[Guide] Lenovo ThinkPad T440S [OpenCore 0.6.3]

[CoBrA2168]

Has anyone managed to get Wake On Lan (WOL) working with this machine? I managed to get it working on my desktop hackintosh which uses the same ethernet driver (IntelMausiEthernet.kext) but I can't get it working on this machine.

To get it working properly on my other machine, I had to install it to /L/E instead of using injection. Once I did that, it worked as intended. I tried the same on my T440s but it doesn't seem to work either way.

@Sniki - I noticed you have AppleBacklightSmoother.kext in the latest files. Does this provide any sort of benefit over the previous method we were using with the legacy Clover install? I hope you're staying healthy and doing well!!

@CoBrA2168 i think on today's release for this month IntelMausi.kext got support for the WakeOnLAN on i219 series (if our Lan cards belong to this family).

See here for more details:

Release 1.0.5 · acidanthera/IntelMausi

v1.0.5 Merged changes from 2.5.3d1 Updated e1000e sources from Linux upstream branch Solved high-load throttling problem for I219 family Add support for new I219 Cannon-Point family devices I219-...

github.com

As for AppleBacklightSmoother.kext i will remove it since i haven't seen any difference with or without it.

Thanks for the update (and hopefully you're personally doing well!).

It looks like our machine uses the I218 series of ethernet chips (source: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T440s/ThinkPad_T440s_Spec.PDF) so this might not fix it. I had success with WOL on my desktop but as mentioned, I had to install to /L/E to get it to work. I can try again with the latest release here, but this did not work with the last release on our machines. As a reminder: I'm still on Mojave / Clover

Thanks, Yes, we are all negative now, we are finished with Covid-19 finally and everyone is doing great and none of us had any trouble, just like a standard flu, nothing more or less.

Hmm, interesting but try one thing, if you still haven't done any modification of your Clover setup with my latest files.
Try this and see if WOL works:
Grab the SSDT-IGBE.aml from the repository and add it to your Patched Folder.

Remove _PRW ACPI patch for instant wake as it won't be necessary anymore thanks to that one.

Give WOL a try and see if it works for you (including latest IntelMausi released today).

Glad to hear you're healthy. My family also went through COVID back in September but we're healthy now, thank goodness.

I'll give that combination a shot and see what happens. I'll give the kext a shot from acidanthera too - up until now, I've been using the latest development, official version from Mieze (https://github.com/Mieze/IntelMausiEthernet).

An iDiot's Guide To iMessage

Actually this is less of a guide and more of an explanation of the procedures that I use in my own builds in order to enable access to the App Store, iMessage and FaceTime. Do not be offended by the term 'iDiot', it is not intended as an insult but more my attempt at a humorous play on words...

I tried once again. I can check everything in the The TLDR checklist.
I made a clean install with new serial and so on. I even made a fresh apple id for this time. Still I get message that I need to connect to costumer support.
Only thing is what I don't understand is the NVRAM part of config.plist, maybe there is something not right?
Like I understand we can't reset NVRAM with this laptop, or we will loose BIOS?
