[Success] WORKING Intel Wifi Drivers for 7265AC on Catalina

[sneitzel]

I got it to load one time my new desktop machine. I logged into my WIFI network, browsed the internet and everything seemed fairly stable. After reboot, it will not load. I run the commands in terminal and get an error from the kextload step. It seems now it cannot find all of the needed libraries.

The same happened to me. The only way I can get it to load now is to run the kextload command from the same folder that the kext is in. Just having the path to the kext doesn't work.

wow, it cool, it will try it for my gigabyte b360n wifi motherboard tonight.

Is this supposed to work on 6 series cards?

It works on 8265. 5g is slow, 2g works with hiccups. It’s proof that it can work, but not something I could recommend enough for daily use. Just to mention that I had KP until kext for wn823n was removed. Also, sometimes sound on headphones is weird when kext is loaded. Anyhow great job.

So are you saying in terminal you need to CD to the folder where the kext is first then run kextload?

EDIT:
I'm still getting the following error from kextload.

Should the kext in post 1 be referencing com.apple.iokit.IO80211FamilyV2 ???
Specifically, the V2 part?
I did at one point try to load the V2 version of the kext.

No

Because your IO80211Family.kext is not for 10.15.x, version 1200.12.2 is bundled with 10.14.x

Restore 10.15.x stock IO80211Family.kext (1200.12.2b1) first.

You are running macOS 10.15 - Catalina? This is only for Catalina, not Mojave or earlier.
