Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560

[lvs1974]

Hello, tried this driver, here is an log output:
dmesg.txt

Everything looks ok, but there is no available wi-fi device in mac os.

[ellie-idb]

Looks like I need to revert one of the changes I made earlier- the log shows a regression. Thank you!

[lvs1974]

@hatf0: I will be glad if my log can help somehow. Thank you!

[lvs1974]

With the latest commit (8ef98774e9b8d1f69139373511540c3bb84cb619) the driver works a bit better: Wi-Fi device is available in the system (and in Network preferences pane). I also tried to turn on/off wifi using menu bar icon, but it seems to be inconsistent with the current status in Network preferences pane.
The problem is that device is displayed as "Turned off", and when I try to press this button, nothing happens.
dmesg.txt

Thank you!

[vladdenisov]

Same for me on Intel Wireless-AC 8265.
Thank you!

[vladdenisov]

Still I don't really know how to make logs.
But I managed to get some part of it.
dmesg.txt
Maybe it can help you somehow.

[ellie-idb]

@lvs1974 It seems that the Wi-Fi card still existing is an issue from running the other intel wifi kext- but otherwise your hardware does initialize properly.

[ellie-idb]

@vladdenisov That dmesg file doesn’t contain anything relating to the kext. But if it’s the same- be patient as change will come soon

[lvs1974]

@vladdenisov: dmseg it is a cyclic buffer, it has a size 4096 bytes by default. In order to increase this size, you should add a boot-arg: msgbuf=1048576 (maximum size).
@hatf0: I will try to remove these files from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and repeat:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.network.identification.plist
com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist

[tikscr]

I also have Intel AC-9560, but i get kernel panic instead with this kext (built a few minutes ago). Could it be conflict between usb wi-fi and this or .kext for intel bt?
log.panic.zip
panic_after_load.txt

@lvs1974 can you share your kext?

[lvs1974]

@tikscr: try to put your kext into /Library/Extensions, or load it in terminal via kextutil.
I also had the same exception. It seems to be sporadic.

[tikscr]

@lvs1974 i've put kext into /L/E - and system boots OK, kext is mentioned a lot of times in boot log, but it's missing from loaded kexts as well as wi-fi is still missing from my laptop. Loading via kextutil causes kernel panic a few seconds later. Also, kexutil mentions issue with sign of kext, maybe it's the main problem? btw, i've tried both release and debug configurations of build.

[vladdenisov]

I don't really know if this log is helpful, but i've tried to follow lvs1974 instructions :/
dmesg.txt

Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8265.

[dhinakg]

You can use the following command for a cleaner log.
log show --last boot --predicate 'process == "kernel"' | grep -i intel > ~/Desktop/log.txt
@tikscr Signing shouldn't be a problem as long as you have SIP for unsigned kexts off. The kext isn't up to the point where it'll show up as a network interface yet. Back when I built it, (xcodebuild from Terminal) I had to use the release version, not the debug version, for the proper code to run. Haven't built it recently so I don't know whether hatf0 has fixed the issue.

[tikscr]

@dhinakg well, in my case (dell g5, ac-9560) release version ( i built it by xcodebuild) causes kernel panic in every case i've tried (kextutil, kextload, l/e and clover/kexts/other). Debug version seems to be not working at all.
Release version without last commit acts the same way.
All comands i do are:

• git clone
• xcodebuild
• fix permissions with command from project's readme

I think, that either my kext is not 100% correct or there might be some conflict with other kexts.

[ellie-idb]

@tikscr I know why. The problem with developing this is that there’s not a clear distinction between memory which has been allocated through allocatePacket and memory that’s been allocated with IOAlloc, and I assume I missed a place where memory is actually allocated from such- your panic log shows this. Sadly it’s not as simple as calling free() for everything :(

I’ll take a look and see where it’s panicking though.

[tran-steve]

how about AC 3160? whare can I get kext file and how to install it?

[taina0407]

I'm also having trouble with AC 9560 (M2 Key E/M intergrated)

1. First try is to install kext in EFI/OC/Kexts (OpenCore) => Kernel Panic
   Kernel_2020-02-29-000555_XXX.panic.txt

2. Second try with kextload -v => Its create new Ethernet en2 interface
   AppleIntelWifiAdapter-log-try2.txt

3. Third try with kextload :
   after using kext unload and remove plists in SystemConfiguration as @lvs1974 mention (other files not found so I've only removed two files: com.apple.airport.preferences.plist & NetworkInterfaces.plist) => Its create new Ethernet en2 interface again
   AppleIntelWifiAdapter-log-try3.txt

Hope these information will be helpful

[Timothybas]

Same here it's creating Ethernet en1 interface. I tried to unload kext and reloaded again but still, the problem persists.

Here my log.
log.txt

[vladdenisov]

Same here even with latest commits. Tried to load and unload kext 3 times.

Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8265.
log.txt

[Timothybas]

@vladdenisov is that worked with earlier commits?

[vladdenisov]

@Timothybas nope. It didn't.

[ellie-idb]

@vladdenisov @Timothybas This is intended behavior. I'm still decently within the card initialization phase and have to continually unload and reload the kext in order to develop. This isn't possible with the IO80211Controller, as there's a release loop or something within CoreWLAN. My bet is that Apple wouldn't even attempt to fix it either, and we're probably going to build two different versions of the kext.

[Timothybas]

@hatf0 Great improvement. Now it's listed as WiFI in network settings but not searching any devices here is my
log.txt
(May help you to debug the issue)

[tikscr]

Latest version of kext doesn't load on AC-9560. OS version - 10.15.4
log.txt
It says, that library kext com.apple.iokit.IO80211Family not found.
But OS doesn't have this kext neither in S/L/E or L/E/
@hatf0 UPDATE: Somehow, on my hackintosh SIP was enabling on it's own and i couldn't load that kext. But as of now (27.03.20),after correctly disabled SIP, kext doesn't load on boot (i put it in clover). The only way to load it is to use kextutil in terminal.

Preference unknown state issue fixed but not searching WiFi networks around (Tested with 2G)

Uploading log.txt…

[lvs1974]

I have the same (yellow) state (the latest revision 5526d3ba0546fc6690fec19b130e8dbe184c98a1).
And I don't see any SSID names neither in Wi-Fi menu nor in log.

[vladdenisov]

Hello! That's good a progress! Can now see networks around me in log, but not in preferences.

[lvs1974]

@hatf0, could you have a look at my log, please?
With the latest commit 9297292d57516266239aa02f4549fa7502bd70b9 still there are no network names.
log.txt

[Timothybas]

unknown state issue is back with the recent commit and as @lvs1974 told no networks in both panel and logs.

[ellie-idb]

Your card unfortunately crashes while scanning... I’ll make an issue for this, but this is a known issue and @1Revenger1 has brought this to my attention as well. There’s sadly a variety of things it could be..
ERR: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000

[Timothybas]

Yeah it's strange it was fine before few days

Now that issue is back.(after this commit)

[lvs1974]

@hatf0, @1Revenger1: with the latest commit (65a93bf530c06c4dd1d3ef5b12b5afbe04dece6a) I have got a kernel panic. Could you have a look, please?
AppleIntelWifiAdapterV2_panic.txt
AppleIntelWifiAdapterV2.kext.zip

[ellie-idb]

My bad, this is related to the new flow with 802.11. Will fix soon @lvs1974

[ellie-idb]

@lvs1974 I've just pushed a commit that tries to fix this, can you take a look?
Please note: if you try to join a network, scanning will NOT work until you remove that network from your Auto-Join list. I need to implement the code that makes that work.

[esemiz]

I have Intel AC-9560, but I got "Driver failed to start" message.
Can you check the log file ?

log.txt

[1Revenger1]

@esemiz did you reboot from windows? A warm reboot from windows breaks firmware uploading it seems.
Need to do a full shutdown then startup if coming from windows

Edit: Documented here

[Timothybas]

@hatf0 @1Revenger1 any good news for CNVi card users?

Edit: Still I can see AppleIntelWifiAdapter ERR: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000.

[lvs1974]

@hatf0, @1Revenger1, with the latest driver my wi-fi does not work.
Yesterday I boot into Windows and install a few updates, one of them was for Wi-Fi card.
Can it be related?

Yes you're right full shutdown fix that problem thank you.

I can see WiFi interface to network settings. When I try to connect my home's wifi network sometimes it says move closer. I am already very close to wifi device. Sometimes it says network cant found. Added screenshots and log file.

Removed my home's wifi from auto-join list before trying to connect.

[mehmetyukcell]

Yes, I have a same problem too.

[dhinakg]

That means it's working fine. The kext can't connect to networks yet, scanning is as far as it's gone.

[tikscr]

I've finally managed to make driver work properly on my system. And it seems, that driver randomly shows networks in scanning results and ignores 2.4 ghz networks (but they are present in log of scanning).

UPDATE: it seems, that recognizing 2.4 ghz networks takes a little bit more time.

Hi I have the same issue. Driver fails to start. I tried full shutdown, power disconnecting, rebooting from linux. Tried kext from the repository and built it myself. Nothing works.

I tried itlwm driver from a sister repository. I built it and load it. The driver loads and makes scanning. It correctly determines all the networks , but doesn't connect to the Redmi network for a reason I don't know. But at least it communicates with the hardware. And it loads and makes scanning despite everything and after windows soft reboot also.

Do you connect wifi adress?

[colcrunch]

After cloning the repo and building the kext I got it to load, but I am only seeing one or two networks at a time.

[larson-carter]

@hatf0 So what is the status of this driver? Will I be able to use it with my laptop? Is it completely stable for me to join and use my WiFi network?

[dhinakg]

https://github.com/AppleIntelWifi/adapter#purpose

[larson-carter]

@dhinakg What are you wanting me to gather from that? I just asked what the status of this particular device was? I know some people are having mixed results.

[dhinakg]

Given the sentence

This kext does not function yet.

in the README, the prior comments in this issue, and the lack of recent commits since those comments, I believe it is fairly easy to come to the conclusion that it does not work yet.

Hi, I just opened Xcode and compile the project; then changed the permissions and load the kext using "kextload -b 6" command.

Now, I tried to load again face the following message: "AppleIntelWifiAdapter ERR: SecBoot CPU1 Status: 0x30d0001, CPU2 Status: 0x2"

Hello, i have this Wireless Card on my Device and i can confirm it works (i'm using Debug build from commit 6219dd370), but however i can't see any SSID (i can see it but it somehow missing again after several minutes) or even connect (even using Hidden SSID)

hi there,
i have the Intel AC 9560 wifi chip but i couldnt create the kext.
i would like some help with download/create it.
