[AirPortBrcmFixup] Cannot connect to any network / WiFi detection no longer works

[AirPortBrcmFixup] Cannot connect to any network / WiFi detection no longer works

Specs :

- LAPTOP : TOSHIBA C50-A-1DE :

- CPU / GPU : i3-3110m with HD 4000, patched via OC Legacy Patcher.

- RAM : 8gb RAM ddr3 SODIMM

- Storage : 320GB HDD

- WiFi card : Broadcom BCM943225HM / Ethernet : Atheros GBe card

- Audio Codec : Not found yet, I'll try to find it with Ubuntu.

- Camera and Card reader, internally connected in USB

- OpenCore 0.9.3, Latest Lilu and AirPortBRCMFixup, all in debug version with debug args

- AirPortBRCM4360_injector have MaxKernel set at 19.9.9

Issue :

The WiFi suddenly stopped working, the WiFi keeps disabled, and the detection doesn't work.

This happen after creating SSDT-PM, and restarting multiple times (the battery and wifi worked at the same time, at the beginning. And WiFi worked for some days before this happen.)

Lilu and AirPortBRCMFixup are loaded in macOS, as I can see with 'kextstat':

WiFi Card is detected by macOS :

I can eventually give you a dmesg log, if needed.

  1. Hey Matheo, based on the details you've provided, here are a few steps that might help fix your issue:

    1. Reset your network settings: On macOS, you can reset your network settings by deleting the following files from `/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/`:

    - com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    - NetworkInterfaces.plist
    - preferences.plist

    After deleting these files, reboot your system. Please keep in mind that this will reset all network settings, including stored WiFi networks and passwords.

    2. Reinstall your WiFi kext: Reinstall the AirPortBrcmFixup.kext. Ensure that you have the latest version of the kext. Also, double-check your config.plist to make sure you've correctly set MaxKernel.

    3. Check your hardware: Ensure that your WiFi card is properly seated in its slot and that it's not showing any signs of physical damage. It's possible, though unlikely, that the card might have suddenly failed.

    4. Try a different OS or Linux live CD: Boot into a different operating system (like Ubuntu, as you mentioned) or a live Linux CD to see if the WiFi is working there. If it's not, this might be a hardware issue.

    :)
