It works perfectly till ver. 2.0.7

I have updated the below mentioned kexts to the latest versions but when I put the latest version (2.0.8 or 2.0.9) of AirportBrcmFixup no Wifi and BT no stable connection but if I put AirportBrcmFixup 2.0.7 it works
BrcmBluetoothInjector
BrcmFirmwareData
BrcmPatchRAM3
BT4LEContinuityFixup
Lilu & WhateverGreen

I am now on OC 0.6.1 my Wifi/BT card details (also known as Dell DW1560)
Vendor ID : 0x14E4
Device : 0x43B1
Sub Vendor : 0x106B
Sub Device : 0x0019
Vendor Name : Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries
Device Name : BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
Class : Network controller
Sub Class : Network controlle
IOReg Path : IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/RP07@1C,6/IOPP/ARPT@0
IOReg IOName : pci14e4,43b1
Device Path : PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1C,0x6)/Pci(0x0,0x0)

OSX 10.15.7

Is it a bug or some additional settings/kext required?

they have been moved into their own plugins, so in OpenCore you would have something like this:

use what i added, Arch sections are for later versions of OpenCore
 
Since nobody seemed to bother to supply working snippets, I made an attempt here:

Broadcom BCM94352Z DW1560 with OpenCore + Big Sur

Hi, I got it to work. What irritates me highly is that people keep referring to post that indeed point to the solution, but until this moment never bloodly posted the full XML of the config.plist or a full procedure, including the original docs. So I will try to be as elaborate as I can. I...

Works for my DW1560 . I hope others will take a bit of time to copy things like that, not much effort and very helpful if you ask me.
Mind that since it's so hard to find proper and complete documentation, I might be missing something or doubling up, but it works like a charm.
Thanks for the hints and happy hacking!
