I have a Broadcom BCM4312.
It's just not working. I click AirPort on, it doesn't change. D:

I have run the BCMenabler .sh file. Didn't work. I've checked that "bcm4312" is the the info.plist that's in one of the kexts method. It's there, but not working. D:
Halp?

I'm on 10.5.8.
Thanks.

Update: Now it i right click the AirPort icon in the top right corner, and it says No AirPort Card Installed. D:

Mine's a BCM 4311, it works out of the box, do you have anyway to change it to BCM4311?

if you have a way to change to BCM 4311, i suggest it, i don't have any experience with BCM 4312 so i can't tell what causes it not to work...

I have no idea how to do that. Only flashing to an Apple one but i'm weary about flashing my WiFi..

swap the BCM4312 card with a BCM4311 card. in that case no need to flashing and destroy you 4312 wifi. There are used wifi card from dell that were BCM 4311...

hth. happy hacking.... :D
