jedko911 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I can't find any wifi. Wifi is listed as en1. I used this patched kext AirPortAtheros40.kext.zip and add it to /E/E also in /L/E than repair kext. But the result is same, can't find any wifi.

Administrators Hervé Posted January 10, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 10, 2017 Be extremely cautious with pre-patched kexts because if they bear a lower or identical version than the vanilla kext of /S/L/E, they won't load from /L/E. You can easily verify that by replacing the vanilla copy located as a PlugIn of IO80211Family kext. The DSDT patch is provided in the inventory thread linked in post #2. That's what you should use as a permanent and sustainable solution. The kext patch would likely be required after any update or upgrade. You can trust me on this, I had an AR9285 card in the recent past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedko911 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 how can I do this DSDT patch? I understand that I need to add code from that post to DSDT but how? I know how to add PCI id to AirPortAtheros40.kext/Contents/Info.plist, but that doesn't work. This only enable WiFi module, but that's all. All I get is same as image no.3 in post#1 by richard1994x.

Administrators Hervé Posted January 10, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 10, 2017 Please post a zipped copy of a saved IOregistryExplorer output + your DSDT. I'll patch it. You can learn how to patch a DSDT on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedko911 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 here is the zip file: IOEDSDT.zip thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 11, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2017 Try this. If you have the patched file, you might have to restore the vanilla before this patched DSDT will work. DSDT.aml.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedko911 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 I copied DSDT to Extra folder which you sent me. Than I also remove AirPortAtheros40.kext from /L/E and /E/E. Replaced IO80211Family.kext in /S/L/E by another one from other Sierra installation on the same dell model but with different WiFi modul. Than repaired kext: sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E* sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U / restart PC but wifi still can't find any available SSID's only ethernet is working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 11, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 11, 2017 That's not how I would have patched the ARPT device. If Jake's DSDT does not bring the card to life, try the attached revised version. 'goes with the vanilla AirPortAtheros40 / IO80211Family kexts.
