bug: wifi patcher seems to not work with enterprise wpa2 wifi

Open diepoe opened this issue 3 years ago • 21 comments

I have a MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012 Unibody and the installation worked fine with this patcher. Thank you. But i'm unable to connect to the wifi of my school. It's a Enterprise WPA2 wifi were you have to enter your domain login credentials (username and password). I'm able to login to the wifi but if I've entered my login credentials and trusted the wifi security certifcate, it tries to connect to the network for 10 sec. and then disconnects. If I connect my MacBook with ethernet to the network it works fine, also using my private wpa2 wifi works great. If you could fix that i would be very happy because it's a big difference if i can use my schools wifi. I attached the information of my wifi card on this issue (its german, im sorry for that).

I am having the exact same issue, 11.0.1, on a late 2012 A1425 13" retina MBP.

Please uninstall your 3rd party antivirus if you done so. (Every single report @barrykn received of this throughout Big Sur's development cycle has involved 3rd party antivirus, like AVG or Kaspersky or Norton or whatever. It's ALWAYS a bad idea to run 3rd party antivirus on a brand new macOS release.) If you didn't do so, you might need to contact your administrator to use Ethernet instead.

I don’t have one as far I know....

Would you consider “cleanmymacX” an antivirus?

Yes, CleanMyMac X 4 or later is also a third-party antivirus (made by MacPaw, Inc.) and it must be uninstalled - otherwise the patch will never function.

README.md:

If you have installed any 3rd-party antivirus program or security suite, make sure to uninstall it before installing Big Sur (or do a fresh installation instead of an upgrade). It is not sufficient to turn the antivirus program off -- it must be uninstalled. If you do not uninstall it, you may have no Internet connection after Big Sur is installed, and the Wi-Fi patch may fail to work.

Thanks for the tip.

I’m going to uninstall it.

Should I run the post install patch again now? (V0.04 patcher bensova patcher), patch kexts...

Bear in mind- it’s ONLY WPA2 enterprise networks I have an issue with. My wifi works on all other networks... eg my home WPA2 Personal network.

i haven't installed any third party antivirus on my macbook, also the normal wpa2 wifi bugs now if i take my macbook to energy safing mode. with ethernet it works sometimes but i'm unable to use ethernet in my school lessons,only on my computer science job at my school

I uninstalled cleanmymacX and re-patched

made no difference. WPA2 Enterprise bug persists. any further suggestions? thanks

hello guys, has there been any update to fix the WPA2 connectivity on BIG SUR? please help me. I really need to have wife since i am using Macbook Air Mid 2012 that has no ethernet support.

Hello @SanchoDarlington, normal WPA2 seems to work with the patcher (at least at my MacBook Pro).

diepoe avatar Apr 16 '21 18:04 diepoe

what about the Enterprise? I need to connect to my school wifi

SanchoDarlington avatar Apr 16 '21 18:04 SanchoDarlington

WPA2 enterprise network not working at all but the rest are perfectly working but what i need most if the WPA2 enterprise network

SanchoDarlington avatar Apr 16 '21 18:04 SanchoDarlington

I just switched to the OpenCore Legacy Patcher, now everything is working for me fine. (@SanchoDarlington)

diepoe avatar Jun 02 '21 14:06 diepoe

Even Sidecare works (although my MacBook isn't supported official for that)

diepoe avatar Jun 02 '21 14:06 diepoe

HAUDRAUFHAUN, Am i to reinstall my macbook all over again with BigSur or i just need to use this patch? Is the Open Core Legacy Patcher able to connect to WPA2 Enterprise wifi networks?

SanchoDarlington avatar Jun 02 '21 21:06 SanchoDarlington

@SanchoDarlington yeah, it works.

Just create an installer like normal, it should automatic use the data from your actual hard drive

diepoe avatar Jun 03 '21 04:06 diepoe

can you kindly give me the download? and if possible a guide?
