Hello all.

I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air that has a BCM943224PCIEBT2 (Broadcom) WiFi adapter.

After installing Mint xfce, the system locks up when it boots up.

If I remove the Broadcom hardware from the motherboard and attach a usb nic, the system works just fine. I can install apps and browse the web just fine.

If I put the Broadcom adapter back in and power it up, the system locks up again.

I suspect it’s a driver issue but don’t know how to resolve.

Any help or insight would be appreciated.

I could just recycle the laptop but now I want to win this battle. lol.

Thank you.
