Intel WiFi Not Working

[Yardnuk]

I followed the instructions listed in README.md, and I still cannot get the WiFi to work. I keep getting the following message in the terminal: "mv: rename ./AppleIntelWiFi.kext to /temp/AppleIntelWiFi.kext: Directory not empty". I'm not sure what to do about this, so I thought I would ask. Thank you!

This is happening if you already did the process, the File is already existent in your /tmp folder so when you run the script again it tells you that you alread have a file there, just reboot your system and the file will be gone because of the temporary characteristics of this directory.

But i too have problems with the WiFi, it just doenst seem to start up :/ already tried most of the things :/
Rebooted a dozen times, manually ran all the commands, no errors whatsoever but the wifi doesnt pop up in the Network settings, already tried profzei's wifi scripts but same thing, it just doesnt work. In the meantime i really think it got something to do with my Home Network?

CubeEON, I'm having the EXACT same issue! I have tried four different methods trying to get the WiFi to work, and no matter what I do, I can never get the WiFi to show up in the Network settings! I'm completely lost...

I'm having similar issues.

Seems like in your case there is an error with copying the .kext to the /tmp folder. Do you have the .zip and the Scripts in the same folder, this should solve your problems :)

[WhenKittensATK]

Yes all the files are in the same folder.

[gnodipac886]

are you all still having problems?

[WhenKittensATK]

Yes I'm still having issues with the script. It's outputting errors like it doesn't see the files.

[EncryptedCurse]

Even without the script, I can't get it working at all. After manually editing the network name and password, I ran this:

sudo chmod -R 755 AppleIntelWiFi.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleIntelWiFi.kext
sudo kextload AppleIntelWiFi.kext

Nothing shows up in the menu bar icons or in System Preferences. Are there any other prerequisites (e.g. Clover config edits or kexts that I may have missed) that are needed for the WiFi to work?

[WhenKittensATK]

I got it to work following profzei's guide a few days ago.

The kext provided by the repository did not work for me, and neither did the latest version. In the latest version, the computer is able to scan for WiFi networks, however, it fails to connect to any network.

On the other hand, itlwm works perfectly for me, even if I load it directly from Clover. Also itlwm has more recent activity than AppleIntelWifi. The only downside is that I must manually input the SSID/password in the kext.

[alex-spataru]

Update: you can use HeliPort to manage the WiFi connections with itlwm without the need of modifying the kext. However, the project is still in an early development stage. If you don't want to compile the project by yourself, a build from 23/Jun/2020 is available here.

Im facing the same issues here. zip error: Nothing to do! (try: zip -r -q AppleIntelWiFi.kext-0523.zip . -i AppleIntelWiFi.kext)
