I finally decided to try the OCLP patch for Broadcom. My mini-ITX system built with Asus Z690 and Intel i7-12600K has a Broadcom BCM94360NG M.2 that replaced the original Intel module. So it made sense to try the patch.these are my kext
the ones with min kernel set to 23.0.0 are useful only in macOS Sonoma if you use OCLP

I did Casey, but you have to remember if you like to update OS every beta..othewise OCLP couldnt be re-applied again after updatiting OSXHaven’t switched SecureBootModel back to default yet. Have any of you?
I just updated to 14.1 release and saw that OCLP auto-detects the missing root patches and asks whether we want to reapply them. With each macOS update, the root patches are overwritten.I did Casey, but you have to remember if you like to update OS every beta..othewise OCLP couldnt be re-applied again after updatiting OSX
yes if you leave OCLP daemon onI just updated to 14.1 release and saw that OCLP auto-detects the missing root patches and asks whether we want to reapply them. With each macOS update, the root patches are overwritten.
I haven’t tried this yet. I should be able to do so today.@CaseySJ Have you tried the hot plugs of the integrated Thunderbolt maple ridge?
Does this card have Windows drivers? The firmware binaries can probably be fetched from them.** Attempting to run Broadcom Wi-Fi 6 modules natively in macOS Sonoma **
macOS Ventura and Sonoma contain both Wi-Fi 6 and 6E drivers for x86 and Apple Silicon platforms.
I have a SparkLAN mini-PCIe Wi-Fi 6 module that uses a Broadcom 0x449d chip. This particular device-id is not natively supported in macOS. When I first installed this card one year ago (in RP04), the IOReg entries under RP04 were empty. The card was simply not recognized and therefore ignored.
But a couple of weeks ago Elias64Fr -- who you may remember as the inventor of the Thunderbolt Bus firmware patch for Titan Ridge -- returned to TonyMacx86 with some interesting new findings.
Elias had been working for the past couple of months on a Broadcom Wi-Fi 5 module that he owns, but which is not supported natively in macOS. The lessons learned from that effort were applied to my SparkLAN Wi-Fi 6 module.
After working with Elias for a few days, we went from a completely empty IOReg tree under RP04 to this:

We are currently stuck on Firmware Upload. Finding a correct or workable firmware is challenging. The full discussion is located here:
Unfortunately they only provide drivers for Linux and Android. And the drivers can only be obtained by contacting their marketing department, which is something I will be doing shortly.Does this card have Windows drivers? The firmware binaries can probably be fetched from them.

I followed @mariettosun’s instructions. The procedure was simple, taking about 10 minutes or less. And the results are very good so far!
