Chosen Solution
Dears, Is it possible to update my MacBook (early 2008) with newer version of MacOS? After the upgrade will the WiFi (airport) card not work because too old? So my question is: If it’s possible to install a new version of the card. Please could you suggest me which model? For your info the cards from BROADCOM that are Airport Extreame on MacBook system config that are not acceptable as card type: (0x14E4, 0x8C), (0x14E4, 0x9D), (0x14E4, 0x87), (0x14E4, 0x88), (0x14E4, 0x8B), or (0x14E4, 0x90) . If no solution to fix it I must install Linux… Sorry for my long question. Thanks in advance for your time. Waiting for your help. G
The highest your system will run OS-X El Capitan 10.11.6. As far as AirPort the best you can install is the AirPort Extreme which only offers 802.11n support as the highest standard. Review this guide: [invalid guide link] Finding a replacement board will be tricky! The board you need are just not being made anymore and whats out there are from systems which are stripped for parts which is just not done any more for this older model. Sadly, I think its just time for a newer system as this system is quite limited from a processing & RAM prospective as well.
