Hey all,

so I just got my new Wifi Card thinking that it would be supported OOB. It's an Azurewave AW-CB160H with a BCM94360HMB chip. It's being recognized by OS X and the WiFi icon is there but I can only select one of my networks (an old Wifi router from my ISP) and it's so slow that I can't use it. I can't even load up a simple google search.

So I booted into Windows to check if the card is working but it's not OOB. After a lengthy hunt for drivers I found that the Asus PCE-AC68 uses the same BCM76360. I installed the Asus drivers and low and behold, it's the same {censored} connectivity as in OSX.

Do I need to update the firmware maybe? Is the thing broken? 

I got it off of eBay, is there a way to verify that it has indeed the BCM94360 chip on it?

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Edit: the country code appears to be set to XT. Could that be the problem?

Check out the 5 GHz patch on the following page:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292542-airport-pcie-half-mini/

 

My second wifi network has a 2.4 and a 5ghz network so it should at least pick up the 2.4 one if it's a 5ghz problem?

 

The card appears to have the country code XT but I'm in Germany. Could that be the problem?

 

I will check out the guide, although it's a little confusing to be honest.

 

Will this update the devices firmware? Or is this just a fix for OSX. I need the card to work properly in Windows as well.

Allerdings.... ;)

 

You should have a KextToPatch entry in Clover so the card is set to DE as the country code:

 

You can modify it with your own 2-letters country code :

Comment BCM94352 5 GHz (>10.10.3)

Name AirPortBrcm4360

Find 41 83 FC FF 74 2C 48

Replace 66 C7 06 44 45 EB 2B

 

EDIT:

With this patch it will only be used with OSX while your other OS will not be changed.

Awesome, thanks for your help!

 

One more thing though.. I installed clover using the "multi tool" (is it still not allowed to name them here?). So by clover do you mean a separate application in OSX or the actual bootloader where I choose what partition I wanna boot from?

 

Sorry for being a noob  :blush:  :)

I mean the actual booloader, since the latest Beast-Tools are also using Clover... ;)

 

You can use the Application "Clover Configurator" to mount your hidden EFI-Partition, load the config.plist and add the KextToPatch entry.

In your first post you mentioned Comment BCM94352 5 GHz (>10.10.3) but I have the BCM94360. Is that a problem? I'm still a bit lost here :(

 

Edit: btw I got my clover config.plist open now, but I'm not quite sure where to go from here

 

Edit #2: Okay I figured it out. Country code is DE now but nothing else has changed. The speed is still bad and my other two networks aren't showing up at all.  :(

Okay I got it working now. It was the crappy antennas that were included with the card. I re-attached them and put them outside of the case. I can connect to my 5ghz network now and I get 30Mbps. I should be getting 50Mbps but thats okay for now. I will be getting proper antennas, hopefully it will work out.

 

Thank you so much for your help al6042!
