I am running Linux on my macbook pro and it has a Broadcom BCM4360 wifi card. Problem is that the driver for it is proprietary (or more accurately, mostly proprietary with some of the source code available), quite outdated, and I couldn’t get it to work with Linux kernel v6.9.5.

I am running Gentoo Linux on my macbook with a custom kernel. I previously had wifi working, but then I reinstalled Gentoo (because I wanted to do full disk encryption), copied over the kernel config file from my previous install (which I knew had working wifi), migrated it to a newer kernel version (plus added support for full disk encryption) and now the wifi drivers won’t even compile.

So, I was thinking of replacing the current wifi card with something that has modern and open-source drivers for it. Is it possible to do that on a Macbook pro 11,2 (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)? If so, are there any compatible wifi cards with open source drivers for Linux?
