RagK Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Hey Hervé, Thanks for reply! I have installed @chris1111's module given here, and yet it detects wifi , connects but doesn't give internet access. Also sorry I saw in your guide and yes my wifi module is integrated with bluetooth and is not supported. But the guide is of wifi modules can get at least bluetooth working? I have BCM43142 (wifi) Edited October 4, 2020 by RagK Chris can you help here?

RagK Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) @Hervé sorry for tagging, I need your help. I have here two 1/2 mini pcie wifi cards can you tell if they are supported for my system? I did a lot of research but could't find it. Also I can't see if the first pic is supported, but second pic is surely supported (saw in your forum) by Catalina but I can't find if they are supported hardware wise. Also I have BCM43142 now in my laptop. This 1'st one is for DELL INSPIRON 3521 3537 5521 5537 5421 5423 as said on website Edited October 5, 2020 by RagK Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/345211-usb-wifi/#findComment-2739402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagK Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 @Hervé Sorry for troubling you again but in my region only available and supported card available is DW1506 based on AR9485. Is it worth taking risk? I have seen youtube videos showing its support on Catalina.
