dpw95 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm happy to report that installing via the non USB 3.0 port got me to the finish line (for installation, anyway). The bridge to now cross is to get networking up and running. The guide I've been referencing since the start of this thread suggests replacing the wifi card with a wifi+bluetooth card (model BCM43225HMB). For those assisting on this thread, do you suggest the same, or have a different card in mind that I should pursue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpw95 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 An update to my last post. I came upon Hervé's thread below, which has some compatible cards listed to try out: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/ I may need to track down where to find "BCM5722D.kext" to get Ethernet working, so I'll dig into that next.

Administrators Hervé Posted November 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2015 BCM5722D is available in all D630/D830 packs posted on the forum or in the bootpacks repository. There are several versions which work differently in 64bit-only OS X versions, so make sure to use the latest version available. Look at my D630 El Capitan thread in the R&D section for instance.

dpw95 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 I used a BCM5722D file from one of Jake's responses on another thread, and Ethernet worked right away. I'm now just waiting for a replacement WiFi & Bluetooth card to deliver to take a run at wireless connectivity. I should have an update this Tuesday on that effort.
