shoumma Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hello everyone, I have a Dell inspiron 14 series laptop. I have successfully managed to install OS X in it with Graphics, Audio, Networking, Sleep etc. fixed. I just want to know if is there any possibility for getting my Broadcom BCM43142 work. "lspci" is showing the following report : 06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1704 802.11n + BT 4.0 [1028:0016] Control: I/O- Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18 Region 0: Memory at f7d00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst+ PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=2 PME- Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?> Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000fee00000 Data: 4076 Capabilities: [d0] Express (v1) Endpoint, MSI 00 DevCap: MaxPayload 128 bytes, PhantFunc 0, Latency L0s <4us, L1 unlimited ExtTag+ AttnBtn- AttnInd- PwrInd- RBE+ FLReset- DevCtl: Report errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- RlxdOrd- ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop- MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 512 bytes DevSta: CorrErr- UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq- AuxPwr+ TransPend- LnkCap: Port #0, Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s L1, Latency L0 <4us, L1 <64us ClockPM+ Surprise- LLActRep- BwNot- LnkCtl: ASPM L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes Disabled- Retrain- CommClk+ ExtSynch- ClockPM- AutWidDis- BWInt- AutBWInt- LnkSta: Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1, TrErr- Train- SlotClk+ DLActive- BWMgmt- ABWMgmt- I know I'm now trying to go from necessity to luxury (sorry, human nature :-). Could you guys let me know if there is any possibility of getting my WiFi driver working? Also is it possible to get the bluetooth support? Thanks in advance.

TheRacerMaster Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Not supported IIRC. Bluetooth might work with BrcmPatchRAM, but WiFi simply will not work. I'd recommend replacing it with another more-supported Broadcom card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoumma Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hello guys, thanks for your replies. I understand that it's not possible to make my wifi device enable. Is there any possibility to get my bluetooth working? I have tried with BrcmPatchRAM. But it doesn't seems working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
