Sadly Clover-Configurator cannot handle this entry and seems to overwrite it on manual save...
Is there another option of placing this fix?

EDIT: however it seems to work without the .plist-entry now - strange...

Hey @Feartech , I have the same BCM4352Z as Miszel but can't make wifi to work, only bluetooth.
Have enabled all kexts needed, but still no success.
Attached my Opencore 0.66 Folder.
macOS 11.2 Big Sur
Note: there are some patches regarding IC2 Trackpad debuging.
Thanks

missing AirportBrcmFixup.kext in your kexts folder

also add brcmfx-driver=2 to boot arguments

I deleted the AirportBrcmFixup.kext somehow before send you the files but it is there for sure.
Added the brcmfx-driver=2 boot argument but still nothing. (Also tried brcmfx-alldrv boot argument.)

I used itlwm kext before, for Intel wifi. Could it messed up my network configurations? There is no wifi on my network preferences.

Already tried to reset my network configurations but not sure if Big Sur used a backup to reload the old config.

And another strange thing: DPCI Manager can't find the Broadcom device on the PCI list.

I made a revision of the applied patches before send you new files. I don't exactly why it happens, but the brcmfx-driver=2 boot argument seems to be not saved on the config.plist file at the first time. (I suspect a NVRAM issue.)

So, I did ensure the boot argument was applied and rebooted the system. At the first reboot, the wifi icon on the top right started to flash, like looking for a network, altough find nothing. At this point, there was no wifi on the network configurations and it keep flashing even turning wifi off.

From the second reboot and so on, the icon didn't flash anymore. For now, I reset NVRAM at every opencore reboot.

The attached config.plist has both brcmfx-driver=2 and brcmfx-alldrv boot arguments, but I tried each one at a time.

The zip file also has a copy of my ioreg.

Do you mean putting AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector.kext BEFORE AirportBrcmFixup.kext?

It's about power management/sleep kernel panics on some Ice Lake laptops (like mine). See here.
