Seems, HP has 'locked' the wifi through its bios and there is no way one can bypass this. :(

Also, one cannot upgrade to 'any' wifi card 'cause only wifi cards whitelisted by HP's bios will be recognized. So no swapping cards. :angry:
Hoi, Have you tried de-whitelisting the BIOS with Icelord's mod? It's current with F.15 BIOS.

Is is possible to rebrand other Broadcom chipsets aswell, such as BCM4313 with PCI ID 14e4:4727 to match Airport? Or does this only work with WMP300N's BCM4329?

Thanks!

It really works! Now my Linksys WMP300N (rev 01) recognized as AirPort Extreme, Supported PHY Modes: 802.11 b/g/n

NOTE: If you get nothing after the 'sudo cat $SSB_SPROM > ssb_sprom_copy' command, just try to plug the PCI card to   another PC. Didn't work with G41 motherboard + Ubuntu 10.10 but it did work with X58 mobo + Ubuntu 9.04 boot CD.

Big thanks to BuildSmart & chrand for this guide.

broadcom released a completely FOSS wireless driver for BCM4313, BCM43224, BCM43225 chipsets.
Named "brcm80211"

Can we use this driver to rebrand those cards

My machine:

Acer One ZG5 AOA 150-1754 1Gb RAM 160Gb HDD.
First changed the useless Atheros AR5BXB63 that came from factory to a Dell DW1390 (Broadcom 4311 chipset) that cost 9 USD on ebay.

It was working perfectly on a start-from-zero install of Snow Leopard 10.6, later updated to 10.6.7
Everything was working perfectly, but I wanted an "real" Airport, so I tried the procedure.

Now it appears as a real Airport, still works perfectly, both in Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and Windows 7 (in Windows 7 it was automatically detected and sees all networks WPA2, WEP, etc...)

I'm happy and greateful to all that made this possible. Thanks!!! =)

Worked for me on my BCM4322 using Ubuntu 11.04! It's a DW1510 I bought of ebay for $14. However, AirDrop doesn't work after rebranding as I expected. =\

i'm searching to get my card (broadcom bcm94321mc) recognized as airport extreme in system profiler instead of third-party wireless. i'm searching to do this via dsdt injection without rebrand or flash the card. anyone can help me?
what section i have to modify and which code i have to add in dsdt?

thanks in advance

the ids are wrong.. get the ids from a real apple

Broadcom Corporation BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4328] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Apple Computer Inc. Device [106b:0088]

search this page for 106b .. the 4328 or 4e is likely your best bet.

i used 8B instead of 88 works fine in bcm94321mcg p3 hp

@LatinMcG,

I bought a broadcom wifi card (Dell 1505) for my friend's laptop. it has the same device id, (C, and IONAME, pci14e4,4328, with the one in the real mac. But still, it doesn't work. OS X detects the device as I can see it in IORegistery but no airport.

Do I have to rebrand it? I thought that rebranding was only for activating N speed? May be the problem lies somewhere else. Any ideas?

likely pin 20 or OSID in dsdt.
subvendor 106b helps

im about to rebrand my bcm94321mcp1 p3 .. ill let u know.

EDIT: success i had the error ssb_sprom not a directory..
apparently this bcm94321mcg p3 hp shows up in 2 bridges. so u have to use a command to specify which.

http://linuxwireless...43#relatedtools

says if u see more than one pci address line then u have to specify which.. command is in there.

SSB_SPROM=$(find /sys/devices -name ssb_sprom | grep 04:00.0)

change the 04 to whatever your lspci says then.. mine was 0b:00.0
now it flashed and works with N FCC US


the wireless 1505 worked fine for me before. so i believe it could be smbios.plist . try macbook5,1 ( Not Pro) or macboookpro6,1
for some reason if i use macbookpro4,1 or 3,1 i have no wifi in 10.6.8 and dsdt needs Device (PCI0) _UID . replace _ADR with _UID (dell laptops with 10.6.8 issues)

Hi I built a DIY wireless card. Bought this BCM94322 card from ebay and rebranded it.

BCM Card:
http://cgi.ebay.com/...c#ht_500wt_1204

PCI-E card:
http://cgi.ebay.com/...#ht_2434wt_1187

Well, I got everything working, but it seems like the range of my wireless card is very limited. It only picks up my wireless network which is literally 4 feet away from the desktop and also one other surrounding network of a neighbor. It doesn't even see the free wireless network that my apt building offers. My macbook air at the same location picks up close to 11 networks and so does every other computer in my house including my cheap $10 tenda wireless stick.

Any reason for such limited wireless range for this setup? I have both antennas connected and installed on the back....The antenna plugs clicked onto the BCM94322 card...I tugged to make sure they were secure and they are.....Is this the result of just an crappy PCI-mini to PCI-E card or something else that I can fix?

Also I don't think this should make a difference but if it does I can change it. Instead of secure the BCM94322 card to the PCI-E card with screws (I didn't have any that fit) I just secured it down with plastic ties....I wouldn't think having screw there would make any difference, but if it does please let me know. thanks.

I tried the code in that page but nothing changes. In system profiler I still get third-party card
maybe there is something missing but I don't know what.
seems that the system ignores the code  I added in dsdt

sometimes the antenna wires can be shorted (touching eachother) in the conector crimp. might need new wire to back of lcd. ( happened to me)
or youre using wrong subvendor id
