How can I run this USB adapter on Sequioa?
Thank you for your help with the necessary kexts and config.

Vendor=2357 ProdID=0604

 

Should mount Realtek RTL8761B chipset ... not compatible
You can check via Ioreg

 

Here in the example Asus BT400

@Anto65It looks like this for me, how should I add it?

So, what chipset does this dongle use: Broadcom or Intel? It can't be both, right? Yet, you are using intel as wel as Broadcom kexts in your config. And your MinKernel/MaxKernel settings are wrong.

 

If this dongle is complatible with macOS, you need to sort out the kexts and settings: https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/blob/main/14_OCLP_Wintel/Enable_Features/WiFi_Sonoma.md

@cankiulascmnfye thank you

1-How do I find out the chipset? 

--https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211119171443.986541312@linuxfoundation.org/ 

--it says on this site rtl8761B

2-I would be happy if you edit the config?😌

Guess why I spend hours writing these instructions? So I don't have to edit other people's config files

 

As  Anto65 stated already, your dongle uses a Realtek chipset and there are no macOS kexts available for it. I could find the firmware on github, though: https://github.com/amcabezas/bt_rtl8761b-fw?tab=readme-ov-file

 

But someone would have to create a kext which injects the BT firmware into macOS. But I doubt this will happen.

thanks you....

For kext, I will wait for help from experts who are more knowledgeable than me.🙃

 

[Anto65]

Maybe it's quicker to change the device and get a compatible one (Broadcom)
than wait for someone to generate a kext for TPLink 🤷‍♂️

 

You can still disable / delete those Kexts that you have loaded , they are useless at the moment

 

 

as well as the entries in nvram

Windows supported and chip RTL8761b. There is no MacOS support.

It's a bit old but can I run this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
