Qualcomm QCNFA344A NGFF/M.2 168c-003e QCA6174A A/B/G/N/AC N N N N N N N. !\ Sonoma drops all official support for Broadcom "legacy" cards that were natively supported up to Ventura (chipsets BCM4350, BCM4360, BCM43602). OCLP patcher is now required for all non-Intel wireless cards that were previously supported. !\ Monterey 12.x does not support patches/workarounds for dropped cards such as Atheros or Broadcom BCM4322. Same for Broadcom BCM4331 or BCM43324. Such cards have to be replaced by models supported in Monterey. Kext can then be called from OC config by setting minimum kernel to version 18. !\ Atheros cards previously supported in High Sierra and earlier (eg: AR928x, AR9380) can be supported under Big Sur with a patched version of High Sierra's IO80211Family kext. Kext can then be called from OC config by setting minimum kernel to version 20. A patched version of Catalina's IO80211Family kext may be used as workaround (only AirPort4360 PlugIn is retained). !\ Intel wireless: some recent models may now enjoy support thanks to development detailed on OpenIntelWireless Github repo. copy to /L/E + repair permissions + rebuild cache (leaving /S/L/E untouched) or, if that does not work, replace Catalina's IO80211Family kext in /S/L/E by Mojave's (or High Sierra's) but this will need to be done again after each update because vanilla kexts will be re-installed. Workaround is to simply install Mojave's (or High Sierra's) IO80211Family kext, i.e. AirPortBrcm4331 plugin kext of IO80211Family kext was abandoned. copy to /L/E + repair permissions + rebuild cache (leaving /S/L/E untouched) or, if that does not work, replace Catalina's IO80211Family kext in /S/L/E by High Sierra's. Instead, install High Sierra's IO80211Family kext, i.e. !\ Catalina 10.15 no longer supports injection or caching of High Sierra's AirPortAtheros40 kext. copy to /L/E + repair permissions + rebuild cache. The workaround is to install the Atheros40 kext from an earlier release like High Sierra 10.13.6, i.e. !\ Mojave 10.14 dropped support for Atheros cards. There is no workaround, they have to be replaced. !\ Sierra 10.12 dropped support for old Broadcom BCM431x and BCM4321 cards. Please use your preferred search engine to look these up, we won't provide links since this would infringe our own posted rules. Ī few OS X/macOS-related wireless cards buying guides also exist where summarised chipset support is available. Hardware specifications can be verified here. This post will be updated as contributions come along in order to keep the list under control. I invite everyone to bring his/her own contribution and it'll be added to the list. This 2nd inventory comes to complement our original one created back in 2013 which is now restricted to cover wireless cards under Snow Leopard 10.6 to El Capitan 10.11. This new list will provide the equivalent for macOS versions (Sierra 10.12 and later) given that it's getting complicated to keep everything under a single text table and Apple has been increasingly dropping support for wireless cards since the introduction of macOS Sierra in 2016.
