I bought the WiFi M.2 card (14e4:43a3) mentioned in the title thinking it would work well with OS X based on toleda's guide (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/broadcom-wifi-bluetooth-guide.242423/). I have been trying to get it to work for a couple hours now but couldn't. Maybe you guys have a solution.
The problem is the following: When I log into my account my hack becomes unusably slow, I can't do anything basically. Once I managed to open the activity monitor and it showed me that "airportd" is taking up all of the CPU. At this point the bar in the upper screen and the dock are loading very slow. When I disconnect the M.2 Wifi+BT card everything works as usual.
What have I tried:
- FakePCIID Broadcom by RehabMan + FakePCIID + Kernel Patches as suggested in method 1 of toleda's guide. Although I'm a bit overwhelmed by the amount of patches
- BrcmPatchRAM by RehabMan (installing BrcmPatchRam2 with the BrcmFirmwareRepo only, adding BrcmNonPatchRam2 kext in another try). also not using this completely for the other methods
- AirportBrcmFixup + FakePCIID + FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext as suggested in method 3 in toleda's guide
- always rebuilding kext cache with "sudo kextcache -i /" before restarting
Additional Note: The macOS installer doesn't boot using this Wifi Card. It hangs on the apple logo just before you reach the installer. Removing the Wifi card will successfully boot the installer.
EFI dump attached. Thanks in advance.
