SgtArky Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Does apple have mini pci-e wifi cards for notebooks, what I have been seeing on ebay is the full sized cards or small ones that have the hold down screws in a different location. I just want something that works out of the box on Lion. I took a shot at BCM4313 damn thing would be the 4727 model that is not supported fortunately it was only 10 bucks how about this guy here....http://www.ebay.com/itm/Broadcom-half-BCM94322HM8L-BCM4322-4322AGN-PCI-E-802-11agn-dual-band-wifi-N-card-/130619134540?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6981d24c a broadcom bcm94322hm8l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtArky Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 to be fair I might have added a different 80211family kext. I dont have a N router so I cant test that. make sure u have lan working as EN0 and wifi and EN1 and in boot.plist add EthernetBuiltIn Yes (chameleon wizard can do it for u) and a valid serial number yep did that. I dont know what you mean by valid serial number, I did purchase lion. how do you check, may it doesnt validate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtArky Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 hmm all is correct, still not work....side note, if you do the update to 10.7.3 you will lose it, I updated and lost wifi hardware, I got an 10.7.2 io80211family.kext and fixed it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
