IO80211Family modif 1.0.0


1 Screenshot

About This File

Modified IO80211Family.kext especially who use device based on Atheros40 (the idea came from CtlnaAHCIPort.kext) so we don't need to touch /S/L/E just inject via OpenCore, and we can running Big SUr without open Sealed (no need remove/delete vanilla IO80211Family.kext in /S/L/E)

 

I'm not try in Mojave or Catalina but I'm sure is worked too

 

1. just put 2 kext HS80211Family.kext & AirPortAtheros40.kext  .../OC/Kexts and make sure inject via config.plist

  do not inject IO80211NetBooter in the plist (must do research so i leave there in plugin),  I remove IO80211NetBooter from plugin so as not to confuse

see my pict below just add 2 value

2. you can add value manually VendorID in IONameMatch (atheros40) if your ID not present

 

3. refer to @MaLd0n guide in olarila for working Wifi Atheros AR9565, AR9462, AR9463, AR9485

here is the modification (no need injector)

AR9565 AirPortAtheros40-9565.kext.zip

AR9462 AirPortAtheros40-9462.kext.zip

AR9463 AirPortAtheros40-9463.kext.zip

AR9485 AirPortAtheros40-9485.kext.zip

 

Additional : Fake Locale & Country Code

 

Use this kext WifiLocFix.kext.zip to fix Locale & Country Code (Fake AirPort Location Interface)

and don't forget to inject in your config.plist

Hello
I installed Big Sur 11.4
But I have a WiFi problem
Do you have a video on YouTube that I install according to the video of the WiFi driver?
Because according to this text tutorial, I can not install in the topic and I am a beginner.
My WiFi model is also 9565.

attach your EFI so I check and load you what you need to activate wifi

Screen-Shot-2021-08-03-at-6-24-50-PM.pngHi, I almost installed a good hack, but with the help of my good teacher, Allan, they really helped me a lot.
I want to know how to install AR9596 for my Wi-Fi because every tutorial I go through does not recognize Wi-Fi!
Only this tutorial is left that I did not test.
Well, I have a clover, you can check it, I really do not have only Wi-Fi ..
Thankful

I read on OCLP changelogs and unsupported mac Monterey MacRumors forum there's few people success enable their Atheros. So, I did a test on my Ivy Bridge Acer laptop, but the Patcher didn't detect my Atheros, only detect hd4000.

It is the atheros that is causing the panic, not the hs80211family.

no, i dont think so. I used atheros bootable without issue, but panic when added hs80211family 

Still stuck when trying enable wifi on Monterey, while fine in Big Sur

And i realized important: while used propertree OC Snapshot, this warning only appear with hs80211family kext exist! anyone can make AR9285 working in Monterey?

With another IO80211.kext can OC Snapshot fine but still cant enable wifi:

Hey, I'm trying to inject a modified IO80211Family.kext but get a KP.

 

This is under the latest release of Big Sur 11.6.1

 

I don't care about Monterey.

 

Any ideas ?

Hey, Im just trying this in Catalina ahead of an upgrade to Big Sur. I can make stock Mojave IO80211Family.kext with AirportAtheros40.kext work just fine.

 

 I can also load HS80211Family.kext but if I try to load modified AirportAtheros40.kext, I get ...

 

kextutil /Users/mlx/Desktop/HS80211Family/AirPortAtheros40.kext

----

 

While HS80211Family.kext is successfully loaded !

 

Anybody still have Atheros AR9462 working in BigSur ?

 

I would even be happy to see a HS80211Family/AirPortAtheros40.kext pair that are working in Catalina for AR9462.

 

Anyone ?

It is because AirPortAtheros40 has com.apple.iokit.HS80211Family as OSBundleLibraries inside the plist.Therefore it is looking for HS80211Family.kext instead of IO80211Family.kext

Yep, makes total sense. But what doesn't make sense was that HS80211Family.kext was happily loaded in kernel space when I got this message.

 

I was obviously changing too many variables at a time and so confused both myself and my computer !

 

Anyway, no matter.  I can now happily report that the bin-modded High Sierra version of IO80211Family.kext. a.k.a.

HS80211Family.kext, plus the accompanying AR9462 version of AirPortAtheros40.kext TOTALLY WORKS via injection.

 

So, the rumors are true!!!

 

The AR9462 WiFi chip gets one last life on Big Sur.

 

YES, Dirt Cheap 5GHz band WiFi can be yours.

 

This is OFFICIAL on MacOS Big Sur 11.6.4 with OC 0.7.7.

 

Major KUDOS to the Creator(s).

 

A job well done 👍
