They are the supplied units with MacOSX so are supported. They also have Linux support: [sOLVED] Broadcom BCM4352 issue . Windows of course is no problem.

nnatski Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The best cards I've used in linux are atheros based cards. If you want 3x3 chain I suggest looking for cards based on the AR9380 chipset if only 2x2 then you can go for the AR9280 cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can do that , you need flash your bios to an unlocker version .http://forum.techinferno.com/lenovo-ibm/2260-lenovo-y580-y480-unlocked-bios-versions.htmlregards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
