SpiderCab Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Is there a way to automatically add the AirPortAtheros40.kext to IO80211Family.kext/Contents/Plugins so that you can have WiFi during the install phase? or is there a way to force the Hackintosh to use IO80211Family.kext from clover instead of the apple one in S/L/E?

Dr. Hurt Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I tried doing that but it doesn’t work. Neither Airport nor IO80211 kexts load from Clover folder. There is the ATH9Kfixup kext with is suppoed to work from Clover folder but for some reason I could never get that to work either... If you do manage to get it to work, please do update.

It already works when using the patched AirPortAtheros40.kext in /S/L/E and is assigned en2. What we're hoping to do is make system more "vanilla" by avoiding installing patched kexts to S/L/E. Patched AirPortAtheros40.kext doesn't load from Clover folder (maybe because it's older than vanilla SLE one, or maybe unfilled dependencies on early boot) I wish I could get ATH9Kfixup to work. It's supposed to do on the fly patching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion71au Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) @SpiderCab To get Atheros wifi working for your installer, you need to replace its prelinked kernel with one that includes IO80211Family.kext from High Sierra eg attached to this post is prelinked kernel from Mojave10.14_18A391 that has this kext inside. To generate your own prelinked kernel, see post#1 in this thread. Follow instructions for "Custom Prelinkedkernel Generator Tool", running the PLK.tool in Mojave (after adding Mojave BaseSystem.dmg and IO80211Family.kext to "ExtraKexts" folder). @XLNC's post in that same thread is useful if you make an installer with createinstallmedia.

I assume your Atheros wifi card worked properly before in 10.13.6? What method did you use to make the Mojave installer and where did you copy the prelinkedkenel to? The wifi icon in the installer may be "invisible" at first before you click the title bar of the Mojave installer on the top RHS (Right Hand Side)...

I created mojave installer by createinstallmedia method. I copied the prelinkedkernel replace orginal file in S/L/PrelinkedKernels The wifi icon in the installer may be "invisible" at first before you click the titlebar on the top RHS... and how to make it visible, or how to choose wifi to connect if that true?
