Bumping this thread. Did you ever find a solution?

https://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded)/tickets/423/ According to Slice the 'Name' in the Kext patching for Clover's config.plist must now be the full name of the module. For example, no longer will 'Brcm4360' work but you must use 'com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360' instead. If you do not use the long names (as provided by Jake in his awesome install posts) then you won't be able to enable your Broadcom WiFi card.

I fixed this by doing all of the DSDT patches Jake listed EXCEPT for GFX0->IGPU. I performed this rename via Clover Configurator. I did apply the patch to the SSDT extractions (be sure to exclude the SSDTs that end with 'x' as they are dynamic and patching doesn't make sense for them). Use rehabman's guide for patching your DSDT/SSDTs. With this configuration I was able to get "almost" everything working (still struggling with camera after sleep/wake even though it shows as a USB device).

Kind of weird to post a problem and a solution as a thread, but I wanted to put this out there for the benefit of others. Since Jake's DSDT didn't quite fit my system (still not sure why!) I had to roll my own DSDT. Ever since I've begun using my own DSDT the ethernet connection has had lots of problems. It would come online and then go immediately offline. It would bounce repeatedly if the cable was connected. Unhooking the cable would stop the bouncing. I took a guess and upgraded the IntelMausiEthernet Kext (the bootpack has v2.1.0d0) to the most recent Rehabman version available (v2.2.1d1). Since the Kext update Ethernet has been stable. I removed the kext at /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/Kexts/Other and replaced it with the one from https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-intel-network/downloads/

Been tinkering with this thru the weekend. I attempted to apply all DSDT and SSDT patches but I couldn't ever get it to go to the second stage. I was able to get it booted by doing the following: All of your patches against DSDT *except* the 'GFX0 to IGPU' patch. When I attempted the GFX0 patch with Maci it never gets to the 2nd stage of the boot. It gets to the end of the first stage and the screen scrambles and it hangs. I patched GFX0 via the Clover rename. I did not do any SSDT patching and I'm using the OEM SSDTs (not using your SSDT-PNLF). My questions... 1. What fix were you performing via the SSDT(s) (and SSDT-PNLF)? It looks like more GFX0 renames for the standard SSDTs. 2. The brightness slider is weird. It toggles between "OFF/ON" (when you get about 80% down the slider goes off, then goes back on when you put it to max) until the first sleep. After the first sleep it slides as you'd expect incrementing brightness normally. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them (otherwise it's more DSDT debugging).

Hey Jake -- thank you for that. I validated that I'm on BIOS v1.15.4 (released by Dell May 2017). Instead of jumping in on the patching I'm first going thru a diff of the extracted system DSDT and comparing to a decompiled version of the one in the bootpack. I'm thinking that I'll have to end up rolling my own DSDT/SSDT because the brightness controls don't work quite right after sleep and I'm pretty sure it's related. I'll post my results!

Woohoo!! Progress!!! So the wifi now works great (was able to establish a connection and send traffic), but audio and brightness controls are not working. Do you have a list of the DSDT patches you used to create your bootpack? (Unless you know what I should edit in the bootpack DSDT?)

The baffling thing for me is it showing as matched in IOREG.

Unfortunately I can't. I wish I had tried the card in Windows10 before I did the macOS installation. I've gone thru your install instructions multiple times I feel like I’m missing something simple. I’ve validated the BIOS settings as best I can (don't disable WiFi on ethernet connection, etc) and everything looks like it should be.

I've used the latest bootback and the card shows as 'matched' in ioreg but I'm still not seeing the card in the network settings. The Bluetooth portion of the card works fine, but no wifi. I'm using 10.12.5, the card shows up in a dspci list: 01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43b1] (rev 03) (subsys 1028:0019) I'm attaching my Clover setup and some info on the kexts I'm using. Any guidance would be really appreciated. E7470 Help.zip
