HP 840 G1 not seeing BCM943224HMS WiFi

[atomicplayer]

Does anyone know what wifi card works best in a 840 g1? I tried a Hp BCM943224HMS, but it's not being detected. Running 10.10.5 and the latest HP installer.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

According to your bootlog (extracted from ioreg), you're using a WiFi whitelist patch:

0:104  0:000  KextToPatch 2: AirPortBrcm4360 (Broadcom 43224 whitelist) Kext bin patch, data len: 20

Also, according to ioreg, you're using MacBookAir5,2.

Whitelist patch is not needed with MacBookAir5,2 and, in fact, is counter productive.

Remove whitelist patch or change to intended SMBIOS (as intended by the whitelist patch you're using).

If PBI-CE gave you MacBookAir5,2 and the whitelist patch, it is a bug in PBI-CE.

how do I remove a whitelist patch?

how do I remove a whitelist patch?

Edit config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KextsToPatch section. The patch is clearly identified with the Comment.

More info in the Clover wiki: http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Home

(good idea to become familiar with the software you're using).

Always use a plist editor, never a text editor to edit your config.plist.

Now I can see it, but wifi says off and clicking turn on doesn't do anything

Use the button on your keyboard deck (or wherever the WiFi power toggle is on this laptop).

If you selected HP 8x0 G1 in PBI CE, it will create a config.plist with MacBookPro 11,1. MacbookAir 5,2 is SMBIOS for 9470m only, they are for IvyBridge model not Haswell!

I believe you changed SMBIOS after running PBI CE!

Also the patch from PBI CE is generated to suit the current SMBIOS, so even if PBI CE generated the MBA 5,2 SMBIOS, the patch generated will not do anything because find and replace are the same.

findsmbios=$(printf "Mac-2E6FAB96566FE58C" | base64)
    patchsmbios=$(printf "$boardprod" | base64)

Evidence suggests the OP changed the SMBIOS after running PBI-CE. Evidence: non-working WiFi, due to (patched) WiFi whitelist.
