⚠️ Important: This guide works for macOS Sonoma and later versions. Apple dropped native Broadcom Wi-Fi support in Sonoma. This requires OpenCore and kext injection to work.
1. Download Required Kexts
- IOSkywalkFamily.kext - Download from: https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases/latest/IOSkywalkFamily-v1.2.0.zip
- IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext - Download from: https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases/latest/IO80211FamilyLegacy-v1.0.0.zip
- AMFIPass.kext (Optional but recommended) - Download from: https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases/latest/AMFIPass-v1.4.1-RELEASE.zip
2. Install Kexts in EFI Partition
- Boot into OpenCore (your custom bootloader)
- Mount your EFI partition (typically /EFI/OC)
- Copy all downloaded kexts to:
EFI/OC/Kexts
3. Configure config.plist
- Open your
config.plistfile - Go to Kernel > Add section
- Add the following entries (ensure correct paths and versions):
<dict>
<key>Arch</key>
<string>Any</string>
<key>BundlePath</key>
<string>AMFIPass.kext</string>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>V1.4.1</string>
<key>Enabled</key>
<true/>
<key>ExecutablePath</key>
<string>Contents/MacOS/AMFIPass</string>
<key>MinKernel</key>
<string>23.0.0</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>Arch</key>
<string>Any</string>
<key>BundlePath</key>
<string>IOSkywalkFamily.kext</string>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>V1.2.0</string>
<key>Enabled</key>
<true/>
<key>ExecutablePath</key>
<string>Contents/MacOS/IOSkywalkFamily</string>
<key>MinKernel</key>
<string>23.0.0</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>Arch</key>
<string>Any</string>
<key>BundlePath</key>
<string>IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext</string>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>V1200.12.2b1</string>
<key>Enabled</key>
<true/>
</dict>
4. Reboot & Verify
- Reboot into macOS
- After booting, check your Wi-Fi status in System Settings
- Test connectivity:
Option-Click WiFi icon > Check Tx Rate
✅ Success: If Wi-Fi works natively without needing to inject kexts again, you're good to go!
❌ Failure: If not working, ensure your kexts are correctly installed and your OpenCore is properly patched with OCLP.
❌ Failure: If not working, ensure your kexts are correctly installed and your OpenCore is properly patched with OCLP.
