<< Solved >> WiFi won't auto connect (BCM94360CS2) Big Sur - O.C 0.6.4

[molko1234]

I installed a MacBook Air wifi card (BCM94360CS2) with a PCIE adaptor to my Hackintosh, when the system boots it won't auto connect to my home network. When I select my home network it connects straight away without requesting the password so it's not a big issue, just annoying. Other than this issue it works flawless, bluetooth works, wifi works, all continuity features seem to work.


Things I've tried

-removing all network settings from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
-making sure "auto join this network" selected in system settings
-deleting the wifi entry and reconnect entering the password again
-brand new clean install of Big Sur

As far as I know my USB is all mapped correctly and all correct kexts installed (none needed for this wifi card)

Any help much appreciated

It turns out the issue was caused by RTCMemoryFixup.kext

I had installed RTCMemoryFixup.kext and the relevant boot arg to fix an issue whereby on every reboot the BIOS would post in safe mode and require pressing F1 to enter setup.

Removing RTCMemoryFixup.kext fixed the wifi issue - it now auto connects to known wifi

in config.plist setting "DisableRtcChecksum" True & "rtc-blacklist" 5859 fixed the issue of BIOS posting in safe mode

Marked as solved
