jalavoui Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 This topic is based on http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312045-atheros-wireless-driver-on-os-x-el-capitan-1011-for-unsupported-cards/ and http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312254-realtek-ethernet-panic-debug-driver-using-xcode-ui/ Goal is to make Broadcom cards work on El Capitan. Install Procedure: - Add Aerodrome to /Applications (original from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310394-legacy-broadcom-43xx-fix-for-el-capitan/) - Add AirPort.framework to S/L/PrivateFrameworks - Replace IO80211Family.kext in S/L/Extensions This kext is from 10.7 and it is very easy to patch/modd for other cards. Tested on a bcm4315 card on os x 10.11.4 U can edit the info.plist of the kexts inside IO80211Family.kext if your card is not listed and check if it works. Source code included in attach. btw the keychain code is bugged so i used a dictionary to store wifi passwords that is saved in home folder / .Aerodrome.out) TODO: improve App to support enterprise networks, modify kext patch, etc UPDATE: The App lacks some stability when associating. Atm i'll focus on driver patching. Patch for bcm4315 I've made some changes (based on wifi2.zip) in AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext. Check attach if u have this specific card (OS X 10.11.4 ok) DEV Tip: search for the value 0x4315. The patch is trivial wifi2.zip bcm4315.zip 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312448-broadcom-wireless-driver-on-os-x-el-capitan-1011-for-unsupported-cards/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freibeuter Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hey there, the Aerodrome works, but my BCM4323 (Netgear WNDA3100 V2) wireless stick is shown in the USB devices but not recognized as wireless adapter. What do I need to modify to make El Capitan accept it as wireless adapter? Thanks for any kind of help.
