[Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2

[navaira]

You are a man of few words, Mr Toleda However suggestions 2+3 helped greatly, I used Pref Setter and now I have 5 Ghz. Thank you! Still no bluetooth though.

I attach my config.plist. Kexts added in S/L/E:

bcm4352.kext (version 3.2.0-toledaARPT)
BrcmBluetoothinjectir.kext (version 1.7.3)
BrcmPatchRAM.kext (version 1.7) <- just added it now to see if it makes any difference, but it doesn't
FakePCIID.kext (version 1.2.0)
FakePCIID_BCM94352_as_BCM94360CS2.kext (version 1.2.0)
FakeSMC.kext

Menu bar icon says "Bluetooth: not available", there's no Bluetooth pane in System Prefs. Gear as listed under my avi, Azurewave AW-CE123H 802.11ac/nbg WiFi+BT Broadcom BCM4352 card.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help and patience

Done. Unfortunately still no Bluetooth.

Which BT device do you have (vendor/device-id)?

Are you certain you installed the kext correctly (eg. Kext Wizard + rootless=0).

Post ioreg if you need help.

The night is dark and full of errors when I try to use the handoff patch:

So, no dice for me so far... (the patch gives the same output regardless of rootless=0 being in boot args or not).

I've never used those patches... Always using Clover hotpatches.

But modifying system files like that on 10.11 requires rootless=0.

Thanks for helping me

BCM20702A0:


Product ID: 0x3404
Vendor ID: 0x13d3 (AzureWave Technologies, Inc.)

(interesting that this shows up in USB as it's an internal card)

I installed the kexts with Kext Wizard and rootless=0. Interesting (?) -- Kext Wizard tells me that FakePCIID, BrcmPatchRAM, Brcm4360, BTFirmwareUploaded are loaded, but not BrcmBluetoothinjector and FakePCIID_BCM94352_as_BCM94360CS2.kext.

The handoff patch generates the same errors with and without rootless=0.

I attach my ioreg generated by IORegistryExplorer so I used the plist patch, but I don't see any changes (possibly because Bluetooth is just not detected).

BrcmPatchRAM and BrcmBluetoothInjector are mutually exclusive. BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext is only used with 10.11. Do not install BrcmPatchRAM.kext on 10.11. Do not install BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext on <10.11.

Injector kexts don't show in kextstat/Kext Wizard outputs.

It's a miracle!! I removed BrcmPatchRAM.kext, repaired permissions/rebuilt cache, restarted with rootless=0 and my bluetooth works! (What's weird is that I tried it before without BrcmPatchRAM.kext and it didn't work.)

Thanks so much! You guys are wizards.

Yes! You can edit the whitelist to enable other SMBIOS values.

Do this on your own risk! I am not responsible for a non working system. It should work without any issues but make backups before doing it!

Tools needed:
1. Hex editor (I suggest 0xHD)
2. Kext installer (like Kext Wizard)

Guide:
1. Get your Board-ID (e.g. from SMBIOS section in Clover, SMBIOS.plist or extract it from NVRAM)
2. Copy IO80211Family.kext to desktop
3. Right click it (on desktop) and select "Show package contents"
4. Go to Contents->Plugins->AirPortBrcm4360.kext
5. Right click it (on desktop) and select "Show package contents"
6. Go to Contents->Mac OS->AirPortBrcm4360
7. Open it in hex editor
8. Search (ASCI not hex) for Mac-2E6FAB96566FE58C
9. Replace it with your Board-ID (Be sure to not add or remove ANY characters!)
10. Save it
11. Install the modified IO80211Family.kext (make a Backup of the vanilla one!)
12. Repair permissions and rebuild kext cache
13. Reboot

Voila! Now you can use it with other SMBIOS values!

Any idea how to do it with Clover Configurator?

This line already exists for AirPortBrcm4360.kext in Clover Conf / Will the same values work replacing AirPortBrcm4360 by IO80211Family?

Thx
