Ventura, BCM943602CDP, Can't turn on Wifi

Fellow Hackers,

I recently had to move my office into a smaller area of my house so I found myself having to consolidate my 2 hacks and, in the process, have decided to ‘upgrade’ my main rig as much as I could for my last ‘hurrah’ hackintosh before T2 termination hits us.

I’m almost there with a stable 10th gen Intel Ventura system but am having a hard time nailing down full HandOff and Airdrop.

It seems like I have bluetooth working - I can connect to my magic keyboard as well as bluetooth headphones - all without any of the BrcmBluetooth kexts.

I have USB fully mapped.

The problem is Wi-Fi: no matter what I do, I can not enable Wi-Fi either from the menu bar or from System Preferences. As a result, I don't have Airdrop and Handoff doesn't seem to work smoothly.

I have scoured countless posts and have tried:

  • Deleting /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration files (com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist, NetworkInterfaces.plist, com.apple.airport.preferences.plist, com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist) and restarting
  • From System Settings / Network pane, ctrl-clicking Wi-Fi and "Make Service Inactive/Active"
  • Booted from OC with and without AirportBrcmFixup.kext
  • I even took out my motherboard and uninstalled the Intel Wi-Fi module thinking that it was conflicting with the Broadcom

My understanding from the Guide and numerous posts is that the BCM943602CDP should be a completely native Broadcom chip and that I don’t need to futz with any kexts period. I do see posts of regular Macs also having problems with Ventura and wifi, but as mentioned, any suggested methods I have dug up don’t seem to work.

Can anybody offer any guidance?

Should I start looking at a different card?
