[solved] Kext for BCM4352

[RehabMan]

Hello,
I also got a Broadcom BCM94352Z card for my Asus desktop computer. I have followed this thread and
Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2. working on Sierra 10.12.5

what I have done:
1. four kexts are in place
ls -l /System/Library/Extensions/
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 11 Jun 08:00 BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 11 Jun 08:00 BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 11 Jun 07:55 FakePCIID.kext
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 11 Jun 07:55 FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext

2. add 'fcvo' patch to config.plist using plistedit pro

3. after reboot, clear cache
$ sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

KernelCache ID: 505A7F3DB354C93B309E6D76CA0CF535

neither wifi nor BT works.
my Broadcom BCM94352Z works fine on windows 10. But on MacOS's System Information, I cannot find my wifi or bluetooth device. It seems like wifi card is not detected by Sierra? I don't understand IOREG which is attached below.

another questions is should I change the country code in fcvo patch? I didn't find the default one 55 53 (US).

Thanks in advance for any help.

WiFi:
- set config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/Debug=true so you can see if the fcvo patch is applying
- keep in mind you must reboot after rebuilding cache as Clover can only patch a kext in cache
- typically, name is set to "com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360"

Bluetooth:
- no bluetooth controller on the USB bus
- USB configuration problem
- see guide:

Thank you for your help, RehabMan.
I set set config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/Debug=true,
set the name of fcvo patch to "com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360",
clear cache and reboot.
I attached the screenshots of starting up. It seems like fcvo patch does not apply and AppleAHCIport is not patched.
I need to at least make the wifi work first. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Well, I'm not going to download all those images to find the one that is applicable to the problem...
If you're finding Clover is not applying the patch, maybe it is a problem in the version of Clover you have chosen to install...

BCM4332 not supported (text of post), but BCM4352 (title of thread) is.

BCM94352 requirements:
- FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Fake-PCI-ID. Install with Kext Wizard to /S/L/E.
- BrcmPatchRAM: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM. Read the README carefully.
- 5Ghz patch for WiFi documented here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html
- handoff patch for bluetooth documented here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html

I've got BCM4352
I've done this

- FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Fake-PCI-ID. Install with Kext Wizard to /S/L/E.
- BrcmPatchRAM: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM. Read the README carefully.

BrcmPatchRAM2 + BrcmFirmwareRepo
Added to /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist

<dict>
                    <key>Comment</key>

But there is no device in Wi-Fi section
Clover zip + ioreg zip + kextcache terminal command attached
What should I do?

The Name you have in that patch is wrong. Look at the bundleid in the kext's Info.plist and you'll see that it doesn't match.

You mean CFBundleIdentifier - com.no-one.BrcmPatchRAM2?

 

[RehabMan]

No.
Look at the Info.plist for AirPortBrcm4360.kext.
In Terminal, with Xcode or PlistEdit Pro installed:

open /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcm4360.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Then look at the bundle identifier.
You will find: com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360

Which, of course, the "Name" you're using in your KextsToPatch entry does not match...

 

[bananaslover]

com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360

So I changed Name in KextsToPatch to this. Shut down. But still no device.
