Ramalama Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hi, i have a Problem, i've got everything working, except for the Intel 7260 ac wifi m.2 Card. The Problem is, i have an Asus UX301LA, This Notebook has only the NGFF (m.2) socket for the wifi Card!... I cant replace it, since there is no broadcomm wifi Cards for the m.2 socket... If anyone has any suggestions, im open to them 1. I would, if i could, replace them. 2. I dont think there are, but if there are any Drivers, will be nice too Cheers EDIT: Bluetooth 4.0 is working with this card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 17, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2013 Intel wireless cards are not used by Apple; never have been; so you'll never find a driver, they're not supported. You have to consider a replacement card (but is there a NGFF/M.2 model currently supported under OS X ?) or a USB alternative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramalama Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ok, thats what im looked for.. Seems there are at the moment no other Wifi adapters for the NGFF M.2 Port... Only the Intel 7260 Card... There is only BCM4352 or BCM4360, but its for the mPCIe 2.0 Port and not the M.2 NGFF Port. Here are some Pictures between this 2 Ports: http://www.hwtools.net/Accessory/INTEL-7260.html And here is a Picture of the BCM4352 Card (mPCIe 2.0): http://img.onant.com/201304/aigale-bcm4352/3.JPG And here is the BCM4360 from the MacBook: http://www.hardwareluxx.de/images/stories/galleries/reviews/2013/macbookair/ifixit-wlan.jpg I dont know which form factor this is on the Macbook, but it seems like M.2 NGFF in a longer version... This is my Mother Board: http://www.notebookcheck.com/fileadmin/Notebooks/Asus/Zenbook_Infinity/32_wlan.jpg http://www.notebookcheck.com/fileadmin/Notebooks/Asus/Zenbook_Infinity/29_lueft2.jpg So if the Macbook uses the same formfactor, i could replace my card. I dont think there is a bios/uefi wifi whitelist on my UX301. If there is any, i dont think its not that problem to add that card or disable the whitelist... But i don't know which formfactor that is... ------------------------------- 2. The other option is indeed a USB Wifi... http://www.dlink.com/de/de/home-solutions/connect/adapters/dwa-171-wireless-ac-dual-band-usb-adapter Found this one, its small and compatibel to Mac OS... But this should be a workaround solution... Only if there are no M.2 Wifi Cards avaible... ____________________________________________________ 3. I can fully recommend the Asus UX301 for a hackintosh! I got nearly all working, FN Keys, thanks to EMlyDinEsH, sleep fixed, usb 3.0 working, only Wifi and Touchpad left! Seems like the most things worked OOTB, i recommend to use smbios of the Macbook Pro 13 11,1! The UX301LA has the same Hardware as The MBP 13 Late 2013, only the difference in Wifi Chip and Touchpad! Im open for suggestions! Thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 20, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 20, 2013 BCM4360 is mini PCIe, not NGFF/M.2 format (yet?). I don't know if any NFGG/M.2 card exists that is supported under OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 21, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 21, 2013 apple is using a different connector on some of the newer machines for wifi. but i do not know what form factor the new plug is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
