I have several questions about OpenCore installation. Unable to identify chipsets, missing configs in config.plist, not understanding Dortania guide.

Hello!

​

I am sorry for my title being to vague, and for this post being too long.

​

I was trying to do OpenCore installation on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 3542, with i5-4210U with onboard Intel HD 4400 and GT 920M, and I am using Windows 10) but I am consistently failing. I am closely following the Dortania guide, but some things feel too complicated to me, and I think that is where I'm making mistakes.

​

Question #1: How can I find my motherboard chipset?

I've tried using AIDA64, and there isn't a Motherboard Chipset data at all. Tried finding it in device manager under System devices, and nothing sounds like a chipset. My guess would be "Intel(R) 8 Series LPC Controller (Premium SKU) - 9C43", is this right? If not, how else can I identify it?

Here are the screenshots of the items under system devices.

​

Question #2: How can I find my ethernet and wireless chipset, and kernel extensions for them?

In both device manager and AIDA64 it lists the following:

​

Dell Wireless 1705 802.11b|g|n (2.4GHZ) Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller 

​

So, I guess Dell Wireless is my wireless chipset, and Realtek is my ethernet chipset, but, in system information, both Realtek and Dell Wireless have "Ethernet 802.3" listed under "Adapter Type", so that brings me to confusion. Anyways, I went in the process with Realtek as ethernet. The problem I encountered is that I don't know if I should use RealtekRTL8111 or LucyRTL8125Ethernet kexts. I know that the first one is for Realtek's Gigabit Ethernet and the second is for Realtek's 2.5Gb Ethernet, but how can I know which one is mine? I've read that Googling for its hardware id will help me find that information, but I couldn't. Maybe I am bad at Googling? This is the hardware id for my Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller: "PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_06521028&REV_07".

​

Question #3: What does " YES" under " Change _OSI to XOSI" mean? If it is Boolean shouldn't it be true/false?

I am talking about the table under patch on this page. What does that "YES" mean. That the value should be true?

​

Question #4: I am missing configurations under PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0), so I can not follow the guide. What can I do about this?

​

Once again, I am sorry for the long post, and a vague title.

Thank you in advance.
