[Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2

[toleda]

run into kernel panics and had to restart from the beginning several times.

Missed: Post #1/Airport/WiFi Injection Methods (10.12/10.11/10.10 - all versions, select one method...

One method installed on top of another always produces unexpected results. Remove the ssdt, install native IO80211Family.kext and remove all WiFi patches that do not apply to 10.12 including country code and whitelist. Restart.

Reply with new files.

@toleda Per your reply I did the following:

1. Removed the ssdt.aml from the patched folder.
2. Installed the original IO80211Family.kext that I had backed up.
3. Removed all patches in the KextsToPatch section of my config.plist file that didn't begin with 10.12.
4. Restarted.

Attached are the files based on these changes.

i have a question related to High Sierra
The Country Code #a Patch from Ramalama doesn't seem to work on High Sierra PB3:

Name: AirPortBrcm4360
Find: 4183fcff 742c48
Replace: 66c70623 61eb2b
Comment: 10.11-BCM94352-CC=#a-Ramalama

in System Report > Wi-Fi > Country Code US
it was working fine on Sierra.
Is there a new patch out for that ?

Never used the patch. Not surprising. Contact Ramalama.

Nothing happens. I've tried turning it on from the menu bar and from the network settings. Nothing seems to happen when I click "Turn Wi-Fi On". Could it be related to the bluetooth issue?

 

[toleda]

Nothing seems to happen

Attach a screenshot of System Preferences/Network/WiFi with WiFi turned on.

Hi @toleda

When I open System Preferences > Network > WiFi and click the "Turn Wi-Fi On" button, the Network Name flashes but stays inactive. Nothing else happens. Attached is the screen shot requested AFTER I've clicked the "Turn Wi-Fi On" button.

Thoughts?
