nice_memory Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi all, I could need a bit help on the above WLAN card. This is not a Lenovo issue, but as I´m on a T420, HD3000, 10.11.3 I thought it might fit here. I´m aware of the guide here: http://www.osxlatitude.com/rebranding-broadcom-802-11abgn-cards-as-airport-extreme/#respond Sadly some dependencies have gone dead it seems, so I´m getting nowhere. Could you please update the how-to or guide me through the procedure in another way? The B43-FWcutter is in the Ubuntu repository btw. It would like the BCM4322 to use all channels 1-13 and to be recognized as Airport Extreme. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 8, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2016 There is no Mavericks sub-folder in the dists folder, so... http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nice_memory Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thanks Hervé. So you would suggest to try a Ubuntu GNU/Linux flavor from 2013 or 2014? I´ll look around for one then, the archive you pointed to is fine, but it does not seem to cover the x86 iso´s or am I missing something? Lets hope the dependencies are not dead altogether.

Administrators Hervé Posted March 8, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2016 Absolutely no idea, I've never needed to rebrand any of my wireless cards. I tend to favour Atheros to Broadcom. Ask Jake, he's fond of the DW1510. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nice_memory Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Comrades, I´m afraid the whole process is broken. GNU/Linux repos are known for its frequent changes - hence all the compat patches. I tried with ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso but noway. Maybe someone is willing and able to create a tarball with all the old stuff... Here is where I got stuck: Guess I´ll have to use the BCM4322 as it is for now. I was only 5.20 $ (plus shipping) from China, so what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nice_memory Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Looks promising, thanks again! I´ll give it a go tomorrow. Edit: No dice, as too many dependencies are lost, it seems. The needed files are here apparently: https://github.com/mbuesch/b43-tools However its way above my head to re-brand my WLAN card without a step by step guide for dummies. Again, the DW 1510 is working as a WLAN card from a third party manufacturer so far. Thanks for caring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
