Original laptop antenna or Taobao card with windows

Open MrJosu opened this issue 6 years ago • 10 comments

Hello, i have a question. At current time i want to install windows into this laptop. During installation of taobao card i damaged pin on original laptop antenna, so i need to solder it back. For me of course best option will be to use taobao card in windows, but i think it's not working? Or exist some drivers for it? And maybe you know how i can find original laptop antenna installed into lid?

It can work under windows with driver..(try boot camp or search on Google ), but it seem hard to use under linux...

Actually there is Windows drivers for this card, you may lurk into wifi issues on @stevezhengshiqi 's repository for driver link. It works under windows quite fine and works natively in most Linux distros too

You only need the driver downloaded by boot camp..., and yea go check steve repo issue, I'm sure there is a link for windows.

@MrJosu I've tried bootcamp but it didn't work for me since bootcamp only allowed installation on an apple device. However, I managed to get it working using the BCM43XX driver from https://www.driver-wireless.com/broadcom-bcm43xx-driver-win7810.html. Just run Install_CD > Setup.exe from the Broadcom BCM43XX Driver (Windows 10) file downloaded from this site. annotation 2019-01-05 131509

@stevezhengshiqi Hey, maybe you have any idea how to make bluetooth working under windows? I mean bluetooth from taobao card

MrJosu avatar Jan 24 '19 17:01 MrJosu

Sure. Here is BCM943602CS BT driver. I think I have uploaded it somewhere before. AppleBluetoothBroadcom64.zip

@stevezhengshiqi Thanks:) Managed to launch, just with a bad range:( Any suggestion where i can buy spare antennas? I want to try to solder this card to lid, for better range. Because everything else in this laptop is perfectly fine and no point to move to windows only. (Plus i damaged connector when i was disconnecting original antenna)
