Dude, where is the actual bcm4352 kext? Just installed Sierra, no wifi/bluetooth support with old "bcm4352.kext"

Use FakePCIID.kext+FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext.
That will get the kext loading (but not starting).
Then you will need the fcvo patch by the-darkvoid. See here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/readme-common-some-unsolved-problems-in-10-12-sierra.202316/
That will get the kext starting (but no 5ghz).
Read post #1 to find/construct the correct 5ghz patch (it depends on your region).

I'm confuzed by the step options... With "Step 1", It says Select one Method, so does it mean there are 5 potential methods? For the other Steps, do i also choose one or do I all the parts?....

5 methods. (like anything like this, more than one way to do it).

I'm on Sierra, got the fcvo patch & both kexts installed. Unfortunately, the card still doesn't show up. It's an Asus PCE-AC56 which is, as per DPCIManager, based on the BCM4352. The device id is 14e4, 43b1. (I even tried adding that to the AirPortBrcm4360 kext). Did I miss a step?
