Will my WiFi work?

"i don't know" is not a motherboard i have heard of before

You need to have your hardware profile filled out as per rules (the ones you agreed to when signing up here)

So my .plist/SMBIOS section is basically empty except for the model (currently 16,2). So two questions;

1) should I change the model based on my hardware (see sig)
2) What should I enter for a unique SN#? (it's currently blank)

Thanks

Thank you Rehabman for making this Hackintosh build and upkeep so remarkable!!!

I do have a couple of questions before I waist anyones time. I have a Qnap thunderbolt 3 to 10GbaseE adapter. When I boot to windows 10 it is picked up and works well. When I boot to OSX 10.14.2 it gets power but nothing else, and I don't show anything for thunderbolt device tree in System Report like I do on my 2018 Mac Mini. Should I? Is thunderbolt not working yet? I used Rehabman's install guide and keep running the scripts looking for updates to be installed to see if that makes any changes.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I can also do testing with a few devices.
Rehabman, if you want to pursue this I'm more than happy to send attachments. I would really like to have this working.
Cheers

Hi, I have encountered this kind of problem, have you solved it?

For me on board bluetooth was showing but not working properly, was not able to connect any bluetooth devices. And GBU521 IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter was also not working

Done below steps now GBU521 IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter is working fine.

1) disable port limit in XHCI kext (credit DalianSky,Ricky), Mount EFI using Clover Configurator open config.plist from /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover in text editor like Sublime and add below code in KextsToPatch section

<dict>
  <key>Comment</key>
  <string>disable port limit in XHCI kext (credit DalianSky,Ricky)</string>
  <key>MatchOS</key>
  <string>10.14.1,10.14.2</string>
  <key>Name</key>
  <string>com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI</string>
  <key>Find</key>
  <data>g/sPD4OPBAAA</data>
  <key>Replace</key>
  <data>g/sPkJCQkJCQ</data>
</dict>

2) Disable on board Bluetooth in BIOS (see attached photo for reference)
Devices > Onboard Devices > Bluetooth

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

Is there any way to get the built-in SD card reader in my NUC8 to work?

There's an 'unknown card type' "flag" in the top right of my screen (attached screen shot), wondering what it is? It's there every time I start the computer. If I choose 'power off card' I don't notice it having any effect. If it's nothing I'd like to get rid of it permanently.

Download attached Sinetek-rtsx.kext or download from https://github.com/sinetek/Sinetek-rtsx

Then run below commands in terminal (make sure working directory same where you downloaded Sinetek-rtsx.kext)

sudo cp -r Sinetek-rtsx.kext /Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -i /

reboot

My SD card reader is working now.

I'm getting constant crashes on my NUC8i5BEK. It seems to crash when I'm using image/video related things like looking through images and using teamviewer (or just have too many windows open.)

Is there some video kexts I'm missing? I thought I was thorough reading through the guide.

attached are some crash logs

I tried your suggestion. After that, the Internet will no longer work on the device. Once I put it back to the original settings (automatic) it works, but with ethernet drop outs every few minutes. Any suggestions for a usb-wifi alternative? Wired internet is at this point unreliable.

Greetings

I switched from a FritzBox 7362SL to a FritzBox 7590 last weekend. Wired ethernet seems stable now. Haven't had any drop outs since switching to the new router and I haven't changed any settings in the network settings.

For anyone who has successfully set up a WiFi and a Bluetooth combo card, can you please share settings? Also, do you find that Bluetooth still works after sleep? Thanks

how do you add EmuVariableUefi-64.efi to drivers64UEFI, I was able to follow the guide up to this point
