Please refer to post #1. Developments on this kext stopped several years ago.

Is LAN enabled in BIOS? If so, the guide posted here provide the required driver for the standard Intel 82579LM card of those Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge E6xx0 generations. You should therefore see your card in the Network PrefPane. You may also see it listed and identify it by MAC address when you type Terminal command: ifconfig But I suspect you're trying to do something unsupported on a Hackintosh more than anything else...

Please refrain from off-topic posting such matters in an unrelated thread such as an E5440 Catalina installation topic. This being said, no difference to be expected as far as performance is concerned. Upgrade or not upgrade, the matter is entirely up to you.

You probably ought to get another card then.

Yup, we have a guide for that model. However I must remind you that DW1820A cards are based on BCM4350 chipset, not BCM94352Z; as such, you ought to verify exactly what you bought before anything else...

Updated for Mojave and Catalina.

In terms of installation, there'll be very little difference between Catalina and, say, Sierra or High Sierra; you just need to check that the minimum requirements for Catalina are met (see the Pick list on forum 1st page) and use latest Clover + updated kexts where/if applicable (eg: Lilu, WEG). Having also posted a full Catalina guide for the D630 nVidia, I invite you to refer to that, keeping in mind that, of course, you cannot use it "as is" but only after you've adjusted the pack for your own system's specs (eg: DSDT, audio, LAN, AGPM, etc.). Bear in mind that those old laptops do not meet the minimum graphics hardware requirement so full graphics acceleration is not natively and entirely supported. Tesla dGPU can only enjoy OpenGL graphics acceleration which does impact overall performance and is not 100% bug free. If you want full performance and full graphics acceleration, the buck stops at High Sierra.

You're mistaken, there is no support for DW1820. It's not compatible with OS X/macOS.

As a nice complement to our wireless inventories, there's a pretty good summary of Broadcom BCM4350, BCM4352 and BCM4360 cards here: https://khronokernel-7.gitbook.io/wireless-buyers-guide/types-of-wireless-card/m2 By far and large, cards are size 2230 and Key A/E with very limited Key E models. As a recap: Broadcom BCM4360 (14e4:43a0): Fenvi BCM94360NG Subsys id 106b:0117 BT id 05ac:828d Key A/E , size 2230 supported OOB up to Ventura Broadcom BCM943602 (14e4:43ba): Dell DW1830 BT id 05ac:6410 Key A/E, size 3030 3 x antennas Broadcom BCM94352 (14e4:43b1): Fenvi AC1200 Key A/E, size 2230 Dell DW1560 Subsys id 1028:0019 BT id 05ac:216f Key A/E, size 2230 AzureWave AW-CB162NF BT id 13d3:34xx Key E, size 2230 seems quite rare Foxconn T77H543 Lenovo 04X6020 Lite-On WCBN802B Key E, size 2230 Broadcom BCM94350: (see our dedicated guide on those) Dell DW1820A (Key A/E, size 2230) Lenovo Foxconn T77H649 (Key A/E, size 2230) Lite-On WCBN808B (Key A/E, size 2230)

USB3.0 requires that you inject Darwin as Vista/Win7 in ACPI, either through direct DSDT patch or through Clover config for instance. But it sounds like you already do. Boot Catalina with USBInjectAll only for USB. Then run Hackintool and generate the SSDT-UIAC table + USBPorts kext. You may then boot with either USBInjectAll kext + SSDT-UIAC table or USBPorts kext on its own.

Then refer to the note on post #1.

Indeed, the patch consists of adding those lines I've detailed. Can't see what difficulty you have here, I've clearly explained things in plain english. NB: There's no need to quote every message you reply to, so -please- don't! Simply use the "Reply to this topic..." box at the bottom of your page to post a reply...

Indeed, you can do it. With minimal research, you'd find that GFX0 and IGPU are interchangeable ACPI device names and that renaming GFX0 to IGPU is actually recommended for Intel iGPUs. It's one of the many ACPI patches offered by Clover Configurator... If you do not want to patch your DSDT, then lookup the alternative posted by Jake Lo; it's based on dedicated supplemental SSDT tables.

We have a fully detailed guide + a dedicated BIOS settings thread for this particular model; please refer to those.

My 7490 guide details the DSDT patch I applied to get brightness control out of Fn-F11/Fn-F12. You may try and apply the same to your own extracted DSDT. For Command/Option, just use the Keyboard PrefPane to swap the keys...

Why don't you use the pack I posted to begin with? You've added some USB patches to your Clover config...

Yes, that should do.

It's well-known that you need to boot the "macOS Install from ... Data" to complete the update.

You've not grasped that you must use: either USBInjectAll kext + SSDT-UIAC table or USBPorts kext on its own But you don't combine them...

I've had no issue with all the BCM4350 cards I've tested once I applied the ASPM patch. This includes the Lenovo 00JT494/Foxconn T77H649.00 model. I gave that card to @Allan who's got wireless working on his own laptop (can't remeber the model). @Jake Lo also got BCM4350 cards working in his Latitude E7x50 so he can vouch for (some of) them.

These adapters are basically simple converters. No reason why they would not work. Just check that they're combo and support PCIe + BT signals, not just PCIe only (otherwise, no Bluetooth!). They would then need to be installed in mini-PCIe combo slots to support both wireless + Bluetooth. You're more likely to meet an issue with the antenna connectors. Those used on mini-PCIe cards and therefore fitted to laptops with mini-PCIe slots are bigger than those required for M.2/NGFF cards and simply won't fit/attach. You'll need antenna adapters. The exact names/types of those various connectors elude me right now but you can look this up.

The DSDT patch required for Fn-UP/Fn-DOWN brightness control is detailed in my E6230 guide. Please look it up. BIOS needs to operate in UEFI mode.

There's no need to quote every message you reply to, so -please- don't! You appear to have done everything by the book, so nothing further to suggest I'm afraid. I assume you've already disabled Wifi and booted Ok to be able to identify issue came from the BCM4350 card.

Your config looks Ok to me; you may try to declare compatibility with pci14e4,4353 if things don't work with pci14e4,4331.
