I've been having a problem with my High Sierra system often rebooting randomly on startup, and I've narrowed down the issue to some WiFi kexts I've installed. I'm using a TP-LINK WN951N WiFi card and I checked a thread here on tonymacx86 that mentioned the use of the attached zip of kexts (I installed the IONetworkingFamily IO80211Family kexts) and they seemed to work, allowing my system to detect my WiFi card and connect to WiFi. But the problem is, when I have them installed, I just get reboot after reboot when I try to boot into my Mac OS X disk (when I finally do successfully login I do have WiFi).
This leads me to believe there's something awry in the kexts themselves. The kexts look like they're a bit old for High Sierra. Is there any way for someone to verify that these kexts are compatible with High Sierra? Or is this just a hardware compability issue (the WN951N has an Atheros AR5008 chipset) in which case I would have to purchase a new WiFi card (and why can I connect to the internet right now)? Thanks in advance.
