We never did fully crack that nut; I quickly realised how far out of my depth I was :) On Mon, Sep 2, 2013 at 11:02 AM, Lundberg, Johannes < johannes@brilliantservice.co.jp> wrote: > This is the info OSX gives me about the 11" 2013 MacBook Air. > After a little bit of Googling, it looks like the chip inside the mid-2013 MacBook Air is the Broadcom BCM4360 (Not the 4331 I've played with) which is currently _not_ supported[1] by the legacy b43 Linux driver. Additionally, it doesn't seem to be listed in the list of supported devices of Broadcom's official open-source Linux drivers[2]. Broadcom's website seems a little helpful - they offer you the ability to submit a request for driver help - but not for this model of chip. I think your best bet will be to work from the sources of the bcmwl driver[3] - which /might/ be related to the brcm80211 stuff? I've not dug any further.
