haydenwhite Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 @Jake Lo , I have followed your guide for the e7450 before. This particular one has the following specs: Intel Core i5-5300U Intel HD 5500 Graphics DW1830 WiFi/Bluetooth Card 8GB DDR3 RAM I can't seem to get my wifi to work. I have searched dozens of previous posts and can't find anything. I am experiencing ping's of up to 14000 (tested in terminal), and when wifi does work it is is at most .5 mbps. This isn't just after sleep, but all the time. Bluetooth, however, is working perfectly. I have attached problem reporting files. These Kext's are installed to EFI/Clover/kexts/other: ACPIBatteryManager AirportBrcmFixup AppleAHCIPort AppleALC AppleBacklightFixup ApplePS2Controller FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi FakePCIID FakeSMC IntelMausiEthernet Lilu USBPorts-Exx50 WhateverGreen then a thing called WhateverName The following kexts are installed to L/E: ASC6x ArcMSR ATTOCelerityFC8 ATTOExpressSASHBA2 ATTOExpressSASRAID2 BrcmFirmwareRepo BrcmPatchRAM2 CalDigitHDProDrv DisableTurboBoostBattery FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFI FakePCIID HighPointIOP HighPointRR PromiseSTEX SoftRAID Also, the battery life doesn't seem very long and I have a 40wh battery and the laptop is also running a bit hot, however, my main concern is one the WiFi right now. debug_25858.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydenwhite Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Wow, I am feeling kind of stupid now because that seemed like a pretty easy fix. Now, do you know if any of those kexts I listed were unneeded? Do you know anything about the battery life, getting multi-touch gestures to work, or a slightly longer boot time?

Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 24, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 24, 2019 I take it that that fixed the issue? Yes, all those kexts are necessary except BroadcomWiFiInjector.kext you had added in /S/L/E. That can be remove. You want to add longer boot time? Change the timeout from 0 to whatever you prefer in the Config file. Multi-touch, currently you should have 2 fingers scrolling and tab to drag, but that's about it. The current Alps kext doesn't work well for this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydenwhite Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 No, I meant that I was experiencing a longer boot time. I have the timeout at 0 in the config.plist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 24, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 24, 2019 what's your boot time? mine is about 12 sec and have set timeout to 2 because I have triple boot. That gives me time to select which MacOS to boot to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydenwhite Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 A little more than a minute maybe. I am using a 7200RPM HDD though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 24, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 24, 2019 Pretty much the norm on a traditional mechanical HDD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
