BluetoothIsNotAvailable Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Hi, I recently picked up a DW1820 CN-0VW3T3 which acutally has the PCI ID 1028:0021. I put it into my Dell XPS 13 9360, Clover Patched the compatible string to pci14e4,4353 and rebooted. Wifi gets recognized just fine and I can connect to Wifi, but there are major issues after a couple of minutes, at first the wifi will briefly disconnect and reconnect again, but after two or tree times the kernel task will go crazy, and the whole os grinds to a halt (first IO Operations struggle, then everything else will have issues, too). I am using the-darkvoids config from here: https://github.com/the-darkvoid/XPS9360-macOS (delted the AirportBrcmFixup and USB Inject all kexts) I tried all the compatible strings that float around the forum here and also tried AirportBrcmFixup with bootoptions brcmfx-driver=1 and 2. The fixup kext makes things worse for me (crashes earlier). The strange thing is I can't even get the bluetooth to work correctly. With the BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext in /Library/Extensions Bluetooth turns on and shows devices, but "crashes" when trying to connect to any of them (switches to not connected immediately). Is there anything funky going on with my DSDT pachtes or something? Help from the master @Hervé would be greatly appreciated. debug_29963.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matey Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hi, im having the same Card with same problems. I too send all the files to @Hervé, maybe he can figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted June 30, 2019 Administrators Share Posted June 30, 2019 Guys, 1st of all, check that the reported MAC address in the OS matches that of the label on the card. If it does not, well, I'm beggining to suspect that there are false or dodgy DW1820A cards being offered on the market (like there used to be for Apple's own BCM94360CD)... If all looks Ok, then please try the pin masking. That's it. Nothing further to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluetoothIsNotAvailable Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 The Mac Adress matches the label. I tried the pin masking out of curiosity and the card immediately stopped acting up. It was detected and working even without your "compatible" patch. But with or without patches it only detects 2.4GHz networks and the bluetooth is still weird, it sometimes works fine and sometimes it won't connect to anything successfully. Do you spot something wrong with my USB config? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 1, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 1, 2019 You may lookup Muttonhead411's thread re: Bluetooth. Work was done on that yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluetoothIsNotAvailable Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 I tried modifying the kexts which changed nothing for me, strangely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluetoothIsNotAvailable Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Okay, adding "OSBundleRequired string Root" fixes the connection issues. Now I am having the same problems as @muttonhead411 in the other thread, the audio stutters and bluetooth will disconnect on idle. Doesn't matter which of the two firmwares you ( @Hervé ) posted I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
