Latest MacOS/Hackintosh High Sierra 10.13 Usb Wifi Driver "Future Proof" Solution Using Raspberry Pi
One of the most frustrating problem with the latest macOS/Hackintosh is the usb wifi driver availability.
I have 3 wifi usb non of them work on the latest macOS High Sierra 10.13
My latest usb wifi is panda wireless however the driver support for macOS High Sierra 10.13 is still "Coming Soon" on their website, which is previously working in macOS Sierra 10.12 with driver support.
Today I discover a future proof solution by using my unused old raspberry pi 1, where now I can even used my two old usb wifi and guaranteed to work on future macOS 10.14, 10.15 and so on.
