Hope all you are fine . Few days ago I have installed Catalina on my Lenovo IdeaPad 310-15IKB . After Installation complete I was disappointed to see that built in Intel Dual Band Wireless [8086:3166]  not workable with Catalina . Then I keep eye on some GitHub projects which are not stable still now . Though I have build and tested 2 , but no luck , it was loading firmware but not working yet.  These are bellow -

https://github.com/AppleIntelWifi/adapter

https://github.com/ammulder/AppleIntelWiFiMVM

 

Then I found a kext build by a china developer , actually I don't know him ( credits goes to him). Which working perfectly on my device. Also I found many person success with different Intel WiFi card model . So lets try if you have Intel WiFi card. But every step you should follow carefully .

 

1. At first make sure that you disable SIP (System Integrity Protection) . You can disable it via recovery mode. Here I am using Olarila config.plist , MaLd0n sir already

done it in config.plist . Before follow step 2 make sure you have the below code in your config.plist. 

<key>RtVariables</key>
	<dict>
		<key>BooterConfig</key>
		<string>0x28</string>
		<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
		<string>0x67</string>
	</dict>

2. Then run master-disable.command script from Files Folder of your Installation USB . Or you can do it via Terminal alternatively . 

sudo spctl --master-disable

3. Download Post Installation.zip from link bottom of this topic and unzip AppleIntelWiFi.kext.zip by double click ,  right click on AppleIntelWiFi.kext  , then select "Show Package Contents" . Then in Contents folder open info.plist with TextEdit or Xcode and replace BSSID with your router/hotspot SSID(name) and PWD with your router/hotspot password.

4.  Keep this kext as zip , here is a limitation that you can not install/place it in CLOVER/kext/ or in /System/Library/Extensions or in /Library/Extensions .

Please do not install it through any kext installer/hackintool  , your system will face panic , you won not boot later.

So what we will do , in every time after boot into MacOSX we will load the kext temporary via terminal .

i) unzip AppleIntelWiFi.kext.zip by double click. Then Back to Folder.

ii) Right click on "Post Installation Folder" and Select "New Terminal Tab At Folder"

iii) then copy-paste below commands one by one in terminal and hit enter. 

sudo mv ./*.kext /tmp
sudo chown -R root:wheel /tmp/*.kext
sudo kextload /tmp/*.kext

** please do not keep any other kext file in Post Installation Folder , then all will be moved and load.

You are done , if your wireless router active (power on)   and BSSID and PWD was correct then you are connected . After loading kext , the firmware of your card will be loaded and searching network automatically.

***** Later you should follow only step 4 , after every reboot.

Eu não tenho como testar isso.

Mas caso não dê certo, copia a kext e altera com a rede diferente, quando você quiser uma rede diferente dá unload no terminal e carrega a outra manualmente.

boa, vou fazer isso; o comando do unload é  

sudo kextunload /tmp/*.kext

?

 

Eu experienciei uns problemas quando o pc entra em sleep.. ele volta e parece que ta conectado mas nao ta.
tem como contornar esse problema do sleep?

OBs: vi que o post é de 28 de abril e que o japa do projeto comutou 4 dias atrás. 
Será que nao tem uma versão nova do kext atualizada e com menos bugs?
Tentei achar o arquivo kext no repositorio mas nao achei.

https://github.com/zxystd/itlwm/commits/master

Sei lá mano. Vai na fé :)

 

Sobre o comando:

pra carregar a kext

cd documents(a pasta onde ela estiver, eu coloquei a minha aí)

sudo chmod -R 755 *.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel *.kext

sudo kextload *.kext

 

Pra descarregar ela:

cd documents (A pasta onde você colocou a sua)

sudo chmod -R 755 *.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel *.kext

sudo kextunload *.kext

Aqui o bug que dá nela é que as vezes quando abro youtube a net fica lenta e os vídeos quase não carregam.

Daí qualquer outro site fica rápido, inclusive pra fazer download gigantesco demora pouco tempo.

Mas nada que no momento eu sinta necessidade de modificar.

Eu não dou sleep, daí não sabia desse bug.

Eu sempre deixo o notebook direto no carregador, com a bateria desconectada.

Eu não sei essas baterias novas, mas a do meu primeiro notebook durou menos de um ano, então houve ocasiões que precisava dela com energia e durava pouco, daí decidi usar notebook direto na energia, sem a bateria conectada. Só conecto quando tenho de levar pra algum lugar que eu não queira levar o carregador.

sudo chown -R root:wheel *.kext

Quando faço isso da dando kernel panic :(
Fiz esse sh para conectar, funciona perfeito: 

#!/bin/bash

echo "#1/9 - removing AppleIntelWiFi.kext"
 rm -rf AppleIntelWiFi.kext

echo "#2/9 - removing /tmp/AppleIntelWiFi.kext"
 rm -rf /tmp/AppleIntelWiFi.kext

echo "#3/9 - unziping wifi2GKext.zip"
unzip wifi5GKext.zip

echo "#4/9 - unloading existing kexts on /tmp/*.kext"
kextunload /tmp/*.kext

echo "#5/9 - disabling master"
spctl --master-disable 

echo "#6/9 - moving extracted kext to /tmp"
mv ./*.kext /tmp

echo "#7/9 - chown"
chown -R root:wheel /tmp/*.kext

echo "#8/9 - loading kext"
kextload /tmp/*.kext

echo "#9/9 - finished"

 

Mas dai eu ia fazer um para desconectar.. tava testando os comandos conforme aquele citado acima, a única coisa que muda é o caminho.  

sudo chmod -R 755 /tmp/*.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel /tmp/*.kext
sudo kextunload /tmp/*.kext

Porém quando executo a ultima linha (do unload) da kernel panic. 

 

Alguma ideia?
