@CaseySJ
Thanks again for your continuous work! Looking forward to try Big Sur.

BTW there seem to be a working Wi-Fi driver for Intel AX201 module! (https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm - latest alpha in Releases)
Did you have a chance to try it out? I'm kind of tempted but won't have time until next week or so!

Sounds intriguing. Will try it soon.

There is now a new project that makes itlwm look like Wi-Fi to the system (instead of ethernet) so HeliPort is not needed and you can use the macOS Wi-Fi UI instead: https://github.com/usr-sse2/Black80211-Catalina

Sounds intriguing. Will try it soon.

You may like THIS as well. Goes hand in hand with the above driver to allow native macOS wireless menu control, rather than Heliport or adding your own SSID/PW to the kext.

I reviewed that a few days ago, but it depends on a special branch of OpenCore that includes this commit:

This has not yet been merged into the Master branch so a special build of OC 0.6.0 is needed (or we can compile the special branch ourselves):

It would be interesting how this results. A few days ago I successfully loaded the drivers, but signal was terrible (I did not actually test speed as I use ethernet) and the card indicated RU country code on the Wi-Fi menu.

Definitely a bug in the driver as I had one bar of signal despite the Wi-Fi AP being 2 feet away from my PC.

Hey Casey!
Keep up the amazing work.

I was wondering if it’s a good idea to buy an F series cpu at this point. Not sure if the imacpro or Mac Pro smbioses are viable for z490.

Does macOS, looking for a T2 chip for certain tasks, pose an issue?

I guess investigating the imac20,1 smbios is something that’s already on your plate.

Have you tried installing Big Sur yet? It was quite straightforward after entering CPUID mask.
