Not open for further replies.
Your motherboard is either M.2 NGFF (different NGFF sizes exist) or PCIe half-mini.

It cannot be both at the same time. So make sure you know exactly what your motherboard needs before you make a purchase.

So Mine is PCIe Half Mini
I search for

PCIe Half Mini
802.11 ac (fast Connection about/above 867Mbps)
Dualband (2,4 And 5 GHz)
Clover UEFI Dualboot
Mac OSX Yosemite (native) And Windows 8.1 64Bit compatibility
it can but dont need to have Bluetooth
 
I search for

PCIe Half Mini
802.11 ac (fast Connection about/above 867Mbps)
Mac OSX Yosemite (native)


Native 802.11ac PCIe Half Mini - only Broadcom BCM94360HMB (AzureWave AW-CB160H)
Chipset bcm4360, up 1300 Mbps

Broadcom BCM94360HMB used in ASUS X99 Deluxe motherboard...


P.S.
Warning! Antenna connector on BCM94360HMB - MHF4, as PCI-E M.2 (NGFF)...

Mine has 2 Antenna Connectors and not three
will it work?
And where can i buy it
I live in Germany (Europe)

Or which other card is good but not natively working
Is the Lite-On WCBN606BH (Lenovo FRU 03T7135) working natively?
If not, where can I find drivers and Installation guides for Mac And windows?

It should be 100% like AzureWave AW-CE123H and Dell Wireless 1550
Broadcom BCM4352 BCM94352HMB
Wifi+BT
Mini PCI-E
802.11 abg/n + ac + Bluetooth 4.0
2.4+5Ghz
867 Mbps
 
Besides the earlier engineering CS1 samples of the BCM94352Z which look like this:

102539d1408884856-guide-dell-xps-9530-bcm94352z.jpg
Shown installed in a Dell XPS 9530 replacing the Intel AC-7260.

Two new BCM94352Z based NGFF card products have now appeared:


  • Foxconn T77H543.00 (Found in Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro)
  • Lite-On WCBN802B

Hopefully this will increase the availability of the card.
 
What steps do i need to do in order to get this card to work on
Clover UEFI Mac OSX Yosemite and Windows 8.1 64bit dualboot
Is there any step by step guide?

What is the vendor/device-id? After you determine that (DPCIManager->PCI List), read post #1.

In fact I have ordered it but it is not here
it will arrive in the next few days

How do I get the vendor/device-id?
 
So first I need the vendor/device-id
then what do i do with it?
next this all?

It is covered in post #1. Cross that bridge when you come to it (eg. when you have the hardware installed).
