Installing a kext is a basic skill. The README has a link for download. Use Kext Wizard if you're a novice.

Read the README.



Being a beginner does not make you unable to read.

OK ..1 – Go to https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-null-ethernet/downloads and DL the archives.

OK...2 – Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/maciasl/ and download MaciASL.

OK...3 – Install the NullEthernet.kext located in the folder RELEASE with your favourite Kext installer (I've used Kext Utility).

OK...4 – Then proceed to edit your DSDT. Open MaciASL then go to --> Tools and select PATCH.

OK….5 - A dialog window will show. Press OPEN and select the included "patch.txt". Select "Apply", save your DSDT and quit MaciASL.

the problem is here

***6 – Copy the file ssdt–rnme.aml included in to the folder "/Extra/". Rename it to ssdt.aml. If you have more than one ssdt, rename i to ssdt-2.aml (or ssdt-3.aml and so on).


OK...7 – Reboot

OK...8 – When your beautiful Hackintosh reboots, go to System Preferences --> Network. Change location to "Automatic" (just in case you have different locations stored) and remove all of your network adapters using the "-" button located below the list of adapters.

OK...9 – Go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration and remove NetworkInterfaces.plist. If you wish, copy it to a different folder to have a backup (but it's not really needed).

OK….10 – Reboot

OK...11 – Once your hack is up and running again, go to System Preferences --> Network and manually add the adapter you use to connect to the internet AND ALSO the fake Ethernet adapter. I've chosen DHCP and it "found" an IP address. Both are online now.

but don't got it access the app store, ok?

Use either patched DSDT or the SSDT, not both. With Clover and most desktops (since you don't likely have a patched DSDT in the first place), it is easiest just to copy the SSDT in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched.

So, after a terrible thunderstorm my built-in network adapter died. Since I had an Apple USB Ethernet adapter (which I used with my MacBook Air), I've just plugged it back and got internet running again. BUUUUTTT, App Store wasn't working anymore. I've read a lot of solutions online, tried most of them and the only one that was truly useful is the one proposed by RehabMan (thank you so much, mate).

On the other hand, the installation method is not very easy for almost-newbies like me. Open the zip, install kext, patch DSDT, use SSDT... WTF, where should I start? After a couple of hours trying to figure out what to do, I've installed it and it's running perfectly. Probably it works for all external Internet adapters, either wi-fi or Ethernet. This is a straightforward guide for those out there who don't know how to install it.

1 – Go to https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-null-ethernet/downloads and DL the archives.

2 – Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/maciasl/ and download MaciASL.

3 – Install the NullEthernet.kext located in the folder RELEASE with your favourite Kext installer (I've used Kext Utility).

4 – Then proceed to edit your DSDT. Open MaciASL then go to --> Tools and select PATCH.

5 - A dialog window will show. Press OPEN and select the included "patch.txt". Select "Apply", save your DSDT and quit MaciASL.

6 – Copy the file ssdt–rnme.aml included in to the folder "/Extra/". Rename it to ssdt.aml. If you have more than one ssdt, rename i to ssdt-2.aml (or ssdt-3.aml and so on).

7 – Reboot

8 – When your beautiful Hackintosh reboots, go to System Preferences --> Network. Change location to "Automatic" (just in case you have different locations stored) and remove all of your network adapters using the "-" button located below the list of adapters.

11 – Once your hack is up and running again, go to System Preferences --> Network and manually add the adapter you use to connect to the internet AND ALSO the fake Ethernet adapter. I've chosen DHCP and it "found" an IP address. Both are online now.

12 – Connect to the App Store and there you go.

And again, thank you very much RehabMan

Thanks for this, managed to get App Store sign in back after updating/fresh install of Sierra. Never posed a problem before, on EL Capitan and previous, App Store log in was always possible, for some reason Sierra made it more difficult.

At step "6 – Copy the file ssdt–rnme.aml included in to the folder "/Extra/". Rename it to ssdt.aml." all I did was copy the provided "ssdt–rnme.aml" to EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched (as you suggested later in the thread), rename it ssdt.aml, follow the rest and it was all good.

Could be an idea to amend the original post to include this later info?

Thanks again.
