[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

My Z490 Vision D, however, has the problem. Its WiFi does not work, but its Ethernet ports continue to work.

I will troubleshoot on the Z490 Vision D. I have already extracted all the kexts from 13.2 and 13.3. Next, I need to compare the right files.

Interim update:

• Broadcom firmware files were updated between macOS 13.2 and 13.3
  • BCMWLANFirmware43xx_Hashstore.kext
• The main Broadcom kext has undergone a fair amount of change between macOS 13.2 and 13.3
  • IO80211FamilyLegacy

However, because Intel WiFi and both 1GbE and 2.5GbE Ethernet ports are also affected on many Gigabyte Z390/Z490 systems, the problem might be in a common parent of these networking drivers.

** Update on WiFi and Ethernet Issues in macOS 13.3 **
Glimmer of Hope​

Further investigation shows conclusively that a change made in IOPCIFamily.kext is responsible for the WiFi and Ethernet problems we're experiencing in macOS 13.3.

The change was introduced in one of the late beta builds. In other words, macOS 13.3 beta builds 1, 2 and 3 work properly. I haven't checked all of the subsequent beta builds.

We expect Apple to post the source code for IOPCIFamily to their open source website soon. Then it should be possible to isolate the problem and create a patch.

I have manually inserted IOPCIFamily from an early 13.3 beta build into a late 13.3 beta build, and everything is working normally again.

Here's my Z490 Vision D with WiFi restored in 13.3 late beta build:

Is there an updated dual boot manual? The old link I had bookmarked seems to not work? Trying to get windows onto this already hackintosh

This is actually quite easy to do:

Windows 10:

• Boot macOS first and format the Windows SSD in Disk Utility:
  • Name: Anything
  • Format: ExFAT
  • Scheme: GUID Partition Map
• Shutdown the computer
• Physically disconnect all macOS SSDs -- yes we have to do this
• Create USB install disk for Windows 10 using Windows "Media Creation Tool"
• Boot the USB install disk and follow the installation Wizard

Windows 11:

• Boot macOS first and format the Windows SSD in Disk Utility:
  • Name: Anything
  • Format: ExFAT
  • Scheme: GUID Partition Map
• Create USB install disk for Windows 11 using Windows "Media Creation Tool"
• Boot the USB install disk and follow the installation Wizard
  • When you reach the screen that asks which disk to install Windows onto, be sure to select the ExFAT disk
  • To be 100% safe, you can also shutdown the computer and physically disconnect all macOS disks (optional in Windows 11, but necessary in Windows 10)

When Windows is installed, reconnect macOS disks and go to BIOS Setup -> Boot section. Then change Boot Priority #1 to the OpenCore disk.

I'll probably do Windows 11- Do I need a windows computer to run and create this USB install disk? Or does the install work while im on my MacOS?

Windows Media Creation Tool requires Windows. It might work if you install Windows in a VM like VMWare Fusion.

Once it's made how do I get it to install on the new SSD (for windows)? Do i just plug in and let it run through the BIOS?

Just try it. The Windows installation wizard will guide you. You can also Google for any questions.

Unfortunately I don’t like Windows! Detailed Windows discussion is a bit off-topic for this thread.

Haha fair!

Side question- if I upgrade my GPU on my hackintosh, do I need to go into BIOS for anything or should be a seamless integration?

Nothing unfortunate in there, IMHO.

Congratulations for the good detective job to identify the culprit.
