Hi Guys,
Further to my post in this thread here ...
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.104850/page-205#post-1336828
and my separate thread here ...
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/issue-with-5g-after-wifi-toggle-sleep.203378/#post-1337786
Regarding my issue of loosing full speed 5G AC WiFi after sleep/wake or WiFi On/Off toggle ....
After much searching and trawling i've finally found a solution posted on the alternate forum here ...
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292542-airport-pcie-half-mini/page-27#entry2243610
It would seem that the issue is related to the Clover patch to change the Country Code (CC) to FCC / US ... as i explained in my previous posts this did work and enabled 5G which would connect at 876bps on OSX boot up, however my AC WiFi speed would drop to 300bps after OSX sleep/wake or WiFi On/Off toggle. The only way to get full speed back was to reboot.
I'm guessing that it does not effect those of you in the US but i live in the UK .... so for anyone outside of the US who is having issues with 5G AC WiFi Speed setting CC to #a (local unknown) seems to resolve the AC re-connect speed issue.

It looks like the origin of this patch was on a Russian forum but was relayed to RM on the link above.
I've been suffering with this issue on all my Hacks which all have AW-CE123H WiFi/BT cards (laptops & desktops) ever since moving from the old Tolida Kext Injection methods (prior to Yosemite) so to finally find an solution is great .... I really think this should be added to the master guide as an alternate 5G patch for those outside of the US that have issues with FCC/US 5G patch.

The original patch for 5ghz w/ country code in post #1 is from the-darkvoid. It allows for the country code to be set correctly. The patch provided in post #1 is for the US (of course).
And yes... if your networking hardware uses a different country code, you must use the correct patch that matches... It is in post #1, but you have to dig a little.
@RM,
I think setting CC to #a somehow overides OSX Wifi CC / local checks .... I've tried quite a few different country codes (EU, GB, UK, EN, DE) over the last two years trying to resolve this issue ... many suggested personally to me by DarkVoid in posts in this thread... but they either suffered from the same issue as FCC/US or locked AC speed to 300mbs ...
Example ...

#a seems to be a special case which is why i think it should be mentioned in the main guide ..
Back when DarkVoid first sent me the #a code it didnt work after chaging WiFi SSID and then going back to 5G SSID but now it seems to work well ...
Cheers

OK, didn't realize you're proposing not a new patch, but rather a country code that is not mentioned in post #1 or related links.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I don't see it spelled out anywhere: to which file am I applying the whitelist patch? (Trying to get a BCM43224 working in Sierra, if it matters.)
RM,
Yes, the main guide is quite vague when it comes to Country codes despite several references to "See ROW/WiFi Country Code above" All that section actually has is a link to a base converter web page and does not make it clear about the importance of setting this for those of us outside of the US. I think this section should be expanded with some examples of using alternate CC codes and include the special case #a as a get out of jail for those users who continue to have issues with AC network speeds.
I'd forgotten about the #a hack until i came across the post to you from Ramalama mentioned in my last post ..
I should point out that I'm running 10.11.6 on my WiFi enabled systems ... I haven't felt the need update to Sierra yet as does not give any new features that i actually need or want ...
Cheers
Jay
