Does this sound familiar to anyone? So here I have my main work horse (7700K, Gigabyte H270N-Wifi, Samsung 970 EVO M2 SSD, GTX 1070). Up until recently it was all working with a Samsung 850 EVO S-ATA SSD and macOS 10.13.6. I am using a native WLAN solution, specifically a BCM94360CS2 card in an NGFF->M2 adapter that is connected to the built-in antennas. All of that worked fine. No Broadcom or WLAN related tweaks required, as expected.
I now did a clean installation of macOS 10.13.6 onto a Samsung 970 EVO M2 SSD. That worked fine but now I get the problem that I can't switch on WLAN in System Preferences. The "on" button just does nothing. In System Profiler however the WLAN hardware is showing up just fine at en0 (Bluetooth at en1, Ethernet at en2). Ethernet works. Bluetooth works (like conntecting to my smart phone or using Bluetooth tethering to get onto the internet).
The only thread I can find is this. Do I really have to go and tape over some pins on the card? I'd rather have a software solution. I tried using Clover option (x) FixAirport + AirportBrcmFixup but that gave me kernel panics at startup ("ACPI Error: 6 table load failures, 3 successful"). In that thread they are also talking about kext injects but reading that I am more confused than before. Which kext am I supposed to install? They all sound the same to me?
