@Anto65 - Bro I have a theory, I think there is a conflict between his updated OpenCore and his DSDT.

I have mad respect for @MaLd0n and the files he builds for individuals but I find one can sometimes run into problems if there is a drastic change in the OS which I think should call for another revision of the built specialised file.

 

I am by far no expert but I dumped my DSDT in Windows and then extracted all the SSDT files I needed for my Z490.

I dare say someone more p/c savvy could find flaws in my setup but for me and my limited ability, my rig runs like a well oiled Mac no matter what I throw at it.

... until I decided to update my OpenCore from 0.9.9 to 1.0.0 all hell broke loose and I lost wifi.

@deeveedee before I had wifi and didn't use RebaseRegions or NormalizeHeaders and wifi worked, after using OCLP.

 

I haven't tested OC 1.0.0 (waiting for the official release), but I don't see anything in the OC commits that would have broken Wi-Fi.  I think your issue is as described by Anto65 and me - you need to upgrade IOSkwalkFamily.kext.  If that doesn't do it, I'll be pleasantly surprised to hear how reverting to OC 0.9.9 did the trick.

 

My observations about RebaseRegions and Normalize headers weren't intended to solve Wi-Fi, but only my own learned best practices with manually patched DSDT.  I'd say more, but you wouldn't believe the $#^&-storm of a discussion that may follow in this forum.  Best to leave it there.

Please clarify - No wifi in Windows also?

You've piqued my interest.  After you extracted the DSDT and SSDTs, what did you do with them?

Have you disabled DSDT?

Exchanged kexts

Have you reset nvram?
Did you revert the patch and reapply it again?

 

I also think that OC (1.0.0) cannot break WI-FI somehow

Yes that's why I asked to disable DSDT and boot Win without it

Right or wrong, I followed the 'Dortania OC Install Guide' and extracted the DSDT in Windows.

Then from the DSDT.aml, ran the command to build the SSDT.aml files for my system, which according to the Guide, this is the easy way.

 

I then ran MasiASL for any errors, zipped and ported them to my OC/ACPI Folder.

Reboot, clean NvRAM and all was well and still is so far.

ACPI patching automation has come a long way - I'll need to review it.  OS updates don't change ACPI (don't change DSDT and SSDTs).

 

EDIT: If you update BIOS and/or change BIOS settings, then you may need to re-extract ACPI and create new patches.  Also true if you add / remove devices.

Thanks for the info, BTW isn't the latest OCLP version 1.5.0 oppose to 1.4.0 or something of the sort? I am not sure.

At the moment I am running the Nightly 1.5.0 without any problems.

You're also using OC-MOD! ? ... if I'm not mistaken 🫣

Yes I think he is as I also saw those.

@MaLd0n tends to use the OC Mod version in his builds.

Yes I'm using OC Mod, and I now don't have conflicts with macOS And Windows, they work well together...

 

I reset the NVRAM, but no I didn't revert the patch or disable the DSDT, but I'm doing it now...

I guess I missed the fact that we're trying to fix Wi-Fi in Windows.  My mistake.

@MorenoAv Bro, I don't think you answered my query whether wifi is working in Windows.

The reason I asked, I had a T-919 stopped working, only B/T was available.

Sorry if I missed the reply.

@eSaF and @Anto65 I thought I was fairly good at asking questions when providing assistance, but I realize I need to add a question:  "When you say you are using Open Core, do you mean the official Open Core or an unreleased, forked version of Open Core?"

Mine is the official OpenCore, I did use the OC MOD when it was previously introduced by (can't quite remember the name without research) which was then abandoned 

by him because of criticism/ ridicule from certain quarters. This lead to others taking up the project, but I stopped using it as the updates at that time after was quite slow compared to the official OC.

 

To be quite honest, the concept was/is quite useful as it is structured to negate dual booting with Windows by not interfering or influencing that install as far as I understood the idea.

@eSaF agree that it is a good concept.  I remember briefly following the OC MOD project (never using) and providing a suggestion that OC MOD include a feature which allows easily toggling between multiple versions of config.plist.  But nothing that compelled me to abandon the official version (and now nothing that compels me to abandon the official released version of OC).  My days of regularly building my own OC from a GitHub branch are over.

@MorenoAv Congrats.  When you return with your explanation, I'd love to know whether the problem you reported was with Windows or macOS.  I now realize I need to add another question to my repertoire: "You said Wi-Fi is not working on your hackintosh.  Did you mean your hackintosh when running Windows or your hackintosh when running macOS?"  To be honest, that question never occurred to me before.  🤣

I suppose OC Mod is useful for problematic systems but I am curious if our friend @MorenoAv could build his OC EFI the official way using the method in the Dortania Guide.

Including trying the recommended prebuilt SSDT files or try building his own and see what result he gets.

 

There is nothing wrong with getting someone to build an EFI Folder or specialised files for you but at least try and understand what the process entailed so that you can help your self with future problems.

Sooner or later you will need to figure out what has gone wrong as you can't keep running to your original helper each time.

 

In the past I too seeked help from @MaLd0n but as I built/upgrade machines, I learned to understand as much as I could by reading Guides and other members' posts and applying the same methods.

Sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't but I learned what worked and what didn't.

@eSaF, @deeveedee, @Anto65,

 

First I want to say that I use OC Mod because I used break all my Windows with the OC Official, I don't have a preference in what OC I use, I only want fewer problems with my OS.

For that reason I am able to make EFI That worked following the guide for dortania and with SSDT's pre built I did it on several occasions, before trying the SSDT.aml from @MaLd0n.

After asking @MaLd0n to make me a ssdt.aml I stayed with it, and it works almost all the time.

None the less my problems with Wii were in macOS in Windows the Wifi worked.

I hope to have explained all

No worries man, use what work best for you but I think you should still try to learn what goes on under the hood.

I suppose it's easy for me to say as I have loads of time on my hands after leaving the Rat Race behind and found a past time of Tinkering.

 

If the truth be known, Tinkering caused me to have more crashes than Ayrton Senna but I always learned to have a bootable backup and not to do that thing I tried again.

Trust me man, I have pulled many all nighters along the way causing me to sleep in the spare bedroom at times by a disgruntled wife.
