Some HP Envy laptops does come with Broadcom BCM4352. Also, BCM4352 is whitelisted in most of laptops. You might have to dig deeper.

Tip: Browser search for "WiFi using BCM94352HMB" in that thread it'll take you directly to it. Also, some Asus gaming laptops (G series) come with this chip.

vusun123 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 @vusun ....oohhh! any chance to overcome the whitelist? i really can't find another module osx compatible.. Modding bios using an external bios programmer, but it comes with alot of risk. I recommend buying one that comes with native supported wifi Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306662-laptop-with-native-wifi-andor-bt-module/#findComment-2146950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
