muttonhead411 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 I'm keen to try it on my machine and see the results as well. What should I be copying from the EFI folder though? @Hervé @DalianSky any guidance? I might not be experienced enough to wing it yet ha...

Administrators Hervé Posted May 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 22, 2019 Not much guidance needed, come on! Inject or cache AirportBrcmFixup kext and add those 2 x boot options visible in DalianSky's Clover config. That's the only things that differ, the properties injection detailed in my guide are otherwise strictly identical. I'm now testing this with my CN-096JNT model which caused issue usual overload/freeze issues when initially tested in my 7490. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted May 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 22, 2019 Well, it's been over 20mins and the CN-096JNT has not killed the laptop. That's a huge difference! However, it's not entirely kosher because, in that period of time, I experienced 2 x wireless disconnections accompanied brief and partial system freezes until the wireless reconnected automatically. During the short freeze, my external USB mouse was unresponsive but my TouchPad was still active. Will have to look in the longer term and, possibly, just remove the brcmfx-country=#a option I went with. To be continued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted May 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 22, 2019 Behaviour is identical with or without the brcmfx-country boot option and whether declaring compatibility with Broadcom card 14e4:4353 or 14e4:4331. I've been using the CN-096JNT card for well over 1hr now and, apart from those odd brief disconnections, all is Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted May 22, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 22, 2019 It's a pity... Now let's wait for muttonhead411's tests feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttonhead411 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 @Hervé I have good news to report. I'm seeing similar results that you're experiencing. Wifi no longer kills the laptop, and has been running pretty consistently for the past hour. I did see the same symptoms as you did - brief disconnect and random freeze occasionally, but it smoothens out pretty quickly soon after Definitely needs a little more testing and observation, but promising results at the least. The top wifi speeds are a little lower than expected though (30Mbps capped, my home network is capable of much faster speeds...), wondering if this is normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted May 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 23, 2019 Glad that you're experiencing the same as I did; it's consistent. Regarding speed, I guess it'll depend on whether your wireless network is setup for DFS, 5GHz, etc. I'm getting connections to my 5GHz network at 867Mbps consistently with the various cards I've tested, then my Internet speed tests cap at 300Mbps which is the limit of my fibre subscription. Therefore, all is well on that front. NB: Let's keep this thread on-topic. If you have other issues, please open up a separate thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtv1234 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It's weird that mine doesn't work even though it also has a subsystem id of 23 this card is so quirky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttonhead411 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 @wtv1234 in case you did anything differently, i did 2 specific steps only (via injection): 1) place AirportBrcmFixup to Clover/Kext/Others 2) add boot option brcmfx-driver=1 via clover configurator 3) Reboot If i did anything beyond this, the system would not boot... Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
