[Solved] TP-Link TL-WN881ND on El Capitan

[starchild2]

Hi,

I have an almost perfect El Capitan build based on http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/s...s-viii-gene-i5-6600k-gigabyte-gtx-950.181272/ but wireless network is not working.

I have TP-Link TL-WN881ND N300 300Mbps 2.4GHz PCI Express Wireless WiFi network card and am wondering what the best patch is for it?

I'm hesitant to break this lovely build, so any input is well received.

Thanks.

Solved by doing the following;

Open the file /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros40.kext/Contents/Info.plist as sudo with a decent text editor (nano, vi, ...) and add <string>pci168c,2d</string><string>pci168c,2e</string> so it looks like


<string>pci168c,30</string>
<string>pci168c,2a</string>
<string>pci106b,0086</string>
<string>pci168c,1c</string>
<string>pci168c,23</string>
<string>pci168c,24</string>
<string>pci168c,2d</string>
<string>pci168c,2e</string>


I think it was the pci168c,2d that worked for me.

Remember to clear cache / fix permissions etc.

I just upgraded to High Sierra from El Capitan and worked a charm again. At first it didn't but then i read my reminder note to clear cache etc (I use kext utility) , rebooted and all good.

Hi everyone

I need some help. I recently succeeded to install El Capitan with Clover on a new disk and I'm happy because the sound work perfectly with an usb adapter. But impossible to make the internet work.
I have the built-in ethernet connection with a netgear wifi adapter connected on it and a TP-Link wifi 851nd card. None works.

I have installed AppleIntel1000e.kext from multibeast and IO80211 family patched for TP-link (works on the YOS HDD).

Any idea ?
