spikar Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 firstly, thanks for the support on this forum. Following the instructions to get Sierra 10.12.6 working on my Dell E7470, everything has been a smooth run pre and post installation. my only problem is Network. Nothing is showing up when plugged in... Doesn't seem to recognise any connection and everything in 'System Preferences > Network' is blank. I've ordered a DW1560 which is currently on it's way - however would also like to solve this so I can have a choice of wifi or plugged in. Any help?

black.dragon74 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Anyone can't help you without proper diagnostic report.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 4, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2017 There's also 2 different bootpacks. To determine which one you should use, boot to Clover, hit F4 to extract the raw files. This is done silently. Now continue OS X, mount the EFI partition. Check /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Origin. Count the numbers of SSDT-xxx.aml If 14, use the alternate bootpack, if 15, then use the regular bootpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
