I have bcm4352. Wifi is actually loaded and can scan for hotspots from terminal. But it shows no hotspot in wifi setting, no way to connect?

Hello, having the same issue here, installed into a Dell Latitude E6410 with Broadcom wifi board. If there is any way to install wifi drivers please share. Otherwise system looks great.

Hello. I have USB dongle type WiFi (TP-LINK TL-WN725 Nano) which uses the RTL8188 chipset. Android x86 is not detecting it. How to install drivers?

ChiWei Hwang said Oreo K49 (kernek 4.9) work, but actually it didn't work, Rollback to Nougat R2 and it works 100%

Same here, on a Dell Mini 9 sporting Broadcom BCM4312. The OS works great, including LAN, but not WLAN and BT.

These instructions worked with mid 2012 macbook pro 13" (non retina) booting android x86 8.1 r5:
"Just add EXTMOD=b43 to the kernel boot loading options."

You need to mount the EFI partition (google that yourself) then navigate to /EFI/boot/android.cfg and edit add "EXTMOD=b43" to the menuentry on the kernel line after any of the existing parameters.
