DW1560 and macOS-compatible Dell WiFi/BT cards update (and a little spiel on how to get them cheap!)

Hey guys! Since last night I recently ordered the DW1560 WiFi/BT card from the Dell Chat last night for my Inspiron 5559, I just wanna share to you guys a few things.

You may have noticed that prices for Dell WiFi/BT cards (incl. DW1560) are kinda expensive, and you would wait 1,000 years for it to ship from China. Maybe sometimes they work, sometimes they don't at all. What I love is, you could still buy the card from Dell. And best of all, it's at a cheap and affordable price (for me it was $20.99 CAD, without shipping/handling.)

So as I wait for the order to be confirmed and have it shipped to my mouth, here's a little guide on how to get a CHEAP Dell DW1560 (or any other card), and I recommend you try this first before going to the expensive, Chinese time-wasting option!

But, you can't just buy the part from Dell.com. It's a easter egg somewhere, so you'll have to get it via Dell Chat. This might work in the United States and other countries where Dell Support is available.

  1. Go to Dell Chat (Canadian users go here: https://www.dell.com/learn/ca/en/cacorp1/campaigns/chat-splitter-ca-corp) and just go to "Click to Chat" on Home Users.

  2. Select "Purchase Parts & Warranty Extensions", input your name and e-mail, and if you want you can have your chat transcript saved at the end.

  3. Say hello to your little stranger, and request them the part number: 6XRYC (for DW1560). Now you will mostly be asked to input your shipping information on the chat, don't be nervous! Just follow what they say.

  4. Follow the instructions guided by your agent.

  5. After paying for the item, you'll receive your receipt in your Inbox.

Now, here's a quick-and-painless install guide for the DW1560 (will try once it arrives), so you don't need to vomit in L/E, S/L/E, S/L/Tizi whatever...

Kexts: AirportBrcmFixup.kext, BrcmFirmwareData.kext, and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext

FixAirport in DSDT (you can turn it on in Clover Configurator)

Those 3 kexts should go to CLOVER/Kexts/Other folder. I'll tell you my experience once the card comes. Have a wonderful day y'all! And stay safe.
