Hi,

I've found a good priced macbook air card online, but my BIOS only supports BCM4313 and the card is BCM4322. Has anyone had any success rebranding the card as a 4313 and then FakePCIIDing it to BCM4322?

No. Not unless you found a way to re flash the entire sprom on the card.
The rebranding I've seen and done with the Broadcom chips only allow you to change the subvendor and sub product IDs.
You would need to be able to change the product ID to be able to bypass the whitelist.

You could however pick up an atheros ar9285 card for around $15 and rebrand the vendor and product ID and subvendor and sub product ID to pass the bios whitelist check. Read the rebranding thread for atheros for more details.
