    I am attempting to run macOS on my Blade Stealth. For native wireless support, I need to swap out the Killer 1535 for a Broadcom BCM94352Z.

    My problem is that when I swap out the wireless cards, it results in my internal laptopscreen going black, but the laptop still functions. The laptop screen goes black at boot and the OS still boots up. HDMI output shows that the laptop is functioning, and wireless also works just fine. The only way to get output on my internal display is to force reset the display (via closing and opening the laptop OR enable/disable the display). My issue occurs on Linux, Windows, and macOS, so it's not a result of macOS not playing with the card.

    I have swapped out with an Intel 8265 my internal screen works without issues. I have also tried multiple different versions of the Broadcom BCM94352Z and the same issue persists.

    Can anyone possibly help me please?
