Fixing Wi-Fi On Hackintosh macOS Sierra
So, the first thing you need to do is to mount your EFI partition from your Bootloader. Use the EFI Mounter application provided in the downloaded folder.
Open the EFI Mounter and Select your EFI Partition Disk, in my case it is disk1s1 and Click OK.
When asked “Would you like to mount or unmount the EFI partition” Click on Mount.
When your disk is mounted, you should be able to see your EFI partition folder.
Then you want to go to EFI >> CLOVER and open config.plist file. (Right-click >> Open With >> TextEdit)
Open the config.plist file and you want to find KextsToPatch.
Then you’re going to add the Text provided in the Wi-Fi (Add to config.plist [Clover]) >> Text to Add File. (Check the Downloaded Folder). Copy the Text from the File and Paste it between the <array> </array> Tags (Do not Delete any other text or tags, Just paste the text provided). I pasted it just before the end of my </array> Tag.
Now Save your config.plist file and shutdown and restart your Hackintosh. Do not restart your macOS sierra Hackintosh as it will load wrong/old Kexts.You should now have the Wi-Fi working properly on your macOS sierra Hackintosh. You would be able to see the Wi-Fi card being detected by Hackintosh.
