Will following these directions prevent OCLP root patching from patching anything else and only patch the WiFi/BT?

Yes with these 'MinKernel' entries in the config.plist as shown.

Sorry one more question are there two different OCLP nightly’s one for PC and one for Mac? Also won’t release version 1.41 work just fine it was a nightly a couple weeks or so ago.

No they are all the same, the 'Nightly' will slightly differ with some possible improvements and Bug Fixes.
If you're not sure, you should only use the official released version unless you like being on the cutting edge.
Also reading the 'ChangeLog' will provide an understanding of the latest warnings and fixes.

Is anyone else finding connection speeds very bad after installing OCLP?
I have a BCM94360CS2 in a PCIe adapter. Everything works BUT WiFi speed compared with pre-Sonoma is severely slow. Bluetooth is fine.
Will updating to the latest OCLP 142 help? I haven't upgraded to Sonoma 14.4 yet.

Hi - I haven't really noticed a speed reduction although I am and always using the 'Nightly' version.
Is there another way to speed test another (i.e Ventura or earlier) pre-Sonoma? also insure there are no changes in your router.

Thanks. I'll probably try the OCLP upgrade and see if there's a difference.
What I can confirm is that if I put an Intel AX210 wireless card in, there are zero issues. Just no hand-off, airdrop goodies! I have a Fenvi card too but haven't tested it yet.

Personally I'd go with the Fenvi to get proper Apple 'Continuity' as well as full functioning AirDrop.
These functions are quite limited with an Intel AX210 Card specially between other Apple appliances.
The one caveat with the Fenvi coupled OCLP, SIP has to be disabled to operate fully which I was concerned about.
I replaced the Fenvi with an Intel AX210 that doesn't need SIP to be constantly disabled but was dissatisfied with it's limitations and switched back to Fenvi.
If you're running an Intel AX210 Card for connection, why are you concerned with OCLP as that card does not need patching to function or am I missing something in your query?

Ah, perhaps. In post #408 I explain I'm using a Broadcom BCM94360CS2 in an adapter, and getting very slow connectivity. As this is a real Apple wireless card I'm using OCLP 130 to patch the system.
I also have an Intel AX210 and a Fenvi card in my parts box and though I lose all the nice Apple extras when I use it, the Intel card has no connectivity or speed issues. Obviously I remove OCLP.
Hence me wondering about OCLP.
