If you’ve recently salvaged a Wi-Fi card from a low-end Windows laptop or purchased a “dual-band 802.11n” mini PCIe adapter on a budget, you might have encountered the . broadcom bcm94313hmg2l driver
You’ll likely hit the infamous “Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4313-sdio.bin failed” error. Have you managed to get the BCM94313HMG2L working
Only if you get it for free or under $5. For the same Mini PCIe slot, a Realtek RTL8821AE or an Intel 7260HMW offers dual-band 802.11ac and far better driver sanity. You’ll likely hit the infamous “Direct firmware load
