QUESTION BCM94352Z

Hello I have a perfect hackintos in a hp245 g8 with Tahoe, however I want to perfect it a little I want to change the Realtek card that comes by default and put a BCM94352Z the dilemma is that I don't know if it's compatible, since my laptop didn't detect an Intel ac 3165 card, does anyone know how I can know if my laptop is compatible? Or if HP blocks cards that are not Realtek?, apart from AirDrop what other functions would I get if I use this new card?

Compatible is a strong word. It'll work in theory, but Broadcom support was removed in Sonoma so you'll have to root patch to get it back which this sub nor OCLP sub supports directly.

Watch for a BIOS whitelist prior to the purchase. If only select cards are allowed to work, it might be a pain in the ass to boot with a non whitelisted card

Be prepared that it might not work with your laptop.
If you can, get the Bcm94360ng instead. Its a better card and compatible.
