[amrhaada]

Hi ,so my first hackintosh was with Mojave, when my Macbook pro retina late 2012 finally gave out, i took out the wifi/bluetooth chip bought the adaptor and installed it into my motherboard.

Both Wifi and bluetooth working right away no kexts or anything else needed since it is a authentic native chip.

I upgraded to Catalina everythings working except my WIFI. Bluetooth is working fine.

When i go to System report this is what i see.

So for me, since i have an authentic chip, i deleted a few kexts i didnt need. I removed any bcrmkext or aetherous(wifi/internet)kexts. Only kept the 4(mentioned above) that i needed and made a fresh install

edit:because i was using an actual apple chip that i took from my dead laptop it didnt make sense that the operating system wouldnt recognize it. Therefore any kexts to fix wifi did not make sense. so i got rid of all of them. But that wasnt enough, a fresh install was needed as well
