HP DV5-1110el and BCM94312MCG

[quicksilver9]

Hello guys!
I'm trying to bring my old laptop to new life.
I used it in the past with leopard, snow leopard and lion: all peripherals worked like a charm.
The greatest problem was with the wifi: i fixed it with a script called bcm43xx_enabler.sh

Now I installed yosemite: everything works except the card reader and the wifi.
What can I do for enabling the wireless lan? The model is BCM94312MCG.

Thank you in advance!

BCM94312MCG is not supported on Yosemite. Last version of OS X to support it was 10.6.x.

I'm absolute sure that I used it with 10.7!

Have you an idea for a wifi card for this laptop?

You probably used drivers from 10.6. Fat chance of that working in Yosemite.
