follow this guide to rebrand your broadcom wireless to Apple Airport Extreme

 

Thanks for the link. Will try to figure out when I have more free time.

 

BTW, after removing your sleepenablerkext, do you still have sleep working? To me, the sleep function is important.

I am keen on rebranding my card but just want to make sure a few things.

 

Have you tried to rebrand your card? I ask because your screenshot a couple of post showed that you have a third party card.

 

What's your original and new Subsystem product ID and Subsystem vendor ID? Can you attach your original and new ssb_sprom for reference?

 

Thanks!

 

BTW, do you have WL-138g V2 as well?

How important is HPET function? What does it do?

 

it allows you to load vanilla appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext for sleep and speedstep function....

you can use this as a guide

 

mine is a 0x14e4/0x4320 which is only b/g so i change the Subsystem to 0x106b, 0x004e

ie. ssb-sprom -i ssb_sprom_copy --subv 0x106b --subp 0x004e -o new_ssb_sprom_copy

 

after that it will show up as AirPort Extreme instead of third party wireless card

Do we still need dsdt mod after rebranding?

I have successfully rebranded my card to Airport Extreme. However, it is unable to discover networks in both Leopard and SL.

 

In Ubuntu, networks are discovered but no connection is possible.

 

I have tried --subv 0x106b --subp 0x004e, --subv 0x106b --subp 0x0087 and --subv 0x106b --subp 0x4318. I believe the correct one is --subv 0x106b --subp 0x4318 according to this page.

 

It works again if I flash the original ID's.

 

Any suggestion?
