Obviously ac cards would be better than n cards, themselves better than g ones. Same for cards that work OOB as opposed to those that require patching. Basic common sense really...

See the list for the models that get your liking. Or opt for an Apple's BCM94360CD with adapter board. That works OOB and with full features.

Difficult to say. The generated SSDT is for CPU power management and bears no relation to wireless services and/or equipment. The DSDT would only impact the card if it's previously been patched for another model.

You should have several PCIe slots in that laptop: WLAN, WWAN and unmarked PCIe. Which did you fit the card in? Tried the other slots?

I don't see why you'd need any of those Fake_PCIID... kexts. As stated before, the card's id is covered by Sierra's vanilla wireless drivers.

I've only seen VGA work (OOB) on HD4400 laptops. But, sure, share your experimentation and results.

Thanks, note #5 updated to that effect.

Maybe you could enlighten us with the model of combo card you've got and refrain from multiple posting the same matter... Thank you.

DSDT patching cannot be of any help on that very matter. Some mini-PCIe to PCIe adapter boards also offer a USB connector. This needs to be wired to a USB connector of your motherboard for USB-based services to work... Afaik, the Fenvi FV101 does offer such USB connectivity:

Yup, I highly suspect wifi switch in Off position...

I've had DW1510 (and DW1520) in my E6220/E6230 prior to switching to Apple's own BCM4360CD and did not require to tape any pins. I think I did the rebranding though...

With HD4000 on a 1600x900 (or higher) built-in LCD, you must inject the following: 1) Capri FB #4/layout-id 0x01660004 (as opposed to 0x01660003) 2) DualLink set to 1 You can do that through DSDT patch of IGPU device located at 0x00020000 or through Clover config.

You must of course delete all BIOS tables applicable to another system such as your Dell E6540 when booting the USB installer on your Lenovo.

Ok for CPU (Haswell i5-4300M with HD4600 integrated graphics), LAN (Intel i217LM) and audio (ALC3226 = ALC292). The rest remains to be specifically defined (wireless, Bluetooth, Card reader). If you run Windows, I suggest you identify the PCI vendor + device ids through apps such as CPUZ or Aida64 or through the device manager. You'll need to: 1) apply the Haswell kernel patch to boot your system properly and avoid KP or boot loop 2) apply the HD4600 tuning: fake Desktop HD4600 id 0x0412 and use Rehabman's FakePCIIDxxx kexts. You have a HiRes screen, so make sure to set DualLink to 1. 3) use Mieze's IntelMausiEthernet driver or AppleIntel1000e kext for the LAN card 4) apply ALC292 AppleHDA patches and use dummy ALC292 kext for audio 5) for Keyboard and TrackPad, look-up the latest Synaptics kexts on the forum The rest will depend on the other hardware being properly identified. You can refer to my E6440 guides to grab kexts (FakeSMC + LAN + audio + CPUPM-related SSDT) from the published bootpacks or your existing E6540 build since those Dell laptops are based on similar hardware as your Lenovo T450p

The Bluetooth part is USB-based and will therefore only work if the card is fitted to a combo PCIe/USB slot such as a laptop's WWAN slot for instance. If you're on a desktop with a adapter board fitted to a PCIe slot, do not expect Bluetooth to be available unless your adapter also offers USB connectivity.

You'll have to identify the exact specs of your hardware elements (LAN, wireless, bluetooth, audio, card reader, trackpad, etc.) so that the right kexts can be provided.

Then inject Intel graphics + layout id 01660003 in Clover and you'll have full graphics acceleration and max resolution on screen.

AR5B95 is compatible but not the best choice if you want AirDrop and Handoff. Opting for a more modern combo BT4.0+wireless card, especially with Sierra, such as those based on BCM4360 or BCM4352 chips would require less patching and be a much better choice (AR5B195 and similar are AR5B95+combo Bluetooth 3.0). One of the best possible choices is to go for an Apple card such as the BCM94360CD with a mini-PCIe adapter board. They work OOB and support all those features with 802.11ac gigabit wireless connectivity. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-inventory-of-supported-and-unsupported-wireless-cards/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1916-the-perfect-mini-pcie-wifi-and-bluetooth-combo-card-for-notebooks/ https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7554-broadcom-bcm4360cd-80211-ac-wifi-and-bluetooth-combo-card/

Seems the patch is not applied. Post a zipped copy of your Clover config.plist file.

Unless you've configured the kexts patches through Clover, you'll have to repatch your Azul frambefuffer kext + AppleHDA kext after each update. The patches are readily available in various E6440, E6540 or E7440 and Haswell iGPU threads & guides posted on the forum.

Or Google for it...

DVD player needs full graphics acceleration to run, so no hope in your case. VGA and Monitor PrefPane are probably linked to absence of framebuffer. Don't expect any fixes here... For wireless, please read the FAQ section. As for Sleep not working when you close the lid, it can depend a several things: defective or disconnected sensor inside the laptop, absence of Sleep altogether (need CPU power management as a pre-requisite), need for DSDT/ACPI adjustments, etc. Check that Sleep works through Apple menu and/or Fn-F1 or Fn-Esc to begin with. You also need to be aware that even if you got Sleep to work, you may encounter graphics nastiness (garbled screen and subsequent need to reboot) on wake. That's what happens on old GMA-based systems that run 64bit versions of OS X without full graphics acceleration. Remember that this will never be a good Hackintosh...

Then I suspect you might have a dying HDD...

Then you're either using the wrong pack or the patched DSDT (or any other patched table) is incorrect. I suggest you post your extracted raw table to get it patched properly. In case you've not done so already, update your BIOS to latest version.

Try & grab the BCM5722D v2.3.6 off the D630 Mav/Yos/EC/Sie packs available here. But 1st of all, check your BIOS settings because it looks like Ethernet is disabled in BIOS...
