I have this old '13 air. It’s outta support, so I run fedora instead of macos. It has BCM4630 for wireless (🖕 Broadcom), which had me manually install a rather unreliable driver to ever get it working. Yesterday I updated, and it can’t find any networks anymore.
Instead of messing with broadcom drivers anymore, I’d rather replace the hardware with something better. Has anyone here tried this? Know what will work both in linux and macos, if I were to pass this thing to someone else later?
Yeah, these adapters are exactly what I intend to use if there’s no mac card that just works.
However, for normal cards I have no clue about antenna compatibility, and macos compatibility. I guess the latter is just a nice to have instead of a requirement, though.

No macOS card compatibility outside of the Broadcom cards… which is really sad. So the usecase here is, install a different card for windows and Linux and use the card on some hackintosh build.
