[HELP] BCM94352Z Bluetooth works Wifi don't on big sur

[kajaba]

I have BCM94350ZAE and my bluetooth does not work on Big Sur. I think problem is in BrcmPatchRam3.kext
What did you do, to make BT work?

Pretty sure it does work since my BCM94352Z Bluetooth works under 11.0.1 using BrcmPatchRAM3.kext, BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext. Make sure you install these into /L/E.

I have the BCM943162ZP and while I have working bluetooth, I cannot get wifi to work for the life of me. Running OpenCore, added the AirportBrcmFixup, disabled the AirPortBrcm4360_Injector.kext, and removed the pci entry. What am I doing wrong?

The BCM4316 chip isn't supported. You need a BCM4350, 4352 or 4360 chip. Avoid older chips such as BCM4322 or 4331.

Thank you, finally figured it to work!

So to sum up what I did

Removed:

                <string>Airport</string>
            </dict>

Updated AirportBRCMFixup.kext to latest version
Removed AirPortBrcm4360_Injector.kext from plugins folder of AirportBRCMFixup kext
and added entry

<dict>
                <key>Arch</key>
                <string>Any</string>
                <key>BundlePath</key>
                <string>AirportBrcmFixup.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector.kext</string>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>Enabled</key>
                <true/>
                <key>ExecutablePath</key>
                <string></string>
                <key>MaxKernel</key>

                <key>MinKernel</key>
                <string></string>

                <string>Contents/Info.plist</string>
            </dict>

I am having a same problem. Where do I need to add the dict entry? In main config.plist, or in kext Info.plist?


EDIT: I figured it out myself, it needs to be added in config.plist e.g. in KernelAndKextPatches -> KextsToPatch

<key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>
    <dict>
        <key>KextsToPatch</key>

                <key>Arch</key>
                <string>Any</string>
                <key>BundlePath</key>
                <string>AirportBrcmFixup.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector.kext</string>
