Fixing Wi-Fi Kernel Panics on macOS Tahoe (Broadcom BCM4360CD)

Resolving Freezes when Connecting to Wi-Fi

The BCM4360CD card is a staple of the Hackintosh and OCLP community, but in macOS Tahoe, the driver handoff after sleep/shutdown is causing a Kernel Panic.

The Fixes:

  1. Disable 'Wake for Network Access': In System Settings > Battery (or Energy Saver), turn off 'Wake for network access'. This prevents the OS from trying to re-initialize the Wi-Fi card before the kernel is ready.
  2. RP Core Update: Ensure you are using RP Core 1.0.2 or newer. Versions 1.0.1 had a known conflict with the Tahoe networking stack.
  3. Manual Connection: Instead of clicking 'Connect' immediately, wait 30 seconds after wake for the system to fully stabilize before attempting to join a network.

Tahoe freezes and reboots when reconnecting to Wi-Fi after sleep/shutdown

I’ve been using Sequoia for almost 2 years without major issues.
I tried Tahoe when it was first released and it was unstable, but after reinstalling it 2 days ago it feels much better.

I’m using:

  • OCLP Nightly
  • OCLP MOD
  • RP Core 1.0.1

Everything works including:

  • AirDrop
  • Handoff
  • Universal Clipboard
  • Instant Hotspot

However, I now have a major issue:

Problem

After shutdown or sleep:

  • Wi-Fi does NOT reconnect automatically
  • When I manually click “Connect” to my Wi-Fi network:
    • the whole system freezes
    • then instantly reboots

This never happened on Sequoia.

I already tried several common fixes from previous Hackintosh experiences, but nothing worked.

Hardware

CPU

  • Intel i9-10850K

GPU

  • AMD RX 6800
  • SMBIOS: MacPro7,1
  • iGPU disabled

Wi-Fi

Question

Has anyone experienced Wi-Fi kernel panic/freezing on Tahoe after sleep/shutdown with BCM4360CD or RP Core?

Any help would be appreciated.
