Any success stories for BCM 4331?

[Felix Friedlander]

No, I have tried both ways and it is currently not supported - full stop (at least on 64bit installs, apparently it is possible to make 32-bit ones work with ndis(4) ). I am currently working on upgrading bwn(4) to support these newer cards however I am still a way off. I’ll let you know what I find! I have a mid-2012 13” BTW, it’s going great (apart from wifi obviously).

Modules I load based on bcmwl664.sys (I’ve found and tried several different versions) just complain that there is “no match for” a bunch of function names and then I get “NDIS dummy called…”.
