If WiFi is not needed, just Bluetooth, can the airportxxx kexts be deleted? Will BlueToolFixup.kext be all that is needed in that case? Currently on Big Sur, we are not using Airport at all, and Bluetooth is working with the previous set of brcmxxx kexts. (This is on the "Mini-ITX 2" computer listed below, not the one at left.)add these kext:
airportbrcmfixup
airportbrcmnic_injector
bluetoolfixup
remove these ketx:
brcmfirmwaredata
brcmpatchram3

I have managed to make the wifi and bluetooth work on dw1560 and mac os x 12.0.1

Second opinion: Yes.If WiFi is not needed, just Bluetooth, can the airportxxx kexts be deleted? Will BlueToolFixup.kext be all that is needed in that case?

eliminating the bluetooth kext and adding the bluetootofixup, bluetooth worked for me the first time.Second opinion: Yes.
I could easily choose blissful ignorance, because my Prime Z490-A is only WiFi capable if and when I purchase a separate WiFi module for the board.eliminating the bluetooth kext and adding the bluetootofixup, bluetooth worked for me the first time.
what cost me the most was to make the wifi work, if you delete the kext airport you will be without wifi
For the Intel AX201 Bluetooth only the BlueToolFixup.kext plus the latest Intel firmware is needed. I've also read that using the appropriate OpenIntelWireless kext seems to restore full WiFi functionality, again for the Intel.I am using dw1560 it is a broadcom card that has wifi and bluetooth.
for it to work you have to inject several ketx.
If the correct ones are not injected, it may not work, only wifi work or only bluetooth or both.
