sometimes the antenna wires can be shorted in the conector crimp. might need new wire to back of lcd. ( happened to me)
or youre using wrong subvendor id
Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Apple Computer Inc. Device [106b:008d] yours says 8E . whats the device id ? 432b also ?

Thanks LatinMcG. My Device id is 432b per systeminfo app. My card is BCM94322MC...I guess I was told by someone else on TonymacOSx that for this card the subvendor ID is 8E. What is the difference between 8E and 8D. Where can I find the apple subvendor ID for a particular card? If I were to shorten the connector wires...how would I put the connector back on there? Thanks for the help.

Also someone on another forum told me this might be due to crappy antenna's that come with the PCI-E card. I took antenna's from my router and replaced the PCI-E antenna's with them and then I could see a whole lot more networks so that might be the big chunk of the problem.

it should have worked. (EDIT if it was atheros. apparently bcm reads direct rom and dsdt is ignored.. registers in dsdt should work)
rebrand it and flash bios whitelist removed.

And what if i'm getting such error on the last step? What am i doing wrong?
'cp: writing `/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.5/0000:08:00.0/ssb_sprom': Operation not supported'

I had the same erro

I had to run this command

rmmod b43

and than do the copy…

cp: writing `/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:0c:00.0/ssb_sprom': Operation not supported

Known issue.... http://linuxwireless...ers/Drivers/b43

Go to terminal and check the linux kernel,  type "uname -a"

IMPORTANT: The 2.6.32 kernel will throw the following error message and refuse to write the SPROM:

Just use a newer or older kernel. Ubuntu 9 uses this kernel. Since you probably are using a livecd just download a ubuntu 10 or 11.

[teme]

when i type git clone git://git.bu3sch.de/b43-tools.git into the terminal

fatal: Unable to look up git.bu3sch.de (port 9418) (Name or service not known)

[deckert]

Here is a git repository that should work for you - git://git.bues.ch/b43-tools.git

[Markrtoon]

I keep getting an error.

Corrupt input data (crc:0x58, expected:0x00)

This is after I enter the

ssb-sprom -i ssb_sprom_copy

Anybody got any ideas? And thanks.

Also I've got my wireless card up and running in Ubuntu, and I'm using it to down the files. Could that be the reason for my troubles?

[LatinMcG]

look in lspci to see if it shows it in 2 bridges if it does u have to use adition to the command for it with |grep and the bus number

Hi
I've managed to rebrand one Dell Wireless 1510 with this tuttorial. Now I want to change the Product ID (I don't mean SubProduct ID) too. There is a register in the eeprom, named ppid (PCI Product ID), but it contains a different value. Even if I change it, the Product ID remains 0x432b. Is there any way to change this ID?

Something new about BCM4313 (id 4727) ?

nope .. still unsupported due to chip not being compatible.

[toleda]

Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe mother board with Broadcom BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359]

What is the probability of success for enabling Airport in Lion on this wifi card with rebranding?

[plsh2me]

Is that possible to rebranding a totally unknown card by Mac OS X, BCM 4313 [14e4:4727]/Dell DW1501?
If it is possible, which device ID & vendor ID should be preferable for this on this command  - "ssb-sprom -i ssb_sprom_copy –-subv 0×106b –-subp 0×0087 -o new_ssb_sprom_copy" ?
Suggestion please..........

Does it matter which product id you choose?  I chose 0x008b since that was the closest to my card from the link below, table at end of page.

http://www.osxlatitu...irport-extreme/

PCI Card WMP300N
BCM4321 Rev 1 a/b/n
14e4:4329

I could not get this to work the first time because I put the ven/id in the wrong plist.  I added the id to the plist inside the kext 4331 instead of the 43224 by mistake.

Thanks for the fantastic guide, I can confirm that it works great in Mountain Lion!!

Hi, in order to make my "dell dw1520 broadcom bcm4322 wireless agn half mini card + mini Pci-e wireless adapter" to work in my mountain lion hackintosh as an native airport, I installed Latest Ubuntu 12.10 Beta.

Here the card does get recognized and I can access my network.. though firefox doesnt want to show anything... When trying to access google it just say at the bottom: Transferring data from www.google.com...


So I opened Terminal, and started following instructions from this thread.

- sudo apt-get update  <-- workd! But it took over 3 hours!! (though at the end I got lots of:  W: Failed to fetch...  Some url + connection failed [ip..]

then when tried the next lines: install build essential, curl or git-core... i always get the follow:  package XXX is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.


So... What now?? :S

I've been a windows user for yeeeaars (since 3.1 or .11) and for a year ago, looking how the 8 was going to be, I got converted to Mac Os X (hackintosh). So no Linux experience or programming of any sort beside som websesign



Any help would be great.
