Install Dell DW1820A (Broadcom BCM94350ZAE)...

[maclode1950]

So it's quite difficult to find real DW1820 0VW3T3 card right ?
Is the real one compatible with Mojave ?

brcmfx-driver=1

But now the system boot fine everytime , I see the device in PCI but on the system not recognise

hmm, seem the waitq patch for 10.14 changed in 10.14.3 (and potentially 10.14.2), my method is done and probably working fine, I'll have to test on 10.13.6 and see what comes from it. Lenovo stopped blacklisting T400 series hardware about 2 years ago. Im running the latest bios, you can always...

But the problem is , the wifi works , not the bluethoot and when I reboot I have one kernel panic...

I attach the debug log but i rollback, I don't like the kernel panic so often

DW 1820A CN-0VW3T3 working perfectly on my ASUS UX410UN laptop with 10.14.6.
I did NOT use old IO80211Family.kext from Yosemite.
Only a simple clover patch for wifi and rehabman kexts for bluetooth.
Be careful patch is device specific!You should check your ioreg and adjust device path accordingly.

It seems I found a stable solution resembling the methods mentioned, but using the original IO80211Family kext.
I have the DW1820A with the 14e4,43a3.
These are the steps:
- copy to desktop and then remove the kext from /S/L/E
- show package contents, remove the kexts from the Plugin folder that are not for 4360
- then edit the Info.plist for 4360 and add the 43a3 string, similar to the others that are there
- copy that prepared kext to /L/E
- also add Lilu.kext and AirportBrcmFixup.kext
- edit AirportBrcmFixup.kext Info.plist to have the 4360 one match the 43a3 too (not sure why, but without this the kext doesn't load)
- fix permissions by running from Terminal:
sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Extensions/*.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/Extensions/*.kext
sudo touch /Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -i /

This is similar to using the old kext, but with the original.
I get no kernel panics, no CPU peeks and hangs (which I had with other methods), just seen an occasional drop of the wifi connection.

I have 2.4 and 5ghz working as well as bluetooth.
I hope this helps anyone.

UPDATE: unfortunately after some time I got CPU usage up again (kernel_task), it just took longer. no success with any method.
I would still avoid this card.

Use this kext in C/K/O, remove all other kext from L/E and S/L/E, remove all entries used from .plist, reboot and delete NVRAM with "F11" Clover screen. If module is genuine should work, tested myself.

Hi there,

i use an DW 1820 0VW3T3-75772-61J-1F8I-A00 0x43a3 and 0x0023 have disconnect and some freezes...
Any way to fix it? I think generally the card should have the 0x0021 subsytemID or not?

Updated to Macos 10.15(Catalina) from 10.14.6 and WiFi+Bluetooth both are working fine after updating the required kexts. I first installed my DW1820A(14e4:43a3)☑ on Mojave 10.14.5 and followed midi1996's guide and thanks to him the device is still working fine after installing two software updates.
