[avggymrat]

Hello,i got an Acer aspire 3 315-23 r4kb running macOS Sonoma 14.0 and it has qca 9377 wifi but there is no available kext for wifi so i wanted to buy a natively supported wifi card,is there anyone using this card on macOS Sonoma 14.0 or newer ? ,the reason i choose this card is because i have found it for so cheap and it has both wifi and bluetooth but there are some problems though ,first off what adapter should i buy for this apple card (i will attach the cards),next question is that apple one has 3 antena connections and mine has 2 how do i get around it ? and lastly is it possible that i can use the apple card in upcoming versions of macOS ?

All Broadcom cards lost support in Sonoma.

You can lower security levels and patch. It's a lot of hoops to jump through.

It would make more sense to buy a card designed for a laptop than a desktop WIfi/BT card.
Then no adapter or wires are needed. Besides, the desktop BCM card may not even fit in your laptop.
If you want full support go with Ventura instead of Sonoma. Then the card works without needing to
use OCLP and lower security settings.

The one mostly used in Laptops is the BCM94360NG.

May find a lower price on Ebay if your budget is limited.
