CloverLeaf Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Hello! I am using my HP EliteDesk (from the signature) last few months under Big Sur and now Monterey 12.6 equiped with Intel 8260NGW card. Both wifi and bluetooth worked perfectly until yesterday. I didn't change or update anything. Turned on my computer and HeliPort says "itlwm is not running". Fast kext check in terminal shows that the kext is loaded correctly. Both HeliPort and itlwm.kext are updated to the latest versions. Tried older versions - same result. Tried clean Big Sur and Monterey install - same result. Ventura - same result. Bluetooth works. Any help is appreciated. EFI 0C 0.8.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 @Jazzoo I'm not an itlwm user, but will try to help. What does the itlwm diagnostic report show? Looks like you can generate logs as shown here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloverLeaf Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 @deeveedee DebugEnhancer.kext installed and log generated. It says unknow version in the report but in Terminal it shows 2.2.0. Strange... bugreport_37660.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 @Jazzoo In BIOS, do you have Fast Boot disabled? That's the only thing I can think of from here. If so and that's not the problem, you may want to submit a bug report with logs on OpenIntelWireless GitHub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloverLeaf Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 Yea, Fast Boot is disabled. I switch to AirportItlwm.kext to test and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 @Jazzoo Here are some things to check: Antenna's are properly and securely connected (don't force any of the tiny connections - they should snap into place). Note that the designed life of the antenna connectors on the Wi-Fi card supports only a small number of connect/disconnect before the connections are not as reliable (I think it might be as low as 30 times). Never force these connections and don't connect/disconnect them unless absolutely necessary Check this issue Wi-Fi card is properly seated on the motherboard Try manually unloading / loading itlwm.kext after booting. Does the card's behavior change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloverLeaf Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 It's more likely a software problem. With AirportItlwm.kext everything works without any problems at the moment. I need more time to test if it's realible in long term. Besides that I already did all the steps mentioned. I installed Windows 11 (with No TPM/Secure Boot check) on a spare SSD and wifi/bt works perfectly. This is really really strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 @Jazzoo I happened to be looking at itlwm and noticed that there are different kexts for each version of macOS. This is probably a dumb question since you know more about itlwm than I do, but are you certain that you are using the correct version of itlwm for the version of macOS that you are testing?

CloverLeaf Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 @deeveedee - Yes, I've tested all three operating systems Big Sur, Monterey and Ventura with the appropriate kexts for them and... no luck. I can't complain now since AirportItlwm.kext works well without the need of any additional software like HeliPort. I have the same 75/75 U/D speeds so I am happy with my hack Thanks!

1Ale1 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Has anybody tried AirportOpenBSD? I was thinking about upgrading to Ventura but I was unsure about what version should I use for my WiFi card (Intel 9560NGW) - the guys at github.com/OpenIntelWireless left their latest release updated to Jan 1, 2022 and still has no official compatibility with macOS 13 (Ventura) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random restarts and system freezes. If you want to upgrade to Ventura go for 8260/8265 with the appropriate kexts for Ventura. Best option is BCM94360NG. Depends on where you live, you can find it as cheaper as 35$.Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
