I'm just trying to get my MP 3,1 off of its ****** little wireless N chip and have it on AC.
This is the card I bought.
https://www.amazon.com/Compex-WLE600VX-802-11ac-Atheros-Wireless/dp/B011SIMFR8
But when I try to start the machine it stays in its Hardware Search Mode and doesn't boot. If I take it out its fine, if IY put in the broadcom one its fine, but if I put it in it doesn't work.
According to pages I looked up on this chip, it SHOULD work just fine. Its just an Atheros QC9882, which is used in some of the macbooks from recent years. You'll notice they keep saying it only works in linux too. I'm a linux user, I expect it to work.
So, if anyone has any experience with these let me know. I can't even get the ****ing thing to work in my thinkpad.
And if theres another AC chip I should get, please send me a link. I got this one because it wasn't 120 bucks like the intel ones.
Thanks.
