Thanks for helping RehabMan, hoping you can help me get this card working as it should.

Any ideas on what to do are greatly appreciated.

You forgot to press F4 in Clover (ACPI/origin files are too old to compare against ACPI/patched).
Please read "Problem Reporting" carefully.

Did you patch your DSDT yourself?
There seems to be a lot of unnecessary changes.

It is the DSDT downloaded from the TonyMacx86 database, the only thing I added was speedstep and changed some things in the HDEF that I read on a forum to get audio working properly.

I would make my own if I knew how to do the edits, but I haven't found a good resource that explains in detail to the uninitiated noob, they all seem to be geared toward those that know what to do already or at least understand it better.

The changes I have made to the DSDT are documented here once I find they work, kind of notes for me to reference as much as possibly help someone else if they need it.

You should patch DSDT yourself.
In fact, try without patched DSDT to see if it resolves your WiFi issue.

These are the results of no DSDT, also noticeably slower.

Booting with DSDT.aml entry removed from clover, pre-boot.


Zip file contains results after moving DSDT and SSDT files from ACPI/patched to Desktop.

How do you have an ioreg, if you can't boot?
Panic is likely due to one or more of the "Fixes" in config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Fixes.
Note also DropOem=true and Generate/CStates|Pstates=false will leave you with no CPU related SSDTs, which will also cause problems.

It booted after removing the DSDT and SSDT files, specifically the wifi patch SSDT that caused the panic, didn't realize it cut that part off when I was trying to get a clear image.

Can you link me to some really good DSDT guides so I don't break everything?

Also wifi still has the hollow symbol and will not turn on.

Why are you using a "WiFi patch SSDT"?
Or are you referring to the SSDT that I provided that injects an ACPI identity? (I would not consider that a "patch SSDT").
That SSDT likely needs changes as patched DSDT may have had different ACPI paths than native.

Your hardware is quite old.
Old enough that I don't have any experience with it.
