Wifi card not working under Mojave.

Zeke D said:
I connected wires 0 & 2, with #1 tucked under the card, the same as the 2006 airport card. With both 94322 cards, system profiler shows it as a "Third Party Wireless" instead of Airport Extreme.

Did you bought a real Apple card? Like this that I've bought two, and works nicely?

OK first off I have an iMac Late 2017 27". I am now on High Sierra and all is working, but when Mojave is installed all networking is gone and no way to add as Mojave doesn't find the network devices. That is the problem!

iMac? Sounds like you're in the wrong forum then ;)

Seems that your AirPort Extreme still present to the hardware, but not working. Did you tried to reset NVRAM/SMC?

This is a example of a working one:

OK at this time I am on High Sierra and all my networking including WiFi works. But as soon as I install Mojave the networks cards are no longer available, and can't select them in Network settings. Not sure what to do now.

Here on Mac Pro forum I doubt that someone will have the same iMac and the problem is that Apple intentionally REMOVED support for our AirPorts Extreme cards from Mojave.

You proved that Mojave beta has a bug on your hardware config, did you report to Apple via Feedback app? Did you went to Mojave and iMac forums and check if anyone has the same problem/found a solution?

For some strange reason I am unable to post there. I will try again. Yes I did notify Apple. Big problem is Feedback doesn't work when the network cards don't work.
 
How long did it take for those to arrive?

Everything take months to arrive in Brazil, especially from China. I've recommended to another user in Alaska that got within 3 weeks.

Apple removed Broadcom BCM94321MC from Sierra and Atheros 9380 from Mojave. BCM94322MC still has support on Mojave.

I don't understand why there is not a huge outcry against Apple's choice to deliberately sabotage earlier systems.

And, in areas where "planned obsolescence" is illegal - this would surely appear to be "planned".

Where is the outrage? Why aren't people

My home Windows 10 workstation has lots of drivers that are 10 years old or more (but then, Windows has an opaque driver API specifically designed to ensure that older drivers work without rebuilding).

[Of course there are occasional inflection points where fundamental Windows driver architecture changes force rebuilding - such as the WDDM display architecture change that came with Vista. Windows Vista and Windows 7 supported both the older XDDM model and WDDM, but Windows 8 and later is WDDM only. Two and a half years that both driver API models were supported.

From Windows 8 on, if your vendor didn't release a new WDDM graphics driver - your card still works, but in unaccelerated VGA mode. This is rare, and I tend to blame the 3rd party hardware vendor for abandoning the devices. (I'm looking at you, ATI!)]

Apple removed AR9280/AR9285/AR9287/AR9380 from Mojave.

Lost 3 BCM94321MC on High Sierra and 2 AR9320 on Mojave. I can install the drivers manually, but I prefer to replace the cards for supported ones.

My 2¢ - I don't see the point on suffering with WiFi on a stationary system. Use copper for performance and reliability.

But then, my house is wired with one to three Cat6 jacks in every room. And yes, there's the latest WiFi for the phones, tablets and visiting laptops - but 1 GbE copper for everything that needs a power cord.

I have CAT6 on both ports, one goes to my switch and two to a 3TB Time Capsule where I do my Time Machine backup. I only use Wi-Fi on My Mac Pros to have localisation, so I buy the cheapest supported, at the moment BCM94322MC.

My WiFi and Bluetooth do not work after my 5,1 has been asleep for a while. Hopefully next update will fix this. Both work on cold boot. Will submit feedback to Apple.

Edit-I have pci14e4,43a0

Which I think is BCM94360CS2

I just eBay purchased a BCM94322MC Airport card to replace my Atheros 9280 card that is unsupported in Mojave.
When I look at the pictures of both cards, the BCM94322MC has 2 connectors, and the 9280 has 3 connectors. Why is that?

BCM94322MC only has two radios, Atheros 9280 has three.
