BCM943224PCIEBT2 issues solved #9

For people, who used Wolfgang's guide to fit BCM943224PCIEBT2 inside - WiFi doesn't work with this EFI (at least it didn't work for me).
Solved by adding AirportBrcmFixup.kext from this repo and importing it in the config.plist : 

            <dict>
                <key>Arch</key>
                <string>Any</string>
                <key>BundlePath</key>
                <string>AirportBrcmFixup.kext</string>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>Enabled</key>
                <true/>
                <key>ExecutablePath</key>
                <string>Contents/MacOS/AirportBrcmFixup</string>
                <key>MaxKernel</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>MinKernel</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>PlistPath</key>
                <string>Contents/Info.plist</string>
            </dict>
            <dict>
                <key>Arch</key>
                <string>Any</string>
                <key>BundlePath</key>
                <string>AirportBrcmFixup.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector.kext</string>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>Enabled</key>
                <true/>
                <key>ExecutablePath</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>MaxKernel</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>MinKernel</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>PlistPath</key>
                <string>Contents/Info.plist</string>
            </dict>

So it's not the issue per se, but if anyone with this wifi card will struggle getting WiFi to work - this fixes the problem.

Thanks

however 2 things i wanna say here

  1. use this link for AirportBrcmFixup.kext https://github.com/acidanthera/AirportBrcmFixup

  2. there is absolutely no reason to use this card over a BCM94360CS or BCM94360CS2, or BCM943602CS (dont use this card as it doesnt support bluetooth over UEFI

i will include the notes to use this kext for this card on the main readme when i get a chance
