How to Fix Thinkpad T440s macOS Catalina success!

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Verify your network controller model (Intel, Broadcom, Realtek).
  2. Ensure the correct kext (e.g., AirportItlwm or BrcmPatchRAM) is loaded in your config.
  3. Clear network interfaces and reset NVRAM if changes don't apply.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

From what I can tell everything such as cpu (Intel Core i5-4300U, power management works), gpu (Intel HD Graphics 4400 Metal supported), WiFI and bluetooth (Intel AC7260), audio (ALC292 , used voodooHDA and it works great), battery is a work in progress, brightness works but using a tool you can use your keyboard shortcut of choice mine is brightness up = ctrl + PgUp, and brightness down = ctrl PgDn. The app I used is in the App Store Brightness Slider. Trackpad (regular using voodooPS2 acidethera's version and modding info.plist for mode 0 (disable force touch) multitouch works, camera works, iservices works though Find My has issues playing sound, and fan works through BIOS. Big Sur is not a good OS for this system unless you are very talented.
