Hello
I have HP dv4 3016tx laptop. I recently installed el capitan on it with triple booting. almost everything I need works except wifi. I am thinking of buying TL-WN725N but I have heard that PCI cards are better. This is my laptop's service manual. I see that following adapters are supported by my laptop.
  1. Atheros 9285G 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi Adapter
  2. Intel Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 802.11b/g/n 1x2 with WiDi support
  3. Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030 + Bluetooth® (802.11b/g/n)
  4. Ralink 5390BC8 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0+HS Combo Adapter
  5. Ralink 5390GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi Adapter
  6. Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n 1x1 WiFi and 2070 Bluetooth 2.1+EDR Combo Adapter
Is any of these supported by El Capitan hackintosh? Also, is TL-WN725N a good choice for a hackintosh?

Out of that list, only the AR9285 is supported by OS X.

I couldn't find any mention of working kext for AR9285 for El Capitan. Is it supported on El Capitan also?

Read the FAQ.

What about compatibility with MacOS Sierra when it is released?
