[SOLVED] Help me to make Arch detect my Hackintosh Broadcom wifi Card.

So, I recently installed this WiFi card(BCM94360Z4) for enabling Continuity and Airdrop support for my Hackintosh(I'm triple-booting macOS, Arch Linux and Windows).

The card works fine on Windows(after installing it's drivers) and macOS. But Linux cannot seem to detect it. I've checked the Broadcomm Arch wiki page and don't which version of the driver to install.

Please Help.

Re: [SOLVED] Help me to make Arch detect my Hackintosh Broadcom wifi Card.

At least broadcom-wl(-dkms) should work.

Since the links in the driver selection section seem to be unavailable today, here are archive links:

Oh, and 5GHz might have some problems: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Broadc … a)_devices

Re: [SOLVED] Help me to make Arch detect my Hackintosh Broadcom wifi Card.

The chips seems to be some™ 4360, but you'll have to post "lspci" because there're different iterations, https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use … f_hardware
Some are supported by the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Broadc … roadcom-wl driver.

Congratulations on choosing the worst possible family of chips for any linux system (you might have noticed that no other wifi-vendor has their own wiki page…)

For some reason my dns server resolved and cached the kernel wiki to localhost, restarting dnscrypt-proxy fixed it.

Re: [SOLVED] Help me to make Arch detect my Hackintosh Broadcom wifi Card.

@seth 

lspci -nn -d 14e4:

gives the following output:

@progandy when installing the broadcom-wl-dkms package offline, I'm getting the following output with errors:

Also, how do I know If my card is working correctly with properly installed drivers? I use nmcli for connecting with WiFi networks.

Re: [SOLVED] Help me to make Arch detect my Hackintosh Broadcom wifi Card.

You lack the linux-headers package.
The wl driver will support that chip, "lspci -k" tells you which modules are used for the device, you'll see the NIC in "ip a" and can use it to connect to an AP, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … n/Wireless

Re: [SOLVED] Help me to make Arch detect my Hackintosh Broadcom wifi Card.

@seth Installing linux-headers as well as the broadcomm-wl-dkms package gives me the following error:

==> ERROR: Missing 5.18.0-arch1-1 kernel modules tree for module broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271.

What things am I missing/doing wrong now?

Re: [SOLVED] Help me to make Arch detect my Hackintosh Broadcom wifi Card.

The installed and running kernel is 6 weeks old - either upgrade the kernel (proably the entire system "pacman -Syu") or install the matching headers version from the ALA, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Linux_Archive

Re: [SOLVED] Help me to make Arch detect my Hackintosh Broadcom wifi Card.

@seth @progandy Thank you very much for the help. The broadcom-wl-dkms did the trick. I'm able to connect to wireless Access Points.
