DW1830 (BCM943602BAED)


Recommended Posts

Correct. I removed it, rebuild permissions. Only difference Magic Keyboard, Mouse and Trackpad.are working now.

 

No kextToPatch in config.plist. BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext are installed.

 

Airdrop - works both ways
Continuity - partially working
Universal Clipboard - not working
Apple Watch auto-unlock not working
Hotspot - working

find My iPhone works until restart

 

DW1830@BCM943602BAED require less patching. Same functionality as I had with dw1560. Ehh...  

 

UPDATE:

Sierra updated to 10.12.3, same problems

Hello Everyone,

 

BCM943602BAED installed on e7470. macOS Sierra 10.12.3 with latest Bootpack for e7470 (Sierra). 

 

Kexts installed to /L/E and loaded:

 

FakePCIID.kext

BrcmPatchRam2.kext

BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext

 

Bluetooth is working fine, but no WiFi, should be working OOB...

 

I try to install FacePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext and it was loaded, but still no WiFI.

 

I tried to add kext to patch for 5hgz for Poland region, but still nothing.

 

my e7470 cannot boot when I have lagacy boot option on in BIOS. If I disable it I can boot to Mac normally, not sure if it's related?

hanks for reply Hervé. 

 

FakePCIID.kext removed, now only BrcmPatchRam2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext are in /s/e, but still no Wifi after rebuilding permissions. 

 

Could it be a DSDT problem? If I run ssdtPRGen.sh there is no error, but when I put SSDT.aml to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched I got kernel panic during boot.

 

From config.plist removed all patches related to Bluetotoh, Handoff, 5hgz patch and bcm94352z ngff.

Difficult to say. The generated SSDT is for CPU power management and bears no relation to wireless services and/or equipment.

 

The DSDT would only impact the card if it's previously been patched for another model.

A problem with DW1830 is solved. Jake Lo prepared E7470_v1.15.4_alternate bootpack. New DSDT/SSDT fix problem with WiFi. 

 

Airdrop - working

Continuity - not working or working slowly like tabs in Safari

Universal Clipboard - not working, it worked once

 

Apple Watch auto-unlock not working, get the pop-up unlocking with apple watch, but after a while it ask for password.

find my iphone - can be enabled and it's working until restart- it's disabled again after restart

 

I looked for BCM94360 replacment. I found BCM94360CS2 Card To NGFF(M.2) Key A/E Adapter https://goo.gl/images/giwTWH

BCM94360CD fit to it, but it's not recognized in BIOS/Windows or macOS. Also antenna connectors not fit and I'm NOT sure if I could close the down cover properly with screws,- card with adaprter is quite big.
