spectre_macos's Issues

Can it be worth to my samsung notebook?

I have a samsung NP350XAA-VD1BR.
Its configuration is:

i5 7200u
Intel HD Graphics 620
Nvidia MX110 2GB
8GB RAM DDR4 2133mhz
480GB Kingston SSD

And then is it worth it to install the Mojavi or just the sierra?

A workaround for the wirless-driver

Purely hypothetically speaking:
Because the USB is working, you could work around the wireless driver with USB tethering.
If you'd install a OS-X driver/kernel-module/kernel-extension for USB-tethering, such as

https://github.com/jwise/HoRNDIS/releases
https://joshuawise.com/horndis

the network should work.
Connect the hackintosh with your Android-phone via USB, and enable USB-tethering on the phone.
OS-X now connects to the internet via Android - if Android connects to the internet via WLAN or 4G.

This way, you could get networking to work without buying something;
assuming you have an Android phone !
