DSDT patch requests

Speedal replied to oldnapalm's topic in DSDT & Patch Requests

Hi MaLd0n, I thought I had resolved most of my needs with the message on inasanelymac, but I'm still in need of a DSDT. Plus, I have to use the LAN (and the the router is at 10 mts, in the next room ) since if I try to install my Archer AC 600 T2U (V.1) Nano usb wifi port with the TP link drivers (https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-t2u-nano/#Driver) I get everything messed up and the Mojave disk simply won't find the right entry to boot OS X. So I have to start again installation . Can you please help me? Send me iMac-di-Alberto.zip
