esmith1966 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I have an E6230 with an Apple Airport Card. Using Big Sur using the bootpack found on this site. I have bluetooth, but no WiFi, not sure what to do to activate it. It was working under Catalina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 11, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 11, 2021 Which model of Airport Card? It might no longer support beyond Catalina, so you might need to use kext from Catalina on BS. There's a injection kext for this.

Administrators Hervé Posted January 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 11, 2021 Apple Airport Card is pretty meaningless. You'll have to state the exact card model to get a proper answer. As Jake said, Big Sur dropped support for even more cards than Mojave & Catalina did so you may have one of those. As usual, please consult our wireless cards inventory.

Administrators Hervé Posted January 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 11, 2021 Just check the card's PCI id in IOReg with IORegistryExplorer or DPCIManager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith1966 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Fixed with the patched kext from https://github.com/khronokernel/IO80211-Patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 11, 2021 Of course, it's one of the Broadcom chipsets dropped in Big Sur as indicated in our Wireless cards inventory last December... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
