acquarius.13 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 On another forum I saw some kexts for intel wif-fi cards. Not for any card, just a few of them. If you have an Intel, you may try one of those. Let's see if that project will go on in the proper way. Cheers, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteDragon Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I will look into the Intel Wi-Fi kexts and see if anything works out. I will post if anything is successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteDragon Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The Matebook has an AC 8275 wireless card. I successfully got the Matebook to connect to WiFi using the attached kext. You need to modify the kext's Info.plist as follows (shown using PlistBuddy commands): /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :IOKitPersonalities:AppleIntelWiFi:IFConfig:NWID SSID" Info.plist /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :IOKitPersonalities:AppleIntelWiFi:IFConfig:WPAKEY PWD" Info.plist Where SSID is the SSID of the network you want to connect to and PWD is the WPA password of the network. Everything I have read about the kext warns to manually kextload it when you want to use it and to not put it in /S/L/E, /L/E, or Clover kexts/other because it can fail too easily and prevent the system from booting. Here is a convenient set of commands for manually loading the kext: sudo mv ./AppleIntelWiFi.kext /tmp sudo chown -R root:wheel /tmp/AppleIntelWiFi.kext sudo kextload /tmp/AppleIntelWiFi.kext The kext causes a KP if you try to kextunload it (I tried), so if you want to change to another network, you need to reboot, edit the kext, and load it.

WhiteDragon Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The kext I provided in my last post works with my Latitude E7270, too. I'm planning on replacing the internal WiFi card with a DW1820A card, but in the meantime, it is nice not needing the dongle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
