Broadcom wifi driver in macOS/OS X has changed in every release since Yosemite.Except for AR9285/AR9280, Atheros WiFi not recommended by this guide.
This guide recommends Broadcom for applicable laptops as per post #1.
10.11.x(AirPortBrcm4360)
10.12.x(AirPortBrcm4360)
10.13.x(AirPortBrcmNIC)
The very special wifi card only in MacBook Retina series is that BCM94350 which need special driver code I think. After 10.10.x(Yosemite), laptop installed with this card may working perfect, or meet some problem, including null pointer, zero divide, etc.
I've collected every panic file in another debug thread for BCM94350. And I suspect this is most related with PCI configuration space.
Now reading Linux Device Drivers third edition chapter 12, PCI Drivers for further background info.
