Incompatible Wifi card?

[Pavel Horniak]

Hi, i have ordered BCM43225HMB because i building hackintosh, and in description was: "Not compatible with HP/LENOVO/THINKPAD"

I have lenovo g580 with modded bios (removed wifi card whitelist)

I have send qestion about compatibility withhout whitelist, and i recieved this answer:

"I have check this card is an general version card it could not compact with any IBM or HP version laptop,
In normally the wireless card have three version: general version,IBM version and HP version"

So is it incompatible with my laptop, and what is difference between general, IBM and HP versions?

because i think it is basic mini pcie and any pcie device can work.

Asking the vendor of the device is the way to go here. Maybe an antenna issue.

You mean different antena connector?

Not so much connector as those should be standard but number of connections. Just a guess though, may be other issues.

I have recived this card, and Wifi is working well. But bluetooth was not detected. I taped pin 51 and 20, but nothing happens.

Is there any way to get it working?
