@finalflash that may be the case for your card, but it very likely may not be. Without going into the technical details, that 3rd antenna is only present on the 3 stream cards, not the 2 stream cards. Generally speaking, an additional element in the phased array is what allows for the better...

@devilofspades did you read and follow what I said in post #51 in this thread? If not, do so, as I describe how to get macos to understand the memory. Not sure why you'd have a problem with Linux, as it should pick up the module just fine, but fixing the memory info as I described (based on...

@finalflash where did you end up placing the antennae and what kind of signal strength and speeds are you seeing? I'm tempted to try to figure out a solution to use the antennae LG built in, which I assume are in lid somewhere, but I don't recall seeing IPEX connectors to the module, so it's...

That would be nice, as it would remove the need for a BT dongle. Still waiting to hear how that m.2 wifi card thing happened...that'd be a neat trick to pull off...wifi and bt with no dongles at all!

Sounds about right. This definitely sounds like a firmware/other vendor-supplied code upload/initialization kext is required, which the Linux driver clearly has. I believe @RehabMan and/or @toleda have been involved (along with others) in getting broadcom uploads like this to work in the past...

@finalflash What adapter and antennae did you use to get the card to work? @devilofspades I use a TP-Link AC600 USB dongle, as I need to figure out how viable m.2 WiFi is, given the slots are M key (socket 3) and WiFi is A/E key (socket 1). Once you install the driver from their site, it's...

@mikhailt I think buying it at Costco might have been worth it, if I were guaranteed the 512GB NVMe drive, but the current deal is $1500 for a 15" i7 with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB drive (probably SATA, as they usually are on LG Grams), so that's more money for a smaller display. Of course, right...

Works fine for me, but I didn't use Unibeast or Multibeast. I simply installed Clover, then cleaned up everything I didn't need and copied @rdmitry0911's Clover config and kexts. I've since cleaned up the config.plist to remove unused patches and to configure a couple of items. I do plan to...

I'm subscribed to the thread, since I've posted to it, so if I'm on here and see I have notifications or look at updates in my email, I'll see that you posted to the thread and I'll check in. Please do update on whether you get an NVMe install working and the details of the Costco deal, as I'm...

Good thing I didn't hear that before I tried it, otherwise I might have listened. Not sure why it'd be a problem to have a mix. It works fine on desktops, and there's no warnings anywhere that I've seen not to mix them on the Gram. The only thing I'd say is to make sure you put the NVMe in...

Just to update, I did look at ioreg and the keyboard is definitely PS/2. Unfortunately, VoodooPS2Controller registers an ApplePS2MouseDevice, whether or not your system has a matching device, and I believe that's what causes the weird trackpad hiccups (I've read in the past in other threads...

@Bobrz I didn't have to do anything to get the trackpad to work. It's an I2C trackpad, so it should work just fine, provided you're using the correct kexts (VoodooI2C and VoodooI2CHID). Make sure you have used the last Clover config zip file, not the first one, as the original one didn't have...

@Bobrz No problem. Sorry I didn't have a chance to get back to you earlier. OS X won't let you use an external drive as a system drive. It's been that way for a loooong time. To make a drive bootable, simply install Clover onto it. Make sure you clone your Clover config to the drive you...

Okay, make that an essentially fully working system. I needed to download the driver for my TPLink T2U Nano to get WiFi working, but now everything is working great, with the limitations noted earlier in the thread. I also can't get Messages/FaceTime working (despite checking all the usual...

As a bit of an update for @Bobrz and others still struggling, one thing I've discovered is that you need (or at least *I* needed) to use a m.2 SATA drive, not an M.2 NVMe drive for your initial install. It's taken me a month, but I finally have an at least partially working system, and I'm...
