Cyberdevs Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Add FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_Broarcom_WiFi.kext might help you to get the wifi working. see here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Fake-PCI-ID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floodlitworld Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 You have to open the xcodproj file with XCode and then build it for your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian Maverick Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 btw, Skylake use iMac17,1, not MacPro5,1 hello, I am using MacPro 5,1 because I run a Gtx 1070 Pascal Video card and Nvidia driver says that the machine must be MacPro 5,1 or 6,1. If I change to iMac17,1 will wifi works? and will 1070 Gtx still works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 send me your IOReg using so I can see if it's working with your wifi adapter or not. No problem, I'll get back to you on that. hello, I am using MacPro 5,1 because I run a Gtx 1070 Pascal Video card and Nvidia driver says that the machine must be MacPro 5,1 or 6,1.

You don't have to use MacPro SMBIOS just for your nVidia adapter, I use the same graphic adapter and I use iMac17,1 SMBIOS, all you have to do is to add nVidiaFixUp.kext and Lilu.kext to your kext folder in clover. /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaLd0n Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 MacPro5,1 is a "Bloomfield, Westmere, Gulftown" iMac17,1 use ur processor SMBIOS is not a cosmetic Load correct profile, good PM, etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 nVidiafixup.kext https://sourceforge.net/projects/nvidiagraphicsfixup/ Lilu.kext https://github.com/vit9696/Lilu MacPros don't have Skylake CPUs inside but the latest iMac17,1 has a Skylake processor, it's better to use the iMac17,1 SMBIOS to get the full utilization of the skylake architecture, and it has a better chance for power management on skylake processors.

Thanks a lot for your support. No problem dude We're all learning new stuff everyday I can't find any useful info on your wifi chipset go to the following URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/dpcimanager/ download the DPCIManager and run it and send me a snapshot so I can find out your wifi's device ID Click the PCI list and click update IDs then make a snapshot and post it here, justify the columns so I can read the whole info.

Cyberdevs Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 OK, Here goes nothing I'm not sure if it's gonna work or not because I don't have the same mainboard as you but it is worth a shot You have to copy the file I attached inside /System/Library/Extensions/ BUT BEFROE YOU DO make a copy of "IO80211Family.kext" to your desktop and then replace the existing file with the one I posted, after that run "Kext Utility" to fix the permissions of the "Extensions" folder then reboot your computer and see if your wifi is working. Hopefully it works! Fingers Crossed! Don't forget to copy the original file to your desktop for replacing it if it didn't work.

I noticed that in the system / extension folder there is also a file called "IO80211FamilyV2.kext" . I don't know if it does matter.. Anyway thanks a lot for your help!!
