  1. 1. Description of WiFi problem

WiFi card does not appear, and according to IOReg, still lists its original compatibility field, after applying SSDT patch with Clover.

 

  1. 2. OS X version/motherboard model/BIOS version/processor/graphics

10.9.5 13F18 / MSI Z77A-GD65 / is this really necessary? / Core i5 3570K / Radeon R9 270X

 

  1. 3. Procedure/Guide Used

Your SSDT guide. Opened 43xx patch, edited the RP04 to RP05, the PCI root ID that contains my card.

  1. 4. Copy of IOReg/IORegistryExplorer_v2.1.zip (View Raw)

http://cl.ly/3T2y3N1L0S1g

 

  1. Console/All Messages/kernel airport - select/Save Selection As:

 

Not sure what this means, as there is no "kernel airport" selection under All Messages, nor anything else. My kernel log is filling up with mdworker messages about Import: Bad path:, which is unrelated to this.

Broadcomm ssdt (bcm43xx) does not support Atheros (ar928x) WiFi.  Try airport_ssdt-ami7&8-ar928x_v1.

compatible = <"pci1a3b,2123", "pci14e4,43b1", "pciclass,028000", "ARPT">

 

IOName = "pci14e4,43b1"

My mistake, your IOReg from 6/6/14 opened.  The 8/21/14 IOReg shows device-Id 4312, labeled as Dell Wireless 1395; 4312 is not supported.  Contact the seller.  DPCIManager/PCI shows device ids.

 

The ssdt injects the 4360 ids.  4352 device_id is 43a0, not present.  The Dell 4352 is labeled as Dell Wireless 1550.

And yet it works just fine if I edit the 4360 kext plist to add the device ID 43b1 in the same place as 43a0. The only side effect is that it also seems to activate the 43224 kext, causing a kernel panic unless I remove it from my system on each system update.

 

Are you sure this device isn't supported somehow? Or that perhaps Clover is messing with its device description?

Missed the Clover injection.

config.plist/DSDT/Fixes/FixAirport_4000/YES.  All Fixes are enabled.  May want to disable all fixes.

in your #1 Post, you mentioned that the card is supported but (injection required)

 

Broadcom

Broadcom Device_IDs (Vendor_ID: 14e4)

    Supported Device_IDs (injection required)

          4353 - BCM943224 HMS 2.4/5 GHz abgn, 2 Stream, 300 Mbs

i tried the DSDT injection & Toledo.kext injection and both of them don't work !

 

so what Method do you mean ?

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

Clover knows about MacBookAir 5,2,  enough to specify in the config:

post-332888-0-02746300-1408882424_thumb.png

 

 

If you do not want to rename the model, you need a patch driver AirPortBrcm4360.kext

For details, see the post #1

On newer versions of the system OS X 10.10 DP, I have not tested it. If does not work, I can redo it. Taste it ...

 

 

i tried it and it gives me Kernel Panic, i also tried patching kexts using clover and it gives kernel panic too :(

Boot in Verbose mode. Show photos of panic...

 

 

 

P.S.

Name: AirPortBrcm4360

Find: 74 73 BE 02

Replace: DE 73 BE 02

 

I tested it now on 10.10 DP6 + BCM943224HMS.

Patch works successfully.

weird that's the same card !

 

i only applied this patch and rebooted

sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x74\x73\xBE\x02|\xDE\x73\xBE\x02|g' /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcm4360.kext/Contents/MacOS/AirPortBrcm4360


sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

this is the kernel panic

Try the first method:

ProductName=MacBookAir5,2 and the original driver IO80211Family.kext

 

Will panic in this case?

  2. yosemite DP 4 (but already tried with other betas), z77-quo-aos with last osmosis, i7 3770k and nvidia gtx 770, bcm4352 with adapter
  3. i modified the info.plist of AirPortBrcm4360 kext adding <string>pci14e4,43b1</string>, then modified with hexedit for the 5ghz fix

Not sure what the problem is and dp4 is obsolete. Suggest installing dp6 and reply with new Problem Report.

hi, thx for reply, updating to dp6 and changing to imac14.2 seems to solve the problem, now bluetooth and wifi work, i also use your mod with hexflend in order to fix 5ghz. The only problem is that i cannot make handoff and airdrop to work. I've linked the Hackintosh with my iphone with latest iOS8 beta with bluetooth, but after click on the phone from OS X it disconnect immediately. Instead if i click to connect from the iphone, it says that the hackintosh is not supported

@ yehia Amer, Please try JUST following the instructions inside the .DSL file, and insert the code to your DSDT. Is a vanilla TEST from injection only.

attachicon.gifWifi_Broadcom4353-43a0_DTGP.dsl.zip

I hope this helps. Good Luck.

attachicon.gifCaptura de pantalla 2014-08-25 a la(s) 08.54.12.png

it didn't work :(

 

Try the first method:

ProductName=MacBookAir5,2 and the original driver IO80211Family.kext

 

Will panic in this case?

it works great with "ProductName=MacBookAir5,2" thanks alot

but i think this will cause performance issues !!!

Problem Report - Any help is greatly appreciated. 

1. WiFi only works on 2.4ghz. Very weak signal, transmit rate will not go over 54 Tx Rate, usually much lower. (10.9.4 using the MB setup from the other site which shall not be named and with the Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2 install works great)

2. Mac OS X Ver: 10.10 DP6, Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97N-Wifi, CPU: Intel i7-4790k, GPU: MSI GTX 760, WiFi: AzureWave AW-CE123H

3. Installed OS X via TonyMac Clover Guide. Installed WiFi via Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2 Guide.

4-7. See Zip file.
