Hey all,

I need your help.
Recently I installed an authentic Apple Airport card (Broadcom BCM94331CD) on my Hackintosh together with a PCI-E adapter card.
It worked OOB, without any added kexts or additional settings, so I was initially very happy.

However, I soon realised that the computer would just not go to sleep. Or to be precise, it would sleep but would wake up again immediately.

I checked all the possible suggestions online.

1. I followed Rehabman's guide for creating a custom SSDT for USBInjectAll, disabling all unused USB ports, giving proper names etc.
2. I installed the AirportBrcmFixup kext together with the appropriate kexts for bluetooth etc for my card.
3. I extracted the computer's DSDT and went through it, deleting all PWR instances and saved as custom DSDT to EFI/Clover partition.
4. As #3 had no effect I went through DSDT again changing the PWR hex values to various suggestions.

Nothing worked. The computer stubbornly refuses to stay asleep.

NOTES:
- Wake reason is always XHC. I know this refers to USB activity but it is 100% an issue with the wifi card. When I remove the card the computer sleeps perfectly, every single time.
- The computer is running MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 and everything else is working 100%.
- Up until I installed the card, sleep & shutdown were working fine.
- I can get the computer to stay asleep by deleting the com.apple.airport.preferences file in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder and selecting Turn WiFi Off from the settings panel. By doing this the wifi card is simply sitting there doing nothing; no selected network connection.
If I leave it like that it will sleep perfectly (but of course there is no internet).

What could be the issue here? I'll follow up with all relevant files and outputs as per Rehabman's instructions on other similar threads.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Nick
 
If you have already assigned the USB port type to be 255, then it's possible you have a defective AirPort card. I experienced the exact same issue with a BCM94360CDAX. I replaced the card with a new one while using the same PCI-e adaptor and sleep immediately worked.
 
That would be the only thing I'd wish wouldn't be the case; it took a while to source this card off the net and I don't really want to have to pay more money for this.

Let's see if we can get anywhere with this though; here are the system files and logs.

NullCPUPowerManagement definitely won't help with sleep. I'm surprised you had sleep working prior to installing the card with this kext...

Also, coreaudiod seems to be preventing sleep.
 
Update:

Previously I noticed that the kext output was complaining that the FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext was not loading due to being a different version to the FakePCIID.kext. I got the latest kexts from Rehabman and after rebooting all the kexts are loading properly (as shown above in the last terminal section).

Now, when I do a pmset I get:

Previously the only kernel assertions were my USB 3.0 card reader, my keyboard and the mouse.
Now on top of these three I also get a BRCM20702 Hub (the WiFi card?) and a USB 2.0 CRW -which is probably the integrated card reader of the computer which never worked with MacOS.

First of all, thanks for your help. I removed the NullCPUPowerManagement kext, cleared caches & reboot but still nothing. Goes to sleep and wakes up immediately.

I'm not sure why coreaudiod is listed as preventing sleep... Is your bluetooth connected to speakers or something? Does the system sleep if nothing is paired to Bluetooth?
 
I have no idea why coreaudiod would be preventing sleep.
As I say, the computer is sleeping happily if I remove the Apple Airport card without any other changes.

The bluetooth is embedded in the wifi card itself. I say this because I've seen cards that need an internal usb connection to the BT for it to work. This has none.
If it helps, the card is this one:

www.ebay.com

The bluetooth is not connected to anything; I never use it. And, no, the system will not sleep bluetooth or not.

I'm assuming you are using one of these cards with a mini-PCI adaptor such as:

These cards have USB D+ and D- connections that need to be connected to a USB port.

The adaptor card is this:

There are no USB connectors on it. Again, I don't mind at all; I don't use the bluetooth anyway, but as I said the Bluetooth seems to be present and functioning.
