[solved] Wi-Fi Issue DELL Inspiron 3000

[tobia97]

Hello, my wifi/bt card is the bcm94352z I am having trouble getting it to work on my dell Inspiron 15 3567.
I have installed (using kextbeast) to Library/Extensions the latest version of
FakePCIID.kext
FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext
BrcmFirmwareData.kext
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
Also here attached is my config.plist
The very strange thing is that the card worked fine for a couple days and now, despite wifi is still detected I cannot activate it in my settings.
I have tested it on Windows and everything seems fine there.

Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Remove all patches for Airport from your config.plist (none required).
Why do you not have 10.13.4 installed?

ACPI not patched. See guide:

I just got the laptop working so I didn't know if I should have updated it or not.
Do you think I should?
I am still trying to learn how to work with DSDT and SSDTS but this is my first laptop Hackintosh so I don't know very well how to do it.
Should I also remove the "com.apple.iokit.IOBluetoothFamily" patch?

From where did you download macOS?
On what hardware did you create your USB installer?

from the Apple store on a MacBook Air

If you just got started, which is what you state, you would have downloaded 10.13.4?
So why is your system not running 10.13.4?

Should I also remove the "com.apple.iokit.IOBluetoothFamily" patch?

It is also not needed, but this thread is titled "WiFi...", so I didn't address any non-WiFi issues you may have...

I think it's because the copy that was on the MacBook Air was an old one. Should I update then? how will I get my wifi/bt card working once I have 10.13.4?

You should probably update... IMHO, no reason to run old code.

Did you patch ACPI correctly yet?
