Not Recongizing BCM94322

I think I made it correctly. It hasnt frozen for since yesterday and I used it for 2-3 hours after it froze and it was fine.

Also, just to make sure, the DPCI manager said my card is the bcm43224 and the instructions you gave me were for the bcm943224, I dont know if you are aware of that or if there even is a difference.

Your card - Broadcom BCM943224HMS.

BCM943224HMS in OS X 10.10 work natively, only used model MacBookAir5,1 and MacBookAir5,2.

You use the model iMac14,1 - you need to patch the whitelist.

I tried to do that but I have no idea what Im doing. Theres no IO80211 text in my extensions and when I tried to put it in it just froze. Is there anyway to just change my system definiation to macbook air?

FakePCIID is loading, but not the WiFi drivers for your device. Make sure they are vanilla and no other WiFi solutions are installed.

If your SMBIOS is not on the whitelist, make sure you apply the whitelist patch.

FakePCIID is used to take care of Airport branding.

But yes, this is likely a whitelist issue or problem with damaged native WiFi kexts...

I tested my BCM94224HMS and FakePCIID. It does not work...

Test 1.
BCM94224HMS, OS X 10.10.3, model=MacBookAir5,2.
Wi-Fi work natively.

Test 2.
BCM94224HMS, OS X 10.10.3, model=MacBookAir5,2 + FakePCIID
Wi-Fi work natively. Airport branding - not working.

Test 3.
BCM94224HMS, OS X 10.10.3, model=MacBookPro8,1 + FakePCIID

FakePCIID does not take care of whitelist, SMBIOS whitelist patch still needed for non-whitelist SMBIOS. Make sure you have no config.plist hotpatch for Airport branding -- it will conflict with what FakePCIID is doing.
