Layman's guide to access Mac App Store with NullEthernet.kext

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hello all,
I recovered an old macbook air but apparently wifi card is broken and not detected.
I followed your guide but in order to gain access to the app store but cannot seem to make it work.
I have installed the .kext using the kext wizard, and tried patching the ssdt using maciassl. I repeated this process several times but however the null ethernet never appears in the network settings panel. Also, where should I find the /Extra folder for the ssdt method?

Thank you in advance,
JC

You would need to use a hackintosh bootloader on your Mac in order to patch ACPI...
 
Thank you very much RehabMan.
I installed clover and was able to access the AppStore and update my OS X to Sierra.
However, after the update the fake ethernet is no longer appearing. I tried repeating the process but clover failed to install.
Do you have any advice or guide into solving the problem?
Thank you very much again for your help and great work with the nullethernet.
Chrs,

Would need standard "Problem Reporting" files...

Attach ioreg as ZIP: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

Provide output (in Terminal):
Code:
kextstat|grep -y acpiplat
kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu
kextstat|grep -y applelpc
kextstat|grep -y applehda

Attach EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (press F4 at main Clover screen before collecting). Please eliminate 'themes' directory. Provide only EFI/Clover, not the entire EFI folder.

Attach output of (in Terminal):
Code:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

Compress all files as ZIP. Do not use external links. Attach all files using site attachments only.
 
Hi I've followed the guide to installing NullEthernet but still do not get the option to add the fake ethernet.
I did have it working on Yosemite but have since upgraded to El Capitan and cannot seem to get it working.
I have attached the output from terminal commands and have put the clover folder in there also.
Please let me know if you need anymore info.
Thanks for the help

Clover bootlog (extracted from ioreg) shows DSDT.aml not loading.
Conclusion: You're not booting from the EFI/Clover you provide here.
Without patched DSDT.aml with RMNE object in it, no catalyst to load NullEthernet.kext.

Investigate why you're not booting from the Clover folder you think you are.
 
IS it possible I need to change a setting in clover configurator and save the config.plist?

EDIT:
I figured it out.
I was posting the /EFI/CLOVER from the COMPUTER/ELCAPITAN
I realised I should have mounted EFI partition and add the SSDT.aml to /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
Once I did that I could add the fake ethernet and now app store is working.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Hi,
i am desperately trying to enable appstore on an asus x305f which does not have a native wifi adapter nor an ethernet adapter.
i installed the 2 kexts, built 3 days ago but can not see the nullethernet device as an option to add when i try to add a device in network properties.
attached files contain the output of ioreg and clover and output of the terminal commands requested in previous posts
