I've been trying and trying to get my Belkin f5d7001 wifi card with the Broadcom 4306 chip working in os x Lion. It worked fine with Snow Leopard but would not work with Lion natively. I know many have had this problem. The vendor id is 14e4 and the device id is 4320.

I got it working through modifying some previously modified kexts, and I want to share this fix to anyone with this card.

 

Anyway, here's the guide.

 

1) Download the zip through the attachment or follow this link: Broadcom 4306

 

2) Extract and use the kext utility to install the kexts to system/library/extensions.

 

3) Rebuild caches

 

4) Add "max_valid_dma_addr=1024" to the boot.plist.

 

5) Reboot

 

Wifi should work now!

 

Please post your results!
