Genuine Apple BCM943224PCIEBT card: no WiFi

Hi everyone!

 

So I just reinstalled Catalina on my E7270, (I had to use the SSD drive for a different system), and I'm having a strange problem with my WiFi. I'm using a genuine Apple Airport card, BCM943224PCIEBT2. When I boot from a USB, using Jake Lo's clover for Catalina, the WiFi starts with no problem. However, when I boot from the hard drive, the WiFi is greyed out our keeps trying to connect, but never does.

 

I've tried fiddling with my kext's in Clover, removing the following:

 

AirportBrcmFixup.kext

BrcmPatchRAM2.kext

BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext

BrcmFirmwareData.kext

FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext

 

As I believe that they are unnecessary for a genuine Apple device, but then my WiFi disappears completely. I'm attaching my Clover from my SDD and boot drive, along with a screen shot from system information.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

Broadcom BCM43224 14e4:4353 is subject to whitelisting:

 

And, very obviously, those DW1820A-related injected properties do not apply to your Apple card so remove them. It's always essential to pay attention to full computer's hardware specs, especially when re-using someone else's config files...
