Wifi PCI-e

[dpunx]

Hi!

I'm searching a cheap PCI-e card OOB for yosemite. (On Asrock motherboards dont work the miniPCI-e Broadcomm bcm94360cd)

And I read that Atheros has conflict with Handoff BT (I've a USB dongle compatible with BT 4.0 "patched")

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

If Asrock motherboards work with BCM94331CD you can use this $27 card: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=36116048895
It is a/b/g/n Wi-Fi card with Handoff capable Bluetooth 4.0 LE and it can be used in any PCI-E 2.0/3.0 slot.

Is it Apple BCM94360CD?
Is adapter installed in PCI-E x1 slot?
Which part of the card doesn't work Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?

Yes, on x1 and try on a x16. No way.

BT works but wifi not detected. (in mac, windows 8 and linux)

It may be bed Card or bed adapter.
I do not see any reason why Apple BCM94360CD would not work on Asrock motherboards with proper adapter.
Do other Asrock users confirm that Apple BCM94360CD doesn't work with Asrock motherboards???

Try removing that apple wifi card from the adapter and putting it back, i find some of those cards come slightly lose due to the slot being wrong size for it.

Some sellers say "not compatible with asrock" but I ask others that say that's work. (osxwifi say that work on Asrock and is the same card) :/

If some user can say something... (mine is z87 xtreme 3)

PD.: I speak with Asrock service and say... ei bro! this card is for mac! (xD) but must be work on x1 pci-e.

Some adapters refuse to work on some motherboards even in x1 slot.

Check up on these two wdxxfu studio adapters. So far they have been reported fully compatible with any tested motherboard. They can be used in any PCI-E slot.
