Hey all!
I've been struggling with installing this WiFi+BT combo card in my laptop Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series. So far Sierra seems to be working okay. It originally came with an Intel WiFi+BT combo I had to replace with this one and so far I've spent around two full days trying to get it working with no avail
I've attached an IOReg report here as I've read in the forum with the requested IOReg app version (I know, there's some other stuff missing such as CPU power management, Intel driver and so on (which I would gladly appreciate some insights!)). It seems that while it is detected, the firmware does not get updated (for some unknown reason). I've checked that the repo kext has a matching .zhx file in it and while it does seem to partially load (BT is detected but I haven't tested it yet), I need WiFi and I'm not getting it .
I've also attached a screen capture of the message I get regarding the card. For installation, I've put FakePCIID.kext, FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext, BrcmFirmwareData.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext in /S/L/E using the latest Kext Utility app.
Any ideas are welcome and greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
