I have every single kext except for wireless. I cannot find it ANYWHERE.
My Hp Pavilion DV6727ca uses "Broadcom Dual-Band 802.11n PCI Express Laptop Wireless Card" and the kext has to be compatible with "BCM94321MC WiFi N". If I'm not mistaken my Wireless card should work out of the box since your wireless Card is compatible with "IO80211 family.kext".
I see the kext in system - file - extensions. Even tried re installing it.
Thanks guys, end this pain.

I would either try to reflash the chip (if you know how to do this) or better buy another PCI-E card.
