[Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2

stevenhe · Aug 25, 2017

I have a BCM94532Z. I'm running into the issue that my wifi is visible, but I can't enable it (nothing happens when clicking turn on) and Bluetooth is just missing altogether.

I tried pretty much every method and patch I could find, but my current setup is:

Kext: FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext, FakePCIID.kext, BrcmPatchRAM2.kext, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext in /L/E (also tried /S/L/E and EFI other)
fcvo patch in config.plist (see attachment)

I'm pretty much out of things to try, and hope somebody can help. I attached all files requested in post #1, except for Airport console logs as there were none.

Sorry for asking such a stupid question. My computer already have a wifi card but I can't unscrew its only bolt. Can I install the compatible wifi card at the remaining mini 1/2 PCI port? Thanks

Hi guys,

I bought a mini PCI WiFi card compatible (BMC943224 HMS) for HP EliteBook 8560p with OSX Sierra 10.12.6 installed. I used the repo of Rebhan (https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch) to enable features and make it works.
I'm trying to make WiFi works but I haven't be capable to do it. My best approach is using FakePCIID method and whitelist patch on Clover, the card appears be correctly detected, appears WiFi interface on network settings, is identified by DPCIManager. But when I try to enable WiFi it doesn't works.

I'm a little confused about what I'm doing bad, Is any configuration else that I forgot or any mistake I made?.

Thanks.
