l33tNoob Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 That did not help me at all. I am asking because there are specifically no topics that help me with my problem.

gprince Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi Open a terminal and type: sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext/Contents/Info.plist type your password replace 4318 by 4315 (should be the device id) ctrl O to save, ctrl X to quit sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions And the new interface will normally appear.

l33tNoob Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it. Just one question though, do I replace 4318 with 4315 or vice versa. Thanks, btw, mcsmart enabler does not work.

gprince Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Edit: sorry I misread yesterday, I thought you asked how to change 4318 to 4315. As 4315 is your device ID, you need to add it in the Info.plist. If you prefer an other way, take back mcsmart enabler, open it with TextEdit and add 4315 between 4313 and 4318, in fact you will have this: <string>pci14e4,4313</string> <string>pci14e4,4315</string> <string>pci14e4,4318</string> then open a terminal, go to the directory where the file is and type sudo sh bcm43xxenabler.sh It is the same as editing directly the IO80211Family.kext. Good luck you will succeed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140056-i-need-help-with-broadcom-4312/#findComment-993264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
