Intel AC8265 / AC8275 panic and recognized as Ethernet Adapter

[CMMChris]

I built and tried the Kext with my Hackintosh (Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming WiFi Rev1) which has an Intel Wireless AC8265 / AC8275 (0x24FD).

Booting with the Kext injected by Clover or with the Kext in /L/E oder /S/L/E results in a kernel panic after startup of the graphics driver.

When I load the Kext when macOS is running it doesn't crash but creates a new Ethernet interface instead of WiFi. I tried multiple times and removed my Broadcomm WiFi card once. Then it created a WiFi interface one time but the card could not be enabled. The "enable / disable wifi" button does nothing.

I am happy to provide further information / logs and even access to the machine through team viewer. Just tell me what you need.

[CMMChris]

Built the latest version, now the card is recognized as WiFi and not Ethernet anymore. WiFi still can't be turned on though. Log and screenshots attached. intelwifi-logs-screens.zip

[CMMChris]

Latest build does work. I can scan for networks now and enable / disable the card. Great work!

[rv32ima]

Sweet, that's just what I like to hear. Stay tuned for more progress.

I have 8625NGW from H270N-WiFi, is it the same?? I tried the latest build and It's detected but I can't enable Wi-Fi.

Is it needed another configuration besides the kext?

Thank you in advanced.

[CMMChris]

I built from latest sources yesterday and have issues again. A couple of seconds after loading the kext my Hackintoh panics and reboots.

@CMMChris Please download the latest from https://intelwifi.0xcc.pw

[CMMChris]

Thanks, scanning works again with the prebuilt kext. I created a new log for you just in case you want it. log.txt

How do it load?

[ycq3]

I have problem too. In my case,I can see my SSID in log.txt. However,system can not find any wifi. log.txt

[HKMV]

我是使用kextload加载后（使用的是debug版本，release版本一直搜索不到），偶尔能搜索到自己的wifi，但是一直连接不上，提示出错。 这是我的log记录： log.txt

Hi , Maybe you can help, I build it then copied to Kexts / other folder on EFI Volume, restarted and I can't see the network card on Network Menu. Can you tell me what im doing wrong ? Cheers Alvaro

[rv32ima]

DO not ever install this kext in S/L/E or L/E or EFI. I don't know what it is with some Hackintosh users (primarily tmacx86 users), but you never EVER want to install a kext like this into somewhere permanent like there. This is a DEVELOPMENT kext. Not a production ready KEXT.

[johnnynunez]

@hatf0 your development kext is compatible with opencore boot? I tried the commit of rewriting i80211 and the macOS have some kernel panics

[kanekifont]

log.txt Crash issue random, first time after 30min , second time after 5 min

[EfraimLA]

Tried it in Catalina 10.15.4, load without problems but cannot scan nor connect network

[Parthvsquare]

I am currently using the AppleIntel.kext which is i think 8 to 10 months old. it still works but i am not able to get this kext working i tried to install in L/E or C/O used sudo kextload command. I still have no luck getting this kext working

[rv32ima]

@Parthvsquare Do NOT install this kext into L/E.

I will take a look shortly, my testbed consists of an 8260 and 8265, but please do know that I am busy with exams until May 20th and will not be able to fully resolve issues until then

[rv32ima]

@johnnync13 Yes. I primarily use OpenCore as my bootloader, so therefore it should work.

[EfraimLA]

I cannot scan for wifi networks, I'm using clover ):

[gamersekofy]

I can scan for WiFi networks, but it's not reliable. One minute it will show me a list of nearby WiFi networks, and the next the list will be empty. I also can't join any networks

[khokho]

I can scan for WiFi, but It's not reliable for me as well. Can't join any networks(with or without password). I'm using opencore on a new catalina install. here's logs: log.txt

[ifkid]

Latest build does work. I can scan for networks now and enable / disable the card. Great work!

Can u show the steps？ I haved built the kext, and :

sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelWifiAdapter.kext sudo kextutil -v 6 AppleIntelWifiAdapter.kext

it shows successfully load, but does not create any interface.

Is the build ready Also I can’t connect to wep network, can this be placed in c/o like for permanent.

[vaugerbird]

Just went through all the steps, the kext loads fine, but no networks are discovered.

I don't have logs to report as I don't load on boot.

Edit: I forgot to mention I am on 10.15.4

[usr-sse2]

Strange, but it sees many networks of my neighbors (both 2.4 and 5 GHz) but doesn't see my networks on channels 11 and 36. iPhone modem mode network is also not visible.

[eibrunorodrigues]

Hey guys. I was able to find networks, but I cannot connect. Anyone here found a solution?

[HoffmanPT]

Hey guys. I was able to find networks, but I cannot connect. Anyone here found a solution?

Hey, you need to edit plist and add your SSID and PWD. After that you only will connect to that Wi-fi Network.

[salim0786]

Hey all, Wanted to know if this kext is working or not. should I use it?

[mehmetyukcell]

Hey all,

Wanted to know if this kext is working or not. should I use it?

https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless yes, it works
