Crabhunter Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi, I need a kext from High Sierra 10.13.6 It's AirPortAtheros40 and it's inside IO80211Family.kext in /S/L/E I need it to get my wireless working in Mojave and I only have Sierra installed so I don't have access to the 10.13.6 version. If someone could post it up I'd be very grateful.

Crabhunter Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 No luck with either the kext or installer. Problems with the cache and linked kexts. When I've had more time I'll look into the errors. Thanks for the help so far.

Cyberdevs Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Disable SIP. use the installer or use kext wizard or kext utility to install the AirPortAtheros40.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335749-airportatheros40-kext-from-10136-request/#findComment-2638146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonAce Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 You don't need to put it inside ionetworking kext, just put it in system/libraryThe kext is signed, no need to disable sip.

If @Crabhunter modified the IO80211Family.kext by adding the AirPortAtheros40.kext into the Plugins folder it will make the kexts unsigned and therefore the SIP will prevent the kext from being loaded by macOS.

WinstonAce Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 That's why I said put it /s/l/ and not inside another kext. Confirmed working with sip fully enabled.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335749-airportatheros40-kext-from-10136-request/#findComment-2638184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The installer does exactly the same thing as I described in the details but based on the error crabhunter posted there are bunch of unsigned kext files inside /S/L/E so disabling SIP and rebuilding the system caches can resolve the issue (the errors in the picture).

WinstonAce Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Don't know about installer, manually putting the kext inside /s/l/e and touching the folder the rebulild cache works with SIP.Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335749-airportatheros40-kext-from-10136-request/#findComment-2638189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabhunter Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks everyone. I've got it working now. I have to use a patched IONetworkingfamily.kext to get my ethernet to work and it's conflicting with IO80211family.kext so I can only have WiFi or Ethernet at the moment.
