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

  1. Identify your network chipset: Open System Information > Wi-Fi/Bluetooth or use Hackintool to find the exact controller model.
  2. Use the correct kext: For Intel Wi-Fi use AirportItlwm, for Broadcom use BrcmPatchRAM, for Ethernet use IntelMausi or RealtekRTL8111.
  3. Reset network preferences: Delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and reboot.
  4. 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!
