WiFi: No Hardware Installed after Mojave upgrade

I installed Mojave on my MBP (early 2015, 2.9GHz, 16MB ram) the other night and now have issues... in addition to God awfully slow performance, my WiFi no longer works... I have a “WiFi: No Hardware Installed” message where the signal indicator should be... all worked fine before the install.


I have run the AHT and no problems were found... I have tried booting in safe mode, I have reset the NVRAM, I have SMC, I have deleted the NetworkInterfaces.plist and rebooted... none have corrected the WiFi problem (or the slow performance)...


Anyone have other ideas?

Finally found a solution, thanks to this post: Re: Mojave login UI sluggish & laggy


If you're booting from a usb drive, make sure to edit the file on the right volume. My MBP is now back to being healthy and working perfectly on Mojave... with WiFi!


TL;DR - on the native drive (/Volumes/Macintosh HD), got to /etc/ and rename the sysctl.conf file, reboot and voila!
