ssprod Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Greetings.. HP 8470P i5 3360 CPU Radeon HD 7650M GPU I've managed to get almost everything running well with the exception of WIFI. Purchased a Broadcom 43224 card, as I've used this with another 8470P w/iNtel GPU.. however it's not working in this system. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks.

ssprod Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thanks Jake, still no positive results. Incidentally, the intel wifi card that I replaced had 3 leads connected to it 1-3. I'm presently connecting 1+2 to the Broadcom card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 5, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hmm Broadcom 43224 is just DW1520. You just need FakePCIID.kext + FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext If stil not working, then add Lilu.kext + AirportBrcmFixup.kext All can go in /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssprod Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Thanks again. I've re-installed High Sierra and still no change. The card is recognized in DPCI, but not showing up in OSX at all. These are my kexts currently in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other. Update: I reversed the leads on the wifi card, and it's working now with these kexts. I'd be glad to post my EFI, however I seem to be limited to under 2megs for upload. Thanks Jake !
