Hi,
After 5 days of intense labour I managed to get my first hackintosh up and running. Hurray!
But WIFI is not working and I've been trying to fix it for about 14 days already and I'm out of options now, I've tried everything I could find but I guess I'm lacking knowledge and experience and it might be something simple to fix.
I've replaced the original Intel WIFI CNVi card for a Broadcom BCM94360NG which was supposed to work out of the box. Well, it didn't.
My setup:
- Bootloader OpenCore 0.5.9
- Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.5
- Gigabyte Aorus Z390i Pro WIFI
- Intel Core i7-9700F
- Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 8G
- Broadcom BCM94360NG (WIFI & Bluetooth)
Initially, I didn't have any broadcom kexts in the OpenCore kext folder as I thought it would work out of the box, but it didn't work. Then, I added the following kexts to the OC kext folder and later updated the config.plist file using ProperTree editor (with OC snapshot and then save).
- AirportBrcmFixup
- BrcmBluetoothInjector
- BrcmFirmwareData
- BrcmPatchRAM3
It didn't work, I can see the BT icon on the top menu bar but it's disabled (it says "no BT available"). System report doesn't show anything for BT and WIFI.
I then placed the following kexts inside Library/Extensions:
- BrcmBluetoothInjector
- BrcmFirmwareRepo
- BrcmPatchRAM3
- BrcmNonPatchRAM2 (also added, just in case)
But again, it didn't work. I searched on the interwebs and I found many disconnected sources, some very technical which I couldn't test, some really simple. I tested all I could, now I'm in need of help.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
C
