You're welcome

It wont work if we put it in clover's "others" folder because it needs IO80211Family dependency, correct?

No you just need to run the installer inside macOS Mojave like a normal installer and it will add the missing kext file to macOS Mojave's /S/L/E and after reboot it will activate the WiFi.

The first time I tried to fix the WiFi by adding the file to clover it didn't work and I doubt it will work now.

@Cyberdevs

which of these TL-WDN4800 is yours

The 3rd is my Wifi Adapter

Edited October 1, 2018 by Cyberdevs

ah so the 3rd pic. Thanks

 

Im just making sure. i hope there is no v2.

I ordered TL-WN881ND and was not compatible due to v2 which is realtek chipset

You're welcome, I believe mine is a v1 because it definitely has an Atheros chip inside because if it was the Realtek version it shouldn't have worked with atheros kext.

I’m not seeing 5Ghz channels when using this.

This is Apple's original AirPortAtheros40.kext with no modifications.

I'll need to check and see if there's other dependencies for 5GHz channels or not.

I got it working after installing the kext in the correct location, System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins/AirPortAtheros40.kext

Ive ordered a broadcom based wifi adapter going forward so its not a huge issue for me but may help others.

I dont think location matters as long its in /L/E or /S/L/E

Yeah the location doesn't matter I just installed it in /S/L/E and as you can see I have 5GHz 

Only problem will be if apple update the header of IO80211Family, this will probably prevent atheros from loading

Any idea why I'm getting this error?

Is SIP enabled on your hack? if so disable it and try again.

Even though if it's enabled the installer should run ok but these errors are related to the system caches are being rebuilt by the app which for some reasons they can't be updated.

Big thank you, work well for me with TP link TL-WDN4800

Thanks for reporting the issue, I uploaded the compressed version of the app.

Please try it and let me know if you have any issues.

Saludos. Cyberdevs todo marchaba bien con la aplicación pero al reinstalar el sistema a 10.14.1 no hay manera de que aparezca la conexión Wifi, alguna manera de solucionar gracias

If your wifi adapter is using the Atheros chipset the issue you're having most likely is due to the system caches.

Use this app to rebuild the system caches and after that the wifi will be back.
