GenoKiller Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So as you probably all know, when Apple released Mavericks they changed the wifi cards to only support the ones they had in the newer Mac models. Well I found a fix for this. REQUIREMENTS1. A CustoMac (or Hackintosh, whatever you prefer) running OSX Mavericks 10.92. A Broadcom 43XX series Wifi card with kext installed in /E/E3. This Download here4. Hidden folders enabled (how to is right here) www.discussions.apple.com/message/23522493#23522493 What to DO1. Extract the .zip file to the desktop2. Open the folder contents3. Copy airportd to /usr/libexec (Remember to backup the 10.9 one incase something goes wrong)4. Restart5. Go to the 10.7.3 folder and right click on the IO80211Family.kext6. Open it with the included Kext Utility7. Restart To get it working1. Click on System Preferences/Network2. Click on Assist Me3. Click on Diagnostics4. Click on Wifi and Continue5. Select your Wifi network and enter the code4. Done you can now click Quit and you should be connected NOTE: You will have to do this every single time you logout of your CustoMac Tested on Dell Latitude e6400 with Broadcom 4312 Wireless Card EDIT: This also works on 10.8 ( as said on the folder) Also you will have to replace the files again after updating. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Dude, you're a genius. It works perfectly and saved me the nightmare of having to find a card compatible with HP's whitelist Many thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokenguyen Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I installed your kext and wifi is not detected, There is no entry of 14e4,4315 (BCM4312) in 10.7.3 kexts. I have to install this http://www.osx86.net/files/file/549-bcm4312-wifi-fully-working-10-8-2/?st=10 and airportd from your package. It works now.

pauloedu Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 There is a fix coming for this card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashindnile Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hey. Does OSX 10.9.4 fix this like apple's description says? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this. I will download it if you give me a green signal. It seems to fit the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 2, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 2, 2014 BCM4312 works in vanilla Mav (i.e. vanilla airportd) with patched kexts (IO80211Family or BCM43xxx kexts) and with restrictions listed in thread about supported/unsupported wireless cards. In that respect, it's the same as with earlier OS X versions. No issues with network browsing or connecting to open/unencrypted networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
