You have all the necessary information to find the relevant PlugIn in seconds. Same for the patch. It's a matter of common sense. You just need to look at things. You have: a BCM92046 card (I take it you can derive certain obvious things from that) a Bluetooth "transport" kext to patch a DellBluetoothHCI kext that used to work but no longer does under 10.13 a statement that advised you that Apple changes Bluetooth kext name and syntax of its Info.plist at nearly every new OS

Can't say if that would be applicable to this Atheros module but once the ids of a Bluetooth module are added to the relevant transport plugin kext, the option to turn BT On or Off is usually available. Can't say if that would fix the OP's reported issue but no harm in trying...

This is a WPAN module and I still expect it to be USB. You said you had it working in 10.12 with some patch, so just re-apply the same patch on the 10.13 kext, knowing that the name of the kext and the syntax of its Info.plist file has probably changed again. 'should be the relevant "transport" kext. 'seems a pretty easy and old-fashioned patch, nothing out of the usual/norm.

As its name implies, lspci is for PCI devices. Bluetooth modules usually are USB...

In all likelyhood, I would expect DVI and/or DP output to require patching of the BDW framebuffer kext as it were required with previous iGPUs. You could study the HD4000 and HD4600 threads on the matter and derive the necessary patches. They would normally be based on the same sort of mods.

Open up Device Manager and look into the various info listed in the touchpad device Properties->Details tab... Example (not from an E5430): Don't hesitate to browse through all the listed info for hints. Of course, you should first consult the Dell online support web site, especially the documentation and/or the drivers for your model. Stating the obvious but most people don't even think about it... Oh, look! http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/latitude-e5430/drivers

That guide is for Sandy Bridge E6320, not Ivy Bridge E6230... You confused models. Overall process should be identical though.

You have an i5-450M CPU, i.e. 1st gen Arrandale. For 1st gen Intel HD grpahics, please refer to the bible thread on the matter at InsanelyMac. Patched kexts are available from the IM download section: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/208-1st-gen-intel-hd-graphics-kexts/

If it fails to boot the main partition with Enoch it's probably because you have not completed the CoreStorage reversal steps. It's mandatory.

Not supported.

If you run El Capitan with Clover, you can upgrade pretty much directly. If you run with Enoch, opt for Sierra (no support for easy High Sierra installation yet) and perform a fresh install over your existing El Capitan installation. You'll retain all existing files and/or applications.

It's a dial-up modem so you obviously need to configure the dial-up access as shown in post #1 (i.e. enter the number to dial and/or the relevant APN). This info depends on your service provider (Orange, SFR, etc.) and you'll find details through a Google search. You'll also find an example here. If you patch the CellPhoneHelper kext to run the card as a WWAN, you'll only need the APN.

Gents, this is a Sierra-related thread. If you wish to discuss High Sierra -and since it differs quite a lot from previous versions with regards to installation-, please create a new thread. This for the benefits of other folks who would be interested in discussing High Sierra on this laptop.

Clover makes no use of Chameleon/Enoch /Extra folder. The kexts for High Sierra are the same as for Sierra or earlier versions.

Unless you're absolutely adamant on using Clover, you may want to consider the Enoch method... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7387-dell-latitude-e6440-with-i5-4300m-hd4600-and-1600x900-lcd-mavericksyosemiteel-capitansierra/page-3&do=findComment&comment=67673 Remember to double check your BIOS settings https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9247-e6440-bios-settings/

There are various ways, it really depends on the model. You can look at the card itself and check for any indication on the label or you can scrounge the Web for indications. if you cannot identify the chip, you may try to patch the kext using various module entries of the Info.plist file as the starting base. You'd then be on a trial and error mode. The Ericsson F3507G module has been discussed at great length in a separate thread. Can't remember if the card got to run as a WWAN module as just as a dial-up modem. It was reported fully working under El Capitan so you could expect it still works under Sierra and High Sierra. I've not played with 3G modules for some time now, they've become sort of obsolete with the ever widening ability to use one's smartphone as a wireless hotspot/access point.

Guys, please, ok you're new but there's an FAQ section! https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8696-is-my-wireless-card-compatible-with-os-x/

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8696-is-my-wireless-card-compatible-with-os-x/ Couple of points: the wireless LED never lits on a Hackintosh mixed results with AR5B125; you should probably consider a different card

Regarding rebuilding of cache, all is explained in the FAQ section: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9961-how-do-i-repair-permissions-and-rebuild-the-cache-yosemite-and-later/

If that totally eluded you, note that it's the chip that matters...

From memory, Skylake support was only introduced in 10.11.4.

Well, now that you've entirely gotten rid of the faking kext and properly installed BCM5722D kext, try and play to the Legacy Option ROMs BIOS option again. And update BIOS to version A12 too, paying special attention to Intel vPro and non-vPro versions...

It means it's the loaded kext (driver) for your LAN card! And that happens because you inject the kext faking Broadcom BCM57765 from Clover's EFI folder. You need to understand how kext injection and kext installation (caching) works... When JakeLo tells you to get rid of that kext, you're meant to remove it. Entirely. In addition, note that you should never: 1) install a kext in multiple locations such as /S/L/E AND /L/E 2) inject a kext from Clover AND install it at the same time in /S/L/E and/or /L/E Trying to install and/or inject a kext in multiple locations will only cause trouble. So don't do it.

That's incorrect, the E6440 actually has 3 x slots for add-on mini-PCIe cards, one of them is full-size (and combo PCIe/BT/mSata). That slot sits on top of a 2nd half-size one and I'd agree that the connector is not easily visible when you remove the cover (because the full size slot is at 90° of the 2nd half-size one). Nevertheless, it's there... I personally use the slot for an mSata SSD... You should consult the E6440 maintenance manual available on Dell's web site.
