[Solved] Inspiron 15 3558: no Ethernet, no audio under Mojave

I do have the same specs but, I'm not sure why it isn't working, I got the audio to work however by adding the AppleALC.kext to the kext folder in Clover, I configured the .plist file to boot with the argument alcid=3 and both audio and microphone work fine. On the other hand the Ethernet is not working at all, i think it has the Realtek RTL8111G-US but im not certain, i tried adding the RealtekRTL8111.kext with no luck, i'm currently using a USB tethered connection to use WiFi on the laptop, but i still want Ethernet functionality.

You are not using the files you posted on the 1st post.

AppleALC and RealtekRTL8100.kext are in the kext/Other folder as well.

RealtekRTL8111.kext is wrong.

Use the files in the 1st post should get everything working. 

You probably missed a step to copy the files from the USB installer to the installed EFI partition after installing Clover

Ok so I copied them to my EFI/ Clover/ kext/ Other folder and there's no change, should I use Kext Utility to install it?

It's not showing ethernet in Network settings,

Would it matter if my Mac is running Mojave instead of Catalina

You don't need kext utility to copy kext to /E/C/K/Other. Just simply copy and paste. 

You should copy and replace all the contents in your 1st post into /EFI/Clover, not merge.

Yes, will work for Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra.

I don't know it just doesn't work, I brought all the files back, but it there's no Ethernet detected in system profiler, and when I added usbinjectall.kext that made the USB ports output less power, so I just removed that one specifically.

Ok here's what I've got:

 

Usmans-MBP:~ usmansohail$ sudo kextcache -i /

Password:

/ locked; waiting for lock.

Lock acquired; proceeding.

KernelCache ID: 03DA53C66CF8C3DB33EFD33F068B74DB

Kext with invalid signatured (-67062) allowed: <OSKext 0x7fecf4c1adc0 [0x7fff9b9018e0]> { URL = "file:///System/Library/Extensions/RealtekRTL8100.kext/", ID = "com.insanelymac.RealtekRTL8100" }

Kext rejected due to improper filesystem permissions: <OSKext 0x7fecf4d01a80 [0x7fff9b9018e0]> { URL = "file:///Library/Extensions/RealtekRTL8100.kext/", ID = "com.insanelymac.RealtekRTL8100" }
