What wifi module for L340-15IRH

[intommy]

Hi,

i have almost functional hack on my Lenovo L340-15IRH laptop.

Last one what i need is replace RTL2281 Wifi/BT modul.

i tested DW1820A (works on my Toshiba) and Apple A1465 A1466 653-0023 BroadCom BCM94360CS2 Wireless WIFI Bluetooth Card (also works on my Toshiba Tecra Z40-C-11e)

But system dont recognize cards in widows or mac. 

Dont get any warning msg about whitelist - cant clear whitelist, bios is locked, so i need use som programmer for this and i affraid about warancy

Someone on this video have a similar laptop but i7 and use Dell DW1560. But on Ebay sellers mostly wrote:. This wireless card could not compact with any IBM/Thinkpad/IBM or HP version laptop.

DW1560 is "expansive card".. so i am rly not sure if this card be functional in my L340-15IRH... 

Laptop have m.2 slot for wlan, but ofc i can use some cable with m.2 to minipci etc...

What now.. ?

Any idea/tip?

Hmm, for test i put DW-1820A (before i tested only in OSX) inside laptop and its works for Windows 10, so i think here is chance to work about DW1560, or i wrong? What u think?

interesting...

/ i tested DW1820a like two hours in Windows without any trouble on wifi and with BT speaker on/

seems alot DW card do alot strange things...

Btw is here any chance got Device path without system OSX up? i cant boot with enabled wifi (when i disable wifi in bios, system boot), and cant set ASPM to 0 without Device path. On my Tecra is works, on Lenovo not, but here on lenovo l340 i got BT on DW1820a, just need ASPM set i think for next step..

Maybe thanks F4 in clover? is here in ACPI any info about that path?

need this for clover injection, i dont know that path

after 10 min booting i booted system up and got device path ??

but it is not as easy as I thought, the first KP surprised me immediately

 

With blocket AirportBRCMFixup.kext i boot normally but no wifi ofc, but anyway with enabled wifi in BIOS

Wifi DW1802a //1028:0023 (part # CN-08PKF4)//  atm not works on L340-15IRH, BT yes (on Toshiba Tecra DW work, BT not  ).

Got card inside PCI list and device list, get device path... testing diferent boot-args for  AirportBrcmFixup, tested without. KP or no boot is result atm.

So still waiting for another one CN card

while waiting i remember i forgot test also pin masking on DW1820a and Lenovo L340-15IRH.

result? Working BT and 2,4WIFI even without ASPM disabled actually, still testing (also new CN DW1820a still on way)

testing with ASPM disabled, inject thru Clover

also without it! Same result BT and Wifi 2,4 is UP, no 5GHz wifi

At end i test also Boot Argument brcmfx-driver=#a  - no wifi at all

Strange, but ..Hackintosh is not for Lazy People

result:

 

• Card: DW1820A, #08PKF4, 1028:0023
• Hackintosh: Lenovo L340-15IRH Gaming:
• macOS versions: Mojave 10.14.6 atm (BT ok, atm only 2,4 wifi)
• Patch: same result with or without clover injection: “compatible pci14e4,4353" property injection in Clover - APSM disabled
• Kexts: BrcmAirportFixup, for BT: BrcmBluetoothInjector, BrcmFirmwareData, BrcmPatchRAM3.kext
• Boot parameter: with brcmfx-driver=#a NO WIFI, without it WIFI 2,4
• Tricks: Pin-masked 2+3
