Configured correctly

Signal is too low, verify antennas.

For more details, hold the Option key down and select WiFI in the menu bar.

Report signal, noise, channel, tx channel, phy mode, etc.

 

I have a feeling it's because this card has 3 antenna leads but my laptop only has 2 antennas available on it. Windows seems to handle it just fine with 2 antennas but OS X must be depending on all 3.

hi there, after a quick look, i think i'll order a bunch of BCM943224. what's the max speed it can reach?

 

i've had hackintosh with broadcom bought from ebay years ago and it was not too great as i recall..

 

with my realtek usb dongle, i'm usually running at ~300ko/s max while real speed's up to ~2mo/s..

 

PS: this is mostly for thinkpads unit, do you think i'll need kexts?

Sure.  However, the list doesn't include the required initvals data due to large data sizes.  I think you can compare the patched and the original binary to find out the differences...

Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about...  All I know is if the on-the-fly patching would work, I'd have used it instead of patching the binary.

 

If you'd like to know how I patched the binary, I could help you with that.  I used the reverse engineering tool called Hopper and the source code provided on the following website.

 


 

The required initvals data for AR9485 NEVER existed in the original AirportAtheros40 so I had to edit them manually.  Check the following links and you will know what I meant.

 


 


 

In addition to those initvals data, I had to make other modifications to make it work for AR9485.

 

For example:


============================================ _ath_hal_probe


83 FA 29 0F 87 B3 00 00 00  => orignal value

83 FA 29 0F 87 29 01 00 00  => modified value

Patching this cards is a very hard job. You don't need to explain what you did unless u feel like

i'll add your card id on my topic

I have this card: 14e4          Broadcom Corporation 4353 BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n

 
With the instructions in post 1, I got it to work just fine in 10.12.4, but wifi disconnects and reconnects every 20 seconds or so. I ran the diagnostics and I see these errors:
 
Fri Apr 14 21:08:13.214 <kernel> AirPort_Brcm43xx::syncPowerState: WWEN[disabled]
Fri Apr 14 21:08:13.214 <kernel> AirPort_Brcm4360::getSSIDData(): Get failure: APPLE80211_IOC_SSID: 6
Fri Apr 14 21:08:13.214 <airportd[70]> _handleLinkEvent: Got an error trying to query WiFi for power. Resetting state variables.
Fri Apr 14 21:08:13.395 <kernel> IO80211Interface::updateReport _peerManager is missing
Fri Apr 14 21:08:13.458 <airportd[70]> _bsd_80211_event_callback: Failed to get power setting from device : err -3900
Fri Apr 14 21:08:13.458 
Fri Apr 14 21:08:13.837 <kernel> Unexpected payload found for message 9, dataLen 0
Fri Apr 14 21:08:14.399 <kernel> IO80211Interface::updateReport _peerManager is missing
 
It looks like there is a power management issue. My laptop is on AC and set to never sleep.
 
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?
 
Thanks.
 
Note that post 1 has an inversion in the white list descriptions, it should read:
 
0x4353
  1. Binary Patch: AirPortBrcm4360
    1. Find (MacBoolAir5,2): Mac-2E6FAB96566FE58C or
    2. 4d 61 63 2d 32 45 36 46 41 42 39 36 35 36 36 46 45 35 38 43
    3. Replace (ex., iMac14,2): Mac-C6EFA63962FC6EA0 or
    4. 4d 61 63 2d 43 36 45 46 41 36 33 39 36 32 46 43 36 45 41 30

Fixed, thanks.

Why are you using the Whitelist?

Antennas?

 

I realized I didn't need to, I just defined my machine as MacBook Air5,2 and no other change needed.

 

I found the solution to my problem from post #22 in http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/319901-broadcom-bcm943224hms/?p=2344550

I have a Dell 6320 and I had to disable bluetooth in the BIOS (not just the switch as the post seems to imply from google translation, I don't speak Italian). No problem with wifi ever since.

Hi,

 

I bought this motherboard Asus Z270i Strix Gming that mounts this wifi model QCNFA364A

I think that it is not compatible, right?

I wanted to know what wifi + bt to buy that is compatible with this socket (m2 key E)

Hello Toleda

Hi magnifico,

 

I don't have a WiFi wake problem with either BCM4352 or CE123H in Sierra.

If convenient, see Post #1/Problem Reporting; attach all requested files.

hi toleda 

1) I use kext to patch 

 

 

 

<dict>

<key>Comment</key>

<string>AirPortBrcm4360 - fcvo</string>

<key>Disabled</key>

<false/>

<key>Find</key>

<data>

gflSqgAAdSk=

</data>

<key>Name</key>

<string>AirPortBrcm4360</string>

<key>Replace</key>

<data>

gflSqgAAZpA=

</data>

 

</dict>

 

 

 Wi fi is located in RP04 from  IoRegister ..and i used also SSDT..but not work ( I mean wi fi does not work , trusted me) 

My problem has become very boring, I repeat when it goes to sleep, after it takes a lot of time to reactivate the wi fi, about 30 40 seconds, where am I mistaken ??

 

Now i'm using racer kexts, 

  1. FakePCIID.kext
  2. FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext (includes 94352)

 of course, but with ssdt it does not work wi fi, i obviously have the problem of the losing time to reactivate

Your ioreg indicates FakePCIID.kext and/or FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext is not installed.

After installing the kexts... No need to inject "compatible" (remove the SSDT).

yes of course ,I'm doing tests with wi fi injected into fake.smc, that is why do not you see your kext, clear racer?

Advice remains the same.

Remove the SSDT. Install FakePCIID kexts.

 

Your problem likely has to do with country code setting/patch...
