How to Fix Getting ready for an Upgrade + Big Sur
Network issues on Hackintosh or unsupported Macs are typically caused by chipset incompatibility, incorrect kext pairing, or corrupted network preferences.
Quick Fix Steps
- Identify your network chipset: Open System Information > Wi-Fi/Bluetooth or use Hackintool to find the exact controller model.
- Use the correct kext: For Intel Wi-Fi use AirportItlwm, for Broadcom use BrcmPatchRAM, for Ethernet use IntelMausi or RealtekRTL8111.
- Reset network preferences: Delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and reboot.
- Check privacy settings: Go to System Settings > Privacy > Location Services and ensure it is enabled.
Verification
- Wi-Fi connects automatically after reboot.
- Bluetooth pairs and remains connected.
- Location Services works in Maps.

Original Question: "Getting ready for an Upgrade + Big Sur"
Hey guys,
it's been a while since I updated my Hackintosh. I thought now is the time since Big Sur is coming up next Monday. I have some questions maybe you guys can help me with.
This is my setup:
- 3,41 GHz Intel Core i7
- 16 GB 2133 MHz DDR4
- Radeon RX Vega 56 8 GB
- Asus z170 Pro
- EVGA 550 G2
- Using the Apple Card with the Wifi Adapter for Networking
Can I simply upload to Big Sur with this Setup? And maybe another question you guys can help me with, is the some part I can easily update without changing a lot in Clover? For instance, the RAM shouldn't be a problem, right? What about a new mainboard?
Thanks a ton for your help!
