    Actually.. tested on ubuntu 10.x+12.x and CentOS .. get the same error on both.

     

    Would you mind:

     

    1. Send me (or attach) the version of the script you were using.. thinking the one you attached to the post might be corrupt

     

    2. What linux distro did you use ?

    The Perfect Mini PCIe WiFi and Bluetooth Combo card for Notebooks

    in The Archive

    Posted

    Hi, 
     
      As we know that some of you might have an unsupported WiFi and Bluetooth Combo in your notebooks and the only way to get the WiFi and Bluetooth working is by replacing it with a supported card. Here, we are going to present you the perfect WiFi and Bluetooth Combo which works very well in OSX.
     
    There are two three models which works:
    1. Atheros AR5B195 (Specifications)

    • AR9285 WiFi b/g/n (1x)
    • AR3011 Bluetooth 3.0

    2. Atheros AR5B197 (Specifications)

    • AR9287 WiFi b/g/n (2x)
    • AR3011 Bluetooth 3.0

    3. Broadcom BCM94352HMB (Specifications)

    • BCM4352 WiFi a/b/g/n/ac (2x)
    • BCM20702A1 Bluetooth 4.0
    • Research post: Link

     

    Known issues in Bluetooth:

    • Atheros AR3011 has some stability issues with Magic mouse

     

    WiFi:
    In order to get the WiFi working we need either DSDT (or) kext patch. Add the below DSDT method to the your WiFi device in DSDT (or) use the attached patch files/manual patch method to patch the WiFi Kext in SLE.
     
    Patching DSDT: 
    Needed:

    • DSDT Editor 
    • IORegistryExploere

    For this, you need to find where the wifi card is detected by Mac OSX which can be done by going through the ioregfile.

    •  First, look at the section "IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0" in ioregfile and find the device starting with the name "RPXX".
    •  Next, find your WiFi card  by looking at the name "AirPort_xxx" (if you have patched kext installed) (or) look at the device ids from the RPXX section.
    • After locating the device "RPXX", add the below method to that Device in your DSDT and install it.

    Note:This is located mostly at one of those Devices of the DSDT: RP01/RP02/RP03/RP04/RP05/RP06/RP07/RP08 (some notebooks might have this name differently, so find and confirm it from ioregfile using the above steps).
     
    Atheros AR5B195 and AR5B197 WiFi DSDT Patch:

    Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
 {
   Store (Package (0x0C)
   {
    "AAPL,slot-name", 
    Buffer (0x05)
    {
      "PCIe"
    }, 
    "name", 
    "pci168c,2a", 
    "device-id", 
     Unicode ("*"), 
    "IOName", 
    "pci168c,2a", 
    "device_type", 
     Buffer (0x11)
     {
          "Wi-Fi Controller"
     }, 
     "model", 
     Buffer (0x34)
     {
           "Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n Wireless Network Adapter"
     }
     }, Local0)
   DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
   Return (Local0)
}

     
    Broadcom BCM94352HMB WiFi dsdt patch:

    Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
 Store (Package (0x0C)
 {
    "AAPL,slot-name", 
    Buffer (0x05)
    {
    "PCIe"
    }, 
    "name",      
     Buffer (0x0D)
     {

          "Wi-Fi Controller"
     }, 
    "model", 
    Buffer (0x33)
    {
          "Broadcom BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter"
    }
  }, Local0)
  DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
  Return (Local0)
}

    Patching Kext:
    For this, we need to inject our card's ids to the Apple WiFi Kext. You can use the attached script to patch (or) can manually patch using the below steps.
     

    Manual patch:
    For Atheros AR5B195 and AR5B197, we need to patch the kext "AirPortAtheros40.kext" located at System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/".
     
    For Broadcom BCM94352HMB, we need to patch the kext "AirPortBrcm4360.kext" located at System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/".

     
    Copy the kext to Desktop and Open the file "Info.plist" using text editor located inside the kext we are patching and add the bolded line below to the section "IOKitPersonalities->IONameMatch" as shown below.
     

    Atheros WiFi:
    IONameMatch

    pci168c,30
    pci168c,2a
    pci168c,2b
    pci168c,2e
    pci106b,0086
    pci168c,1c
    pci168c,23
    pci168c,24

     

    Broadcom WiFi:

    IONameMatch
    pci14e4,43b1
    pci14e4,43a0
     

    After editing, save the file.

     BCM4352 5Ghz Fix:

    You can use the attached BCM4352 WiFi 5Ghz Patch script to patch (or) use the manual patch explained below.

    If you use script then you need to fix permissions and caches after running the script.(Optional)

     

    1. Download the app hexfiend

    2. Copy the kext "IO80211Family.kext" from System/Library/Extensions to Desktop

    3. Copy the file "AirPortBrcm4360" from "IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcm4360.kext/Contents/MacOS/" to working folder

    4. Open the "AirPortBrcm4360" in hexfiend app

    5. Press Command + F to search

    6. Enter the following hex codes in Find and replace box

     

    Credits goes to SKVO (applelife.ru) Link to his post for this Country code fix discovery.

    Changing the Country code from XT to US:
Find box
01 58 54 00

Replace box
01 55 53 00

    Credits goes to EMlyDinesH for the below patches and scripts.

    Making the card to be detected as Apple card:
Patch 1:
Find box
30 6B 10 00 00 75

Replace box
30 6B 10 00 00 74

Patch 2:
Find box
6B 10 00 00 0F 85

Replace box
6B 10 00 00 0F 84

    7. Click on Replace All button to replace.

    8. Install the kext.

     

    Bluetooth:
    For bluetooth, you need to use the kext from here: Bluetooth Kext

     

     

     

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any doubts.

     

     

    Update: Updated the BCM4352 WiFi patch script with additional patch for the card to be detected as Apple.

    OK! SSD delivered. Now the funny part begins! :)

     

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction (Mountain Lion no go). On this occasion I would like to ask one more time for advice: which flavour of OS X?

     

    My goal: do it fairly quickly, save time by not solving impossible problems but just by getting things done.

     

    Which flavour should I use?

     

    http://www.macgeekblog.com/blog/archive/2009/02/15/osx86-live-dvd-ipc-x-dl-1056.html

     

    Here is a guide using this ditro: http://robaldred.co.uk/2009/06/dell-latitude-d430-osx86-install-guide-using-ipc-ppf5-final/

     

    Any suggestions? Please help... :)

     

    Dont use a flavour.. look in the menus .. there is guides.. right here.. that will give you vanilla installation.. your machine is one of the best supported for SL and Lion :)

    is there no body able to help me???

     

    I install EDP to the usb, the usb boots, installs, boot after reboot OS X DOESNT BOOT!

    i cant install edp, i cant install kexts, os x doesnt boot!

     

    WHAT TO DO? HOW DO I INSTALL THOSE KEXTS IN MY OS X INSTALLATION TO LET OS X BOOT???

    IM ALREADY WAITING TOO LONG!!

     

     

    Dude!!.. wtf.. how hard it is ?

     

    1. Install OSX using the guides

    2. Boot via your usb pen

    3. Download this: http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/download/

    4. Follow the instructions

     

    Done.

     

    If you spend more time on reading the guides that is less than 10cm away from your mouse cursor and spend less time complaining about people who do this out of kindness then maybe you would have been done by now - and if that isent good enough for you - then go buy a mac for f*** sake.
