Help to recognize BCM4312 as AirPort

[giofrida]

Hi guys!

 

I need help to force recognize my BCM4312 [Device ID: 4315, Vendor ID: 14e4] as AirPort Extreme. I tried a lot of times to force recognize by changing Device ID (as AirPort Device [0x004E]), SubSystemVendor ID (as Apple [0x106b]), SubSystemProduct ID (as AirPort Device [0x004E]) in the Device (ARPT) in my DSDT.

 

			Device (ARPT)
			{
				Name (_ADR, Zero)
				Name (_SUN, One)
				Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
				{
					0x09,
					0x03
				})
				Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
				{
					Store (Package (0x0C)
						{
							"AAPL,slot-name",
							Buffer (0x08)
							{
								"Built-In"
							},
							"name",
							Buffer (0x2E)
							{
								"Broadcom 4312 802.11a/b/g Wireless Controller"
							},
							"device-id",
							Unicode ("N"),
							"subsystem-id",
							Unicode ("N"),
							"subsystem-vendor-id",
							Buffer (0x04)
							{
								 0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00
							},
							"device_type",
							Buffer (0x08)
							{
								"AirPort"
							}
						}, Local0)
					DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
					Return (Local0)
				}
			}

 

Additional informations:

 

~ I'm running Lion 10.7.4 32 bit

 

~ I'm using IO80211Family.kext from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 because it contains the AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext Plugin (which works with my BCM4312).

 

~ My Broadcom Card support a/b/g PHY Modes.

 

~ Now System Profiler (in the Wi-Fi section) says: Third-Party Wireless Card:

 

 

Please help me!

rebrand it with linux

rebrand it with linux

 

Thank you for the response. Is impossible to do the same thing via DSDT without rebranding?

for broadcoms.. seems the driver goes directly to card bypasing _DSM

ive tried and tried.. best results was rebranding subsystem.

the device id isnt included in the info.plist also.. i

 

think if u try the register in dsdt method (like ioata panic fix method) it might work.
