Installing Wireless USB Adapter Driver leads to Unbootable PC #8

Closed rgvxsthi closed 2 years ago

rgvxsthi commented 2 years ago

Hi there, first of all thank you so much for the great work on compiling the EFI and required kexts and drivers for this laptop!

I have the exactly same machine and currently trying to install the Wireless USB Big-Sur Driver from chris1111 (which should also work on Monterey as mentioned).

I have done the following things so far:

  1. Install using latest available Monterey version with macrecovery.py (python ./macrecovery.py -b Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6 -m 00000000000000000 download)
  2. After installation, replace EFI folder from USB and reboot without the USB.
  3. Downloaded the driver from Wireless USB Big-Sur Driver from chris1111 and installed it. I can confirm that the wifi works (and can connect on the last screen of the Wireless USB Adapter)
  4. Clicked on "Reboot" which is required to complete the installation of the driver, doing which leads to an unbootable device (stuck on Apple logo)

Any help would be appreciated! Running the same machine (Acer Nitro 5 An15-51) and same TP-Link USB Adapter.

Update - used your EFI files to setup Big Sur and everything works perfectly now. Thank you so much for such a great starting point!
