i have a high sierra install that HAS workeds flawless with a wifi card(tp-link T6e) for half a year.
SUDDENLY it stoped working, saying invalid pass. Ive got a usb with a ubuntu on and it can connect to the Router without isues.
Tryed to schwitc wifi-channel ... NO luck. tryed to removeve the network configuration .... NO LUCK.
any one with an idea ?

The TP-Link T6E uses a Broadcom BCM4360 chip, so it should theoretically work without the need for any patches or config.plist fixes.
  1. You need to remove any patches or fixes you have tried implementing to fix this issue.
  2. You should then add AirportBrcmFixup.kext to your /CLOVER/kexts/Other folder, copy of the kext is attached.
  3. You then need to add brcmfx-driver=1 boot argument to your config.plist to force the correct driver/kext to load.
    • 0 - AirPortBrcmNIC-MFG,
    • 1 - AirPortBrcm4360,
    • 2 - AirPortBrcmNIC,
    • 3 - AirPortBrcm4331
See if that helps.

I have never heard of the AirportBrcmFixup kext and boot argument removing the WiFi device. Not without the user doing something that is fundamentally wrong.

When i install the Air.....Fixup kext and aplie the boot-arg in clover. it make my wifi (No hardware installed)

The boot argument needs to be added to the Boot section of the config.plist, as shown in the screenshot below (viewed in Clover Configurator):
