When using Airportitlwm.kext, I always rename the kext so I know which kext should be used for each OS, i.e. Airportitlwm.kext for Monterey would be renamed Airportitlwm-Monterey.kext. Then when I use the OC Clean Snapshot feature in ProperTree I don't need to think about renaming or differentiating the kext in the config.plist.
This is a screenshot showing the contents of a sub-folder in my Hackintool_Kexts folder showing what I mean.
Intel WiFi & BT folder contents
I don't mix the 2.2.0 Release and 2.3.0 Alpha kexts. I use the kexts from one version on any given system, lately that has been the v2.3.0 Alpha release as I have been installing Sonoma.
This is only when I have more than one Airportitlwm.kext in the /EFI/OC/Kexts folder, it makes life easier when setting the correct Min/MaxKernel entry in the config.plist. So the wrong kext isn't used by the wrong OS by mistake.
I don't use OCAT, not because it is a bad app or anything it's just my personal preference to use ProperTree.
Then when an EFI doesn't work I'm not wondering did the app do something wrong, am I using the wrong or too old a version etc. I know I made the error and I have to find and fix it.
I have had to reschedule switching the Intel card to the B550M system, that won't happen now till tomorrow afternoon.
