Hervé

Thanks, I've added the TL-WN823N models to the list. All devices are USB2.0 (your screenshot is a little misleading in that respect, probably due to lack of USB2/USB3 multiplexing). Your own device actually appears to be a v1 model (id 0bda:8178), not v2 (id 2357:0109). The version n° is available on the FCC id imprinted on the USB plug: 'could not find any details about the v3 model but there are 10.14 drivers available on TP-Link's web site...

Should be possible if you have the nVidia model. Not otherwise as per previous OS X/macOS version due to unsupported eDP connector for the LCD. Mojave should install as per High Sierra.

If people are interested in further development, I suggest we envisage some sponsoring.

The last version that this oldie supports is Lion 10.7.5. You may also install Mountain Lion with the old MLPF hack (if you can find a copy of it on the web). About 5years ago, we posted MLPF ML guides for old Dell laptops of similar specs to your HP laptop. They're in our Guides section. But your 10yr old laptop will not support anything else. It's just an obsolete computer. Apple dropped support for GMA X3100 back in 2012 when they introduced Mountain Lion and, from Sierra 10.12 onwards, you need a CPU with SSE4 instructions set that your old (Merom) Pentium T2370 does not have that... SSE4 instruction set was introduced by Intel in Penryn CPUs and there would be no point considering a CPU upgrade due to graphics limitations.

There you are; copy this patched DSDT file to ACPI/patched folder. DSDT.aml.zip Changes I've done to ensure you get USB3 supported by default are: 1) under method _SB.PCI0.IINI replaced If (_OSI ("Windows 2006")) { Store (0x07D6, OSYS) } by If (LOr (_OSI ("Darwin"), _OSI ("Windows 2006"))) // injects OS X/macOS for USB3 support { Store (0x07D6, OSYS) } 2) under device HPET replaced Name (BUF0, ResourceTemplate () { Memory32Fixed (ReadOnly, 0xFED00000, // Address Base 0x00000400, // Address Length _Y0F) }) by Name (BUF0, ResourceTemplate () { IRQNoFlags () // fixes HPET for USB support {0,8,11,15} Memory32Fixed (ReadOnly, 0xFED00000, // Address Base 0x00000400, // Address Length _Y0F) }) I've also noticed you had a rather odd SSDT table in your ACPI/patched folder and I would invite you to get rid of it to regenerate a proper CPU-specific SSDT using Pike R Alpha's well-known generator script. The table you've picked up at that best-avoided place is probably inappropriate and inadequate today... https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh

I don't know if that's what @bbeetle meant, but I've never had any issue ejecting a CD/DVD, i.e. opening the CD/DVD drive through the Finder's button or eject menu button on my E6440; can't see why it'd be different on the E6540... If he meant unmounting the CD/DVD drive to physically take it out, indeed, there's no such option unlike for a mounted HDD or remote drive.

Please post your raw/extracted DSDT and your patched one you're currently using. I'm pretty sure the issue comes from an incorrect DSDT. I would also invite you to remove the DSDT from the list or sorted SSDT in your Clover config file...

Time to learn then...

Keep it in /L/E, it's meant for 3rd party & non-vanilla kexts. /L/E is also ignored when booting without cache so even better if things go wrong after adding a kext...

You forget that OS X/macOS is much more graphics intensive than Windows. As such, the card can be expected to draw more power under macOS than under Windows. This being said, in the video, we can clearly see the "cut" during heavier demands on graphics ressources. Are you able to monitor GPU throttling through HWMonitor? I'm asking because it could be that you need to apply some form of AGPM tuning in order for the card's capabilities to be fully utilised. I actually wonder if your issue would not come from a lack of throttling with a GPU stuck in low speed without ever throttling up and down... It's going back several years back now but I used to run a Dell Vostro 200 desktop as a Hackintosh and I fitted a GeForce GT610 in it. Once I tuned FakeSMC to the SMC keys of my selected SMBIOS (iMac10,1), I was able to see full GPU throttling in HWMonitor. Id' give that a shot if I were you. You may also want to have a look at AGPM tuning as detailed here: You may also experiment with other SMBIOS profiles such as MacPro5,1 or MacPro6,1 to see if it helps on GPU throttling. Use FakeSMC and its sensors to be able to run and use HWMonitor app.

According to your IOReg, your E5440 is fitted with O2 Micro card reader 1217:8520, as expected. Therefore, all you need is the DSDT patch detailed here in this dedicated thread on the matter: Your IOReg shows your SD card reader under ACPI device RP01: Your original DSDT contains device RP01->PXSX. Jake has provided you with a revised patched DSDT where he's injected the SD card reader patch detailed at the above link: renaming of RP01.PXSX device to RP01.SDXC injection of compatibility with Apple's own card reader 14e4:16bc With such DSDT injection, your card reader will work OOB without anything further.

For wireless, see here.

USB3 would probably work with the appropriate Darwin DSDT injection. But there's no extracted or patched DSDT in the Clover folder you posted so I suggest you extract it to Clover EFI ACPI/origin folder by pressing F4 (you can do it w a few times and wait a few seconds) once you're at Clover's main menu before booting the macOS partition.

According to Dell's documentation, the 7010 MT has a 275W power supply and its PCIe x16 slot supports 75W max, the PCIe x4 supporting 25W max. So it'll depend on the card's own specs, knowing that Nvidia says that the GeForce GT730 DDR5 GPU draws 25W and recommends a power supply of 300W min. So, yes, specs could be borderline on the power front...

You don't need the GenericUSBXHCI kext. Your USB3 XHC controller will be supported OOB with your existing Darwin injection in DSDT. If you want to enjoy USB2.0/USB3.0 muxing, install Rehabman's FakePCIID ° FakePCIID_XHCIMux kexts. Then, you should be sorted. I also noticed that, in your Clover config, you've setup USB as follows: I'd tick Inject + High Current options if I were you..

Please post an IOReg output so that we identify the SD card reader. Which USB3.0 device prompts for power? Maybe the device requires more current/power than the USB3 port can provide... This would then require an external power or a dual USB3 connection to draw more power. Quite typical with some external HDDs.

You need a compatible wireless card, so until we know what card you have, all we can suggest is to consult our wireless card inventory... You'll find it with a little search on the forum.

MacBookPro11,2 is probably not suitable since it's a Haswell platform with iGPU only when your M6600 is Sandy Bridge with dGPU. We had numerous people here in the past who reported booting to black screen on their M4600. Tuning the SMBIOS to MacBookPro10,1 appeared to fix the issue. Further tuning to MacBookPro6,1/6,2 with Board id of MacBooPro10,1(Mac-C3EC7CD22292981F) triggered full CPU SpeedStep/power management. Give that a try... You may also want to try to inject your nVidia properties into a patched DSDT. You should also arrange to tune your FakeSMC for GPU throttling through AGPM and ensure you won't suffer from either graphics glitches (due to low GPU speed) or overheating (due to GPU running at high speed). More details here:

It's hard to believe that all those tables in your Clover EFI ACPI/patched folder are actually patched tables. Maybe you can enlighten us on this. You've setup Clover with PluginType 1 so you should no require to drop those 2 x SSDT tables as shown in your config. In addition, Haswell iMac14,2 SMBIOS is wrong for your Broadwell laptop; you should be using something like MacBookPro12,1 or MacBookAir7,1. You should consult the guides that JakeLo posted for those E7x50 models and retrieve a clover config from there.

You cannot enter those values as text, it's not! In CC, you have to enter the Find/Replace values in hexadecimal. You can use the converter tool provided in CC to switch between Base64 and Hexa.

Details are provided in the 1st link I posted, you have to read it. I'd patch this for you but I could not see your Wifi card in the IOReg you provided. Make sure wireless is not disabled in BIOS... As for the Brcm4360 kext, well... it's a PlugIn of IO80211Family kext in /S/L/E.

DW1550 requires patching: card PCI id injection either through DSDT or Brcm4360 kext patching; you may also use Rehabman's fake PCI id kexts as an alternative possible further patching to enable 5GHz band support (aka "fcvo" patch) https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/2120-inventory-of-supported-and-unsupported-wireless-cards/ You can consult all existing thread/posts related to BCM4352 in our wireless & Bluetooth section here: https://osxlatitude.com/forums/forum/104-wireless-and-bluetooth/

You've been told before: stay away from distros and make a full vanilla installation, we've got enough guides for this model as it is. If you insist on using that distro, why don't you seek support at Niresh?

So nothing new: ALPS v8 remains poorly supported, no reason why this would have changed when the code has not... On the other hand, the kext, as previously compiled, works without issues on my E6220, E6230 or E6440 under Mojave. I've not had to use a Mojave-compiled version.

You'd be much better off with a card like a DW1510, a DW1550, AzureWave AW-CE123H or AW-CB160H. If you want top speed and performance, opt for a dual band card (2.4/5GHz) that supports 802.11ac. AW-CE123H and AW-CB160H meet these specs.
