[REMOVED]Compaq CQ61-240ED F.21A(Broadcom BCM4311)(VEN_14E4&DEV_4311&SUBSYS_1375103C)

I would love to get my bcm card working on this laptop instead of the 104 error.
Or be done with the whitelist alltogether Is this possible? All I could find was this
The latest bios I could find is here.

Hello

Using This Modded Bios Means The Notebook Can Only Support The Following Cards Now:-

Broadcom BCM4311

Ven ID - 14E4
Dev ID - 4311
SubSys ID - 1375103C

Thanks for the mod, the good news the laptop still boots, the bad news is the card is not accepted (same old 104 error during boot). My supplied info is from windows 7. I did notice in osx it tells met the vendor is 14e4 without the capital e (14E4) don't know if this makes any difference I do not know where to find the subsys id in osx. According to windows it is with capital E as in my copy paste from the windows device manager.

Any chance something went wrong with the mod?

Again thanks for the effort.

Ive updated the mod , please download it again and retry

good Luck!

If its the same link (above) alas it still gives the dreaded 104 error
The "good" news is the other card is no longer working either so you must be in the right place...

I opened the .fd file with a hexeditor but could not find anything recognizable so unless there is a guide somewhere I'll depend on you pros

Once again thanks for the effort!


going through the devicemanager in windows again to double check:

Matching device id:
pci\ven_14e4&dev_4311&subsys_1375103c

[1234s282]

This ones awkward!

Try download again , hopefully 3rd time lucky (Same link , i just keep updating the fiels in teh archive)

still the same 104. In an effort to find more info. I found a servicemanual for my laptop apparently it accepts the following cards:
■Atheros AR9280 802.11a/g/n
■Atheros AR2425 802.11b/g
■Atheros 802.11 b/g/n
■Atheros 802.11 a/b/g/n
■Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g
■Intel Wi-Fi 5100 802.11 a/b/g

I'm trying to find out the ven/dev/sub of these cards but have had not much luck so far. This is what I've found

BCM 4312 could be: 14e4:4315 subsystem unknown... I found this info:
%BCM430G_DeviceDesc% = BCM43XG12, PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4311&SUBSYS_1364103C
%BCM430M_DeviceDesc% = BCM43XM12, PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4312&SUBSYS_1361103C
%BCM430G_DeviceDesc% = BCM43XG12, PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4311&SUBSYS_1375103C
%BCM430M_DeviceDesc% = BCM43XM12, PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4312&SUBSYS_1371103C
%BCM430NM_DeviceDesc% = BCM43XNM12, PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4328&SUBSYS_1367103C

for the intel 5100 I found this:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4232&SUBSYS_12018086&REV_00

so if the service document is correct the bcm4312 should be in the whitelist and I guess in that case one of the above is in there, maybe its easier to change than the atheros?

too bad my card is 4311 instead of 4312 on the other hand the subsystem id's might differ...
There are quite a few assumptions in this post but it might help?

[1234s282]

I wont give up!

once again , please try the download link again.

I found the Intel 5100 reference (it was actually splitinto 2 parts) and replaced the ids with the new card , so in theory it should now work!

good luck!

Theory is one thing, reality another...
Lucky for me theory has become reality whoopie!
The Atheros is no longer accepted but The BCM is, and working nicely in osx86
Thanks again!

(ps I made a small donation!)

I also bought the Broadcom BCM4311 adapter (hardware-id says 4312 ??), however mine is rev 01 so the modded bios in this thread isn't working. could you mod the bios for me to ?
