Super weird behavior with new WLAN card.
#1
Hi all,

I have been posting all around the net but I haven't found the right community so far to handle this sort of query. If you know of anywhere that specializes in this, please let me know!

Long story short is that I have bought the Dell DW1560 Broadcom BCM94352Z wireless card to replace my Intel AC7265 with the goal of having native wifi in my hackintosh environment.


I am not blocked by a BIOS Whitelist, which is why I am posting in the General Help section. (Feel free to move this if there is a more appropriate location)  After installing this card, I booted into OSX and it has worked beautifully. I stress tested by binge walking some shows on Netflix.

When I boot into Windows or Linux, however, the card is recognized correctly and drivers will install but neither OS finds any networks to connect to. That is my underlying problem. From what I can tell, it isn't scanning or it cannot receive information in Windows/Linux and I am not sure why. 

I have tried dozens of drivers. I have taped pins 54 & 56 just to make sure that nothing was disabling the wireless radio. Out of curiosity I created an adhoc network and while nothing could connect to it, all of my devices saw those cards broadcasting!

I don't think this is a BIOS issue, since the card works on OSX -- but I cannot get any help at popular Windows/Linux support sites since my evidence of the card being compatible is that it works in OSX. Those on OSX/Hackintoshing sites are not really there to give support for issues that only impact Windows lol.

So here I am, not that this is the best place to ask for tips on debugging or advice, I really think the issue lies somewhere in the subtle differences in how the operating systems handle device communication through the motherboard. Maybe the BIOS really is blocking me somehow. 

I would love any opinions on:
1. Could this be BIOS related? Am I at the right place at all?
2. Debugging tips? I consider myself fairly tech savvy I can follow instructions Tongue
3. Other places that might be worth my time to ask about this? I haven't found any communities dedicated to wlan upgrades in laptops lol
4. Any thoughts from you about what may be causing this. (I checked the Airplane mode button!)

Thanks,
-JC
