Hello @johnnync13, I'm trying to access the website but it seems that i need and invitation code to register. Thank you very much |
|
@gplast i don’t have account, but I believe that they have |

Works on 10.15.2 in Xiaomi pro but you have to changes ucode. Better work in Mojave. You must delete SSDT-DRP08.aml Method: enter kext and delete iwm-8265-34 en / Contents / Resource. kext system 10.15: |
|
@johnnync13 Thank you very much for that !! I will test it now and let you know :) |
|
Hey man, nice job. I am trying to follow your instructions I change the file in the kext, fix the permissions and try to use kextload, but when I hit enter the command is executed and the system immediately restarts. What is happening? :/ |
|
@johnnync13 same here. At one point i manage to see the devices, but immediately the computer restarts. I will test it more a see whether there is a way to fix this issue. Do you have any suggestions? Can you confirm that you can use the WIFI without restarts? Thank you again. |
|
It's a great project, but not stable enough for release so far. I will keep an eye on it. |
|
@johnnync13 I don't know if something is messing up with the driver but unfortunately i cannot avoid the restart. I tried everything, different files, i followed your tutorials and then one here but i was able at some point to search for WIFIs and select one, but then i immediately got a restart. There is a kernel trap every time the wifi drivers load. But i can confirm that this is really promising since i can see that the drivers are loaded. If you have something in mind that i can try, please let me know. |

Hello again everyone, I managed to get some progress and decipher some parts out of the Chinese forum
This helped me see the WiFi in the settings menu and even scan for networks, but after 1 minute I get a restart which is common and affects everybody in the Chinese forum. So, it is progress but as @stevezhengshiqi said it is far from stable from now. I will keep following the topic and give any updates here. p.s. @johnnync13 please when you use the work of others, use quotes or give a mention. The process you wrote is a translation from the Chinese forum, which is not bad but let's be kind with the community :)

Wow, this is amazing. Maybe we'll have stable wifi and bluetooth within 6 months :) |
|
Hello again, So i've been following the forum for the past few days just to see whether there is something new. At the same time i tried everything in order to load the kext and avoid the restart. As i was reading the comments i notice someone saying that you need to specify inside the kext the Wifi name and password. After trying several attempts, indeed i was able to connect but after a few seconds the laptop restarts. Following that i saw a link posted by xinyang686: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/ . Inside this link there are several version of intel wifi ucodes. After trying again several of those i found a version(iwlwifi-8265-31.ucode) that it seems that is not causing restarts :) I've been using the wifi for 30 minutes now and i'm able to access the internet. It seems that is not 100% responsive, the internet is slow most of the times, but this is really promising!! Use the attached kext and follow the steps in order to test also on your system and let me know.
Please let me know if you are able to make it work like me. |

|
I've followed your instruction but on the command kextload, it shows an error "Requesting load of AppleIntelWifi.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) dependency load failed; check the system/kernel log for errors or try kextutil(8)." |
|
I tried your method and it really works, but it worked only with 3 attempts the first two times I got an instant reboot, but for the third time everything started up successfully but the method is still not very stable since even after a successful download there are reboots |
|
|
|
Did anyone try with the new update? There is an update with stability fixes for 7265ac which may help with our card too, but I do not have access to the forum as there is a mandatory invite to make an account. Anyone willing to invite us? :) |
You are working on Mojave or Catalina? Which IO80211 you used? ( |
|
I'm working on Catalina and i used the IO80211 which is attached from @johnnync13. |
Good, i'm on Catalina also, but I have another WiFi card, Intel 3165, think it will work |
|
@gplast I think it is more appropriate for us to discuss this work here. Note that this kext is only for Catalina, and If you've installed an old IO80211Family, you need to remove it first. |
|
@Goshin Thank you very much, i will test it now :) |
|
@Goshin Is there a new IO80211Family attached? |
If you are on Catalina, it is no longer needed. The old kext was built with the Mojave's IO80211 stack, so they installed the Mojave's IO80211Family.kext to make it work on Catalina. |
|
Okay @Goshin , thank you, it was my bad, i also removed the IO80211 from /System/Library/Extensions and it was cause an error, i put it back and now is okay. With the original kext that you send me the laptop restarted immediately. After replacing the ucode with version 31, not restart is happening as i suggested on my previous message. The problem is that i'm always connected to a network called UPC5424297 which is strange. Also there is an exclamation mark on the wifi icon. I will test it further and see if can find something, but if you have a clue about this problem please let me know. |
The one that you are referring to is this one https://github.com/zxystd/AppleIntelWifiAdapter and as you see it mentions "Intel Wifi team is continuing develope this project" with the link I mentioned before. |
|
@Cr0wTom AppleIntelWifi team has three members currently, and zxystd is one of them. Also in the contributor graph of https://github.com/AppleIntelWifi/adapter, we can see zxystd provided enormous code. BTW, I truly appreciate all their efforts.👍 |
I really appreciate all their efforts and didn't say anything about who help where, I just said that there is still an active project for the AppleIntelWiFi :)) let's wait and see... By my side I feel blessed that we even have WiFi working so I don't care for anything more, but it's fun to see what they will achieve :D |
|
Itwlm improve speed on last commit |
|
@DjangoOverloard I started it directly in clover. |
|
i followed #413 instructions. nothing happened. i putted .kext file in OC/Kexts and then restarted. When on, clicked on HeliPort but no one wifi appears. Do i need something more? |
I made entries in OC config.plist similar to the other kexts in the OC folder. It's working for me |
I loaded it with hackintool, go to utilities, disable gatekeeper, install kext, rebuilt kext, reboot. Load heliport to put your wifi/ssid. You will need to run heliport at every reboot and put your wi-fi/ssid again but thats a minor thing :) |
You need to add and activate it in the config.plist for OPEN CORE. |
Can you help me? Do you have the entries to write in in plist? |
Sure BundlePath; itlwm.kext
Btw newest Heliport can remember passwords now |
sorry if i bore you all, really. it's a complete new world for me and i REALLY appreciate your help. |
I used open core configurator. Just tick the box where it days "enabled" |
there s a way to contact you? |
just download open core configurator (if you use oc), open the config.plist inside your efi folder, go to kexts and press the plus button on the bottom side. Then fill in the stuff i wrote in my comment before |
done! thank you so much |

Hi im only a simple client of this post, i have xiaomi notebook pro with intel 8265 and hack Catalina 10.15.3, AppleIntelWiFi.kext is working but disconnect and reconnect randomly any improve or suggest? Im available for get any log, only need the instructions. |
|
@retsel89 I suggest people who have concerns with itlwm and Heliport can chat on https://gitter.im/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm for more professional help. Close this issue since itlwm + Heliport are ready to release for daily use. |
|
This works for me pretty well. Thanks for your effort @johnnync13 Catalina 10.15.5 working on Thinkpad T450 |
Does 5Ghz work, I can't seem to connect to 5Ghz networks? |
|
@Mikes0 Yes. |
Hmm, I can't seem to connect to my main router on 5ghz, but 5ghz does work elsewhere - I can connect to a 5ghz hotspot on my phone. Are there any limitations to 5ghz compatibility that might make it not work with my router? |
|
@Mikes0 Yes. Read this. |
|
5Ghz network interference with bt, so if you want to use 5Ghz, turn off bt or stick with 2.4Ghz |
@gplast Hi，i sucess to install。but when i connect the wifi，say it's password is wep model，i can't connect it，but my wifi is wpa2 model。 |
@kavinguan a lot has changed since the message you quoted. The standard EFI you download here from daliansky already contains the Airportitlwm kext, which allows you to use wifi like a normal Mac. just enable the kext corresponding to your os version in config.plist. |
and others
I share with you. Put on in your EFI @stevezhengshiqi @daliansky
