Thinkpad t460 intermittent wifi

Hello there!

Installed High Sierra on a Thinkpad t460, everything works flawlessly except the wifi.

Since the native wifi card is intel it is not supported by apple so I swapped the internal wifi card with a Broadcom 94352z.m2 card + installed the right kexts.

If i run a ping command in the terminal, once in a while i will have timeouts and after 5 mins the wifi connection will be gone (wifi will actually still be active but no packets are transmitted), i will need to turn the wifi off and back on. Then it'll work for 5 more mins, until i turn it off and on again.

Where can I check to troubleshoot this issue?

I know that there is a log file in var/log/something but i'm not entirely sure what to look for or where i can find the cause of the problem.

In my opinion i think the issue is that either the kexts were not properly installed or i'm missing some, or maybe something in the config.plist is off.

Let me know if anything! Cheers!
