Of course. I tried to boot to linux LIVE USB and wifi was working.

I've also tried wifi modul DW1510 from my another e6230 with Sierra and wifi was working so antenas should be Ok.

Btw i forgot that it's not el Capitan but Sierra instalation.

Is it a DW1502 or DW1702? What do tools such as DPCIManager or lspci -nn Terminal command show? A card based on Atheros AR9285 (168c,2b) works under OS X with the DSDT patch that declares it compatible with AR9380 168c,30 for instance.

 

The card is 2.4GHz only so it won't detect 5GHz networks by the way...

it looks like that wifi modul is broken somehow. I tried put it to another dell with windows and the symptoms are same.

I can install wifi driver but that's all, wifi manager can see anything :).

So the best solution will be to buy different modul DW1510 for instance.

be careful when ordering DW1510 from china i just received 2 in this week and they had a VOID sticker over it which i found suspicious. when i peeled it back it was an unsupported wifi card DW1397 instead. not worth my time to ship back.
