[Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hej there, I have had some guidance by wildwillow already - thanks again.
The native wifi/bluetooth card installed on the Asus Z170 is a Broadcom BCM94360HMB and WiFi works out of the box at 2.4GHz. I have followed the Guide, but somehow Bluetooth is still not finding any Devices.

Here's what I did:
1) Installed FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext to L/E
-> Do I have to edit Devices/Fake ID, also? And if so, what do I have to fill in?
2) Used wireless_bcm94352-110-v4.0c.command and Option 3: Handoff/BCM94352/Country Code
3) Installed BrcmPatchRAM to L/E
4) Used wireless_bcm94352-110-v4.0c.command again, this time Option 1: Handoff
-> Really needed?
5) Used wireless_bcm94352-110-v4.0c.command and Option 3: Handoff/BCM94352/Country Code
-> Again really needed?

Maybe someone could help me?

so, I, too, have a BCM94360CD card. The thing was recognized the instant I plugged it in. I bought it from osx wifi, I just went ahead and bought the prebuilt one to save myself some time. however, while it was natively recognized and continuity/handoff and airdrop work, the speed is abysmal. I'm maxing out on 1mbps with it on osx. On linux and windows, it gets at least 20mbps (which is my home connection speed on an average day), as does ethernet.

Everything about it works, but under osx it's slow as hell. Anyone else have this problem, and if so, were they able to fix it?

Antenna installation problem?

Are you using a 5ghz patch? Did you apply the correct one for your region?

Did you disable "Wake on network access" in SysPrefs->Energy Saver?
(to avoid slow speeds after wake from sleep)
 
One question. I'm looking for wifi+bt card to work OOB.
And it writes:
BCM94360CD/BCM9331CD native Airport (WiFi) and BT4LE (PCIe 1x, not HM)

  1. 4331 - 10.10 Whitelist
Click to expand...
But what does that mean? not HM?
Whitelist is probably only for laptop?

I will be using this card with pcie adapter in stationary pc. I'm looking to buy this "BCM94331CD Dual-band 2.4&5G 450M BT4.0 4Antennas Wireless Network Card BT4.0 for Mac rival BCM94360CD".

Or better choose some other card (which are more expensive, this one is 27eur+tax)?

edit: not HM = Half Mini :)
