Driver for Marvel 88W8797 to Max OSX

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

On the front page it mentioned that if there are any drivers from linux to be 
ported to mac to request it here. 

On the surface pro hackintosh the only thing not working for the community is 
the internal wifi. I found this page for Linux kernal driver database 
suggesting that support for the 88w8797 was added.

Marvell WiFi-Ex Driver for USB8797 found in drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MWIFIEX_USB:

prompt: Marvell WiFi-Ex Driver for USB8797
type: tristate
depends on: CONFIG_MWIFIEX && CONFIG_USB
defined in drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/Kconfig
found in Linux kernels: 3.5–3.13, 3.13+HEAD
modules built: mwifiex_usb
Help text

This adds support for wireless adapters based on Marvell Avastar 88W8797 
chipset with USB interface.

If you choose to build it as a module, it will be called mwifiex_usb.

The link can be found here:

Like I mentioned, this is the only thing from preventing the surface pro from 
being 100 percent hackintosh.

Thanks again!

10.7-10.10 would be awesome if support could be added for these versions!
