who is OP?Further update, I managed to patch my Clover's config.plist with the patch from OP, I still get some KPs mainly while restarting/shutting down or on logins.

As you were noticed, using my workaround, you only have problems when booting/shutting down, not when you’re using the WiFi connection, eg: downloading file.Further update, I managed to patch my Clover's config.plist with the patch from OP, I still get some KPs mainly while restarting/shutting down or on logins.

On another note, I am curious to understand more about the relationship between the standard MacOS kexts (i.e. IO80211Family.kext) and AirportBrcmFixup.kext.
The readme for AirportBrcmFixup seems to imply this card (DW1820a) is natively supported, so I wonder whether there is a way to bypass the native kexts to avoid the KPs...
Anywhere I can read more about this?
Thanks

To be honest, I haven’t test my patch when machine sleep/wake up, since I never sleeping my laptop.

To reach your goal, many technical skills were needed, and your stated question and the method you take for that question may be changed after you learning the foundamental infomation related. So go a further research, and try to understand what cause KP happen, why it happens, and so on....My questions were generic and not related to this patch. Obviously it would be much better if there was a solution which did not involve changing any kext in /S/L/E replacing them with an older version. It could also become a problem with newer version of MacOS.

After doing those, you can finally decide whether a /S/L/E hack were enough or it really need programming / hacking something.
Post #1 containing info I were explored sine the year 2016... One can learn from it, then spread his mind into other related article in this forum....
10.14.2 goes unstable because the IO80211Family kext for Mojave gets reinstalled you have to disable the card then update and remove the io80211family kext once again. Especially if you put the io80211family kext from Yosemite into the /L/E/ folder because it remains there after the upgrade. Im currently running 10.14.2 with the card still and it works fine. I found the mavericks IO80211family kext works as well and it doesn't cause forced reboots. Ill post it when I get a moment. Or just look on the internet for it Not mavericks Im sorry El Capitain 10.11
BTW I also got the card working with the Mojave APBCM4360 kext by adding the subset vendor and id number in place of the normal one. So on my card the main string is pci14e4,43a3 and the sub vendor is 1028 with the sub ID being 0023 and if I add it to the plist file of the Mojave 4360 kext in place of 43a3 as pci1028,23 (dropping the zeros) then the card begins working but then experiences a complete takeover of my cpu usage after a half hour or so. Its weird.
