A working network setup is essential for a functional Hackintosh. Here is how this community member achieved connectivity and what steps you can follow.
Step 1 — Identify Your Network Chipset
Open System Information > Wi-Fi (or Bluetooth) or use Hackintool to find the exact controller model.
Step 2 — Install the Correct Kext
For Intel Wi-Fi use AirportItlwm, for Broadcom use BrcmPatchRAM, and for Ethernet use IntelMausi or RealtekRTL8111.
Step 3 — Reset Network Preferences
If Wi-Fi connects but has no internet, delete the network preference files and reboot.
Step 4 — Verify Location Services
Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and ensure it is enabled.
Expected Results
- Wi-Fi connects automatically after reboot
- Bluetooth pairs and remains connected
- Location Services works in Maps and other apps

Original Question: "WiFi not working in macOS Big Sur on BCM4352"
So basically, I set up a separate APFS partition on my HackBook for Big Sur, and it installed practically flawlessly. However, the WiFi does not work. I tried adding both brcmfx-driver=2 and brcmfx-alldrv to my config.plist, but neither have worked for me so far. I read the documentation on AirportBrcmFixup's repo and it said that support for AirportBrcm4360 was dropped. Would that be the issue since my BCM is near that range? Any help or info is greatly appreciated. :)
