Itlwm: [HELP WANTED]ac9462/ax201/ac9560 2th gen Intel Card Supporting

Created on 27 Jul 2020 · 30Comments · Source: OpenIntelWireless/itlwm

I had tried about one week investigating how to make them work on macOS, but still found nothing. The real problem is that the card can't cause interrupts on macOS, I don't know why, I think the firmware upload functions are pretty well, but this issue makes no sense. listed problem.

Do gen2 cards only support MSI-X interrupt on macOS, if so, how to use MSI-X on macOS?
Is there something that should cooperate with cards to work, because CNVIO2 cards are special?

I have AX201 although its PCI ID should be AC9462. Its id is VEN_8086 and DEV_02F0 and shows itself as "Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160Mhz" after installed driver under windows. I'm using 10510U with OpenCore and Big Sur. Current itlwmx driver doesn't support the card. I can help to test if possible.

听到 ac9560 2nd 能用了，非常开心。感谢您的无私付出！

我用最新的源代码编译后测试的，发现还是无法使用。

我的机器是华为 Matebook 13（i7十代CPU 2020款）有以下的网卡：
Intel AC9560 (9462)
VendorID 0x8086 DeviceID 0x02F0 SubVendorID 0x8086 SubDeviceID 0x2034

以下是测试的Log等。

kextstat | grep -i itlwmx

get the following result:

_74 0 0xffffff7f85173000 0x3aa000 0x3aa000 com.zxystd.itlwmx (1.0.0) DACC3C3A-8B34-3C98-A1EC-A132C57B4EA2 <18 13 6 5 3 1>_

log show --last boot | grep itlwmx

get the following result:

感谢！现在可以正常使用了小新pro13 2020 i7-10710u ax201

moonheart on 2 Aug 2020

谢谢，AX201现在可以使用2.4g网络，但是5g网络连接不太稳定

使用这个版本的itlwmx还会导致启动时间延长5-10秒，不知道是不是个例😂

lulujyc on 2 Aug 2020

On my Huawei Matebook D15 with Intel AC9560/9462
(VendorID 0x8086 DeviceID 0x02F0 SubVendorID 0x8086 SubDeviceID 0x2034), itlwmx does not work and after running log show --last boot | grep itlwmx, I get the same results as yuhr-zz.

Heliport also says "itlwm is not running" 🤔

It's as expected in the current state of itlwm/x. In the future the speeds will improve!
