With all of the nooks and cranies of the Mac Pro, you do not want to be fishing for screws or lifting the forty pounds of magnificent aluminum above your melon, shaking it for a lost screw. Speaking of toolboxes, the supplied screwdriver with magnet was a welcome addition to this kit as the card attachment screws are tiny and easily lost without a magnetized tip to securely grab the screw. Very simple, but patience is probably a good tool to have in your toolbox. My experience went smoothly and the card immediately was recognized upon re-bo ot and voila, I had bandwidth to use. The latter can be difficult because there is no room for fat fingers and the attachments are different than most mac users are accustomed to using. If you updated your AirPort Extreme to BCM94360CD or BCM943602CD, both models work with Catalina.
APPLE BCM94322MC DRIVER
The trick comes with selecting the right antenna wires, in this case Wires 1 and 3, and plugging them onto the card terminals. MP5,1 AirPort Extreme: Apple removed the driver for BCM94322MC, AirPortBrcm4331.kext, from Catalina, the original AirPort Extreme card from both mid-2010/mid-2012 Mac Pro. After locating the wifi slot, one merely needed to move the antenna wires out of the road and secure the card with the provided screws.
APPLE BCM94322MC UPGRADE
But this upgrade was relatively simple, in spite of warning on several mac fix-it sites. Adding a wifi card to a Mac Pro can be daunting because of the tight quarters and numerous screws to be removed. Does anybody have any experience with using. However, it doesnt have a wi-fi card installed and Im moving to a new place where Ill need to make the Mac Pro wifi-enabled (Im using an ethernet cable in my current place). My recently-acquired 2009 MacPro was built at a time when wifi was still an optional add-on for Apple. Hey all I have an early-2009 Mac Pro which I love dearly and use for video editing.
