minus_13 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hello.. As you guys know about the OSx's problem with Broadcom cards (matches the sub-vendor-id with apple's vendor-id), we couldn't use them on our lovely hackintoshes... Now from this compatibility list (https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0Arr23WYNror4dEc2T045WkFrbm56N0JfQVdiSU5jdHc&hl=ru) if some guy made.. (Sorry it's in Russian) I see that from 10.8.5+ some of the cards like (43224 & 43225) might work with osx with the device id fix.... I don't know actually who updates the list so I want to ask you guys to do a favor to the community and write a tutorial on how to do that (if possible), because many of us (like me) have this cards in our laptops and we will be happy if they work So far I injected my device id (14e4:4357) into each of the 3 kexts (4331, 4360, 43224) but no result so far (I see they are loaded in kextstat but I see no wifi being enabled.. ) Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292448-broadcom-43225-device-id-fix-for-1085/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanerson Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Is not possible by software level (DSDT, legacy injector, info.plist modification). Because is a firmware limitation. I am sorry. BUT "maybe" there is a chance with a complete rebranding (hardware level) from linux, changing the ID 4357 to 4353, vendor, etc. Just a test. Note: For HP Notebooks, the whitelist (BIOS supported cards) is another important limitation before apply the rebranding. There is a implicit risk too.

minus_13 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Since 10.8.4 it's possible... Because I just did it!!! and for the information newer Broadcom cards like 4357 can not be rebranded because Broadcom implemented something that blocks the change... Here is the proof: WIFI-WORKING.tiff Credits go to toleda ( https://github.com/toleda/airport_pcie-hm ) I just had to install the enabler kext and then insert my device id into 4360's kext.. and it was working For other guys to use them, I have attached the working kexts for 10.9 Mavericks (I don't know if they will work on 10.8 ML or not, so test please..) Supported Cards (According to toleda): Native Airport PCIe Half Mini cards. 2. BCM4360 - 2.4/5 GHz, ac+abgn, 3 Stream, 1300 Mbs (PCIe x1, not HM at this time) 3.

pheucha1 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thank you, it works perfectly with my HP Elitebook 8460p, Broadcom 43224 a/b/g, OS X 10.9 GM. Now my laptop's fully working! What version of OS X did you get this working on & did you upgrade to Maverick yet? I have the same model, tried with a fresh install of 10.9.1, but it's not working. I'm about to reformat and try again.
