AW-NB290: changing PCI ids

[Jief]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to change the pci id of my wifi card (AW-NB290) with DSDT patch.

 

I have this 

            Device (EXP2)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001C0001)  // _ADR: Address
                Name (RID, 0x00)
                OperationRegion (PECS, PCI_Config, 0x00, 0x0100)
                Field (PECS, DWordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
                {
                    Offset (0x62), 
                    PS,     1, 
                    PP,     1, 
                    Offset (0xDB), 
                        ,   7, 
                    PMCE,   1, 
                    Offset (0xDF), 
                        ,   7, 
                    PMCS,   1
                }

                Name (LPRT, Package (0x04)
                {
                    Package (0x04)
                    {
                        0xFFFF,

                    }, 

                    Package (0x04)
                    {

                    {
                        0xFFFF, 
                        0x03, 
                        \_SB.LNKA, 
                        0x00
                    }
                })
                Name (APRT, Package (0x04)
                {
                    Package (0x04)
                    {
                        0xFFFF, 
                        0x00, 
                        0x00, 
                        0x11
                    }, 

                    Package (0x04)
                    {
                        0xFFFF, 
                        0x01, 
                        0x00, 
                        0x12
                    }, 

                    Package (0x04)
                    {
                        0xFFFF, 
                        0x02, 
                        0x00, 
                        0x13
                    }, 

                    Package (0x04)
                    {
                        0xFFFF, 
                        0x03, 
                        0x00, 
                        0x10
                    }
                })
                Method (_PRT, 0, NotSerialized)  // _PRT: PCI Routing Table
                {
                    If (\GPIC)
                    {
                        Return (APRT)
                    }
                    Else
                    {
                        Return (LPRT)
                    }
                }
            }

I don't understand : "Name (APRT, Package (0x04)".

 

Where should I insert the Device(ARPT), like you show at the beginning of the wireless card inventory thread ?

 

Thanks.

@jief,

You can easily do this in Clover Config file. Add it to Devices, Fake ID /WFI

If you want it on the the DSDT, then you need to determine where to patch it by looking at IOReg.

Attach it here if you need assistance.

It seems you possibly made erroneous shortcuts and confused ACPI device ARPT with a function called APRT under a device EXP2 found at address 1C,1 (i.e. 0x001C0001). The syntax difference is very subtle and may have eluded you...

 

As suggested by Jake, identify your wireless device in IOReg (with tools/apps such as IORegistryExplorer) before you consider any patches in your DSDT. I remind you that this is clearly stated in the thread you've mentioned. Did you miss that too?

[...]

In the same respect, in the case of the Broadcom BCM4322x cards (e.g.: chip BCM43225 14e4,4357), adding compatibility with a chip known to be supported OOB such as BCM94360 14e4,43ba or 14e4,43a0 (as found in the vanilla AirPortBrcm4360 kext) in a _DSM method for the identified DSDT device does the trick once and for all since it'll make the OS load the associated kext:

 

               Device ()   // Identified wireless device through IORegistryExplorer (usually: ARPT)
               {

You may find out that the device EXP2@1C,1 has nothing to do with your wireless card.
