Original Question:
It looks like if the Dell DW1830 BCM943602BAED is the card with the most recent specs according to
https://dortania.github.io/Wireless-Buyers-Guide/types-of-wireless-card/m2.html#supported-cards
https://dortania.github.io/Wireless-Buyers-Guide/unsupported.html
Are there any other recommeded cards with better support/specs?
Does this mean I just repace the wifi card and wifi/bluetooth are recognized automatically without any Kext etc?
Currently I've Big sur running on a VMWare image. Can I try out Wifi/Bluetooth there? Will the VMWare Big Sur installation recognize the card?
Thank you!
