MacBook5,2 - BCM94360CS2 macOS 12 Help

I installed a PCIe adapter to put a new airport card in my very special BlackBook 5,2. It took an hour and a half to reroute the new antennas behind the LCD cleanly where the old ones fit alongside them just in case...

Tested and verified to work in a MacOS 10.11 installer (can't figure out what date to set, Apple is the worst...)

It shows up in the system report in macOS 12 (see pic, only one readily available atm), but shows "status: not associated" and can only turn on and off in settings... But that's it. **No networks show up. I am gonna look for kexts after playing around with the settings more, but does anyone here have any ideas?**

I figured it might be a case of open core having a pre-configured list of kexts and stuff to install for each model, since hardware rarely varies much, and my MacBook5,2 configuration omitting drivers for a card that is rarely installed.

I don't know if I pulled this card from a 2014 or a 2015, and so I am not sure if I should expect it to work with Monterey out of box. *I just got everything cleaned up and put back together an hour ago (it does not look like the picture anymore!!!)* and figured I could wait for a reply here while digging into it myself.

I will update the OP with whatever gets it working, and helpful notes for other A1181-enjoyers out there.
