Intel 8265- MacOS Assumes all Networks WEP

[mahdose]

I managed to run version 411 on my Catalina for Intel 8265, all WiFi networks when entering passwords (or for those with no security), a prompt appearing that network was previously set to be WPA2/WPA3 and it asks to reconnect over WEP which is not secure. I fail to connect to any network!

That's.. not normal. Previously, that was related to an alignment issue with the 802.11 structs, but that issue should no longer exist. Please send me the "Driver Version" string within System Profiler/System Information

Wondering can I select any of available APs and correct WEP/WPA/WPA2 auth? Also As it's working fine, can I load ie in E/L? Can we support AC connection as well?

Uh, I’m fairly certain you’re not using the kext that I’ve released here. Are you using the “AppleIntelWifi” kext (also known as the PCBeta kext)? I don’t support that one.

@hatf0 Oh, seems I got confused using many versions until I got the only "working one".

Now with the proven driver you developed, here are the results:
