<< Solved >> Help needed to fix BT and LAN on Big Sur

[sodaman-2000]

I am trying to learn Opencore to convert my hackintoshes from clover to OC. I have installed OC Big Sur 11.6.8 on my Coffee Lake unit and it is really working fine except for BT and LAN. I have made all the ssdts and mapped USB and uhd 630 is running with 1536MB of vram. Wireless is working fine, but lan is not. When I put the IntelMausi.kext in the config.plist and then run clean snapshot it moves the IntelMausi.kext to the top above lilu and does NOT inject it. On the BT I know I need to add a kext, I just can’t seem find the right one. (I am an old far!, 81, and just need a little help here.) Sleep also does not work, but that is not a real problem.

missing your ethernet kext in your config.plist and kext folder

I know - when I put it in it just goes above lilu and does not inject.

no idea without a complete set of files

Also missing bluetooth kext as you haven't mentioned the make and model of your bluetooth....

 

[sodaman-2000]

I don't understand, what files do you need?

need to see the files you are trying to use

All I can answer is what I see from your files

make sure your ProperTree app is up to date, it's most likely already prompted you to do that.

The Bluetooth kext that I think that you can try is BrcmPatchRAM.kext available from Acianthera here

after adding your IntelMausi.kext and your BrcmPatchRAM.kext in your Kext folder

- launch your config.plist in ProperTree and do a Cmd+R / Ctrl+R (OC Snapshot)

it should target your OC folder and will inject your kexts into the correct order in your con.plist.

- Cmd+S to Save

Don't use OC Clean snapshot (Cmd+Shift+R)

Edit: first line corrected

Thanks very much! Will give that a try and let you know results.

also in your USBMap.kext, the info.plist, make sure you have set the port to 255 for your wifi card

The New Beginner's Guide to USB Port Configuration

Important Update: June 2023 From Big Sur 11.3 on the built-in OpenCore XhciPortLimit quirk no-longer worked as described. This became a known "bug", though in reality it was Apple changing their internal code, making a simple "peek and poke" to keep it operating, a difficult task. However, with...
