A note from @dhinakg to read before using OCLP: https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/pull/1077#issuecomment-1646934494 "Hackintosh notes While the project is designed for legacy Mac hardware, we know the community is quite interested in our development of Broadcom patches. For those who wish to use the Broadcom patches on non-standard machines such as Hackintoshes, see below: Enabling Patching support for modern Broadcom Cards (Click to Expand) To use our current patches, you'll need to ensure the following: System Integrity Protection is set to 0x803csr-active-config | data | 03080000 Reset NVRAM or add csr-active-config to Delete to ensure the new variable is set AMFI is disabled boot-args | string | amfi=0x80 or you can use AMFIPass.kext to avoid using the amfi=0x80 boot argument which disables AMFI completely. Secure Boot Model is set to Disabled Following kexts are blocked: com.apple.iokit.IOSkywalkFamily Set the Strategy of the blocked kext to "Exclude" (Reference) Set MinKernel to 23.0.0 to ensure patches only apply on Sonoma Following kexts are injected: IOSkywalk.kext IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext Kext has a child, AirPortBrcmNIC.kext, ensure this is injected as well Set MinKernel to 23.0.0 to ensure patches only apply on Sonoma Once these are injected, you can run OpenCore-Patcher's Post-Install option and root patch. On reboot, Wireless support should be restored assuming your machine was configured correctly to the above." Wireless Kexts.zip
