle-Network-Card-Invisible-/220928040243

Now I have to wait 15-30 days for this thing to ship from China...

How do you know that AR5B95 is listed under your BIOS?

Broadcom 4313 is not supported by OS X. Better replace it with something compatible, based on the following chips:

Broadcom 4322 (Dell Wireless 1510, 2x2 dual band 300 Mbps)
Atheros 9280 (Dell Wireless 1515, 2x2 dual band 300 Mbps)
Atheros 9285 (1x1 single band 150 Mbps, often in combo with Bluetooth)

This EDUP adaptor should work, since it's Realtek-based and there are drivers for it on their site. Additionally, you may look here for more info about the USB WiFi adaptors, which are compatible with OS X.
