derpuma Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 03:00.0 8086 2725 8086 0024 Disabl Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz Network controller Network controller /pci8086,2725@0 pci8086,2725 PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x2)/Pci(0x0,0x0) Looking for a Wi-Fi solution that does not require disabled SIP (e.g. Intel AX210), I found this on Github. I bought a Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz card from Amazon, and pass through the card into Sonoma: <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <driver name='vfio'/> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <alias name='hostdev6'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x07' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> Then I prepared my OpenCore bootloader with all the necessary kext and config.plist settings. Boting in Sonoma, the Wifi Cardworks just fine: Unfortunately Bluetooth does not work and I am not able to pair any device. I double checked the kext, but as far as I see, I don't miss anything. Anyone else out there who tried Intel Wifi/BT on Sonoma and had also success with Bluetooth? I used this three kext in EFI/OC/Kext: IntelBTPatcher.kext V2.4.0 IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext V2.4.0 BlueToolFixup.kext V2.6.9 And I deleted: BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext form EFI/OC/Kext. This should be basically enough to get Bluetooth up and running, but here it dont. Any Idea? What am I missing out? I guess the passthrough has no errors, as my Windows 10 runs flawless (wifi and Bluetooth) with the same XML code I posted above. Help would be nice! Quote Link to comment
RadRom Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Quote Unfortunately Bluetooth does not work and I am not able to pair any device. I double checked the kext, but as far as I see, I don't miss anything. Everything I am recently reading indicates Sonoma has issues with non-approved Apple BT devices. Sonoma is selective with BT and WiFi cards. Users report BT not working or dropping out, etc. It is recommended on one website (see if I can find it again) to buy a second-hand Mac BT/WiFi card and make your own to fit in your non-Apple product 🙂 Don't look pretty, but works. I just bought a Gigabyte 6600 XT to start to run Sonoma VM.... Which leads me to: How did you get Sonoma operating on unRAID?

RadRom Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I did find this same issue as yours in a quick search: Quote Link to comment
RadRom Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 "By way of explanation, macos no longer natively supports any wireless “cards” at all. It’s built in to the board/soc" Reference Intel devices compatibility link. WiFi & Bluetooth compatible devices list (relates more to Proxmox) link. Quote Link to comment
derpuma Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Thx for your reply! AX210,AX211, etc. eg. Cards working very well in Sonoma, regarding to this github: https://github.com/perez987/Intel-AX210-wifi6-on-macOS-Sonoma This is my card. Wifi is running with the kext linked on github above. So I guess that there is no Issue with passthrough of the card. The only part not working is Bluetooth. I am not sure what is wrong in my setup. I tried all possible kext kombinations, others reported as working. So far no luck here on Sonoma. I am currently on 14.3.1, I updated to 14.4Beta, to see if this fixes the problem, but now my macOS does not boot up anymore. Have to go back to my 14.3.1 backup. Not sure why 14.4Beta is not booting after the update. Quote Link to comment

[<--- How I found your post] From my running macOS Monterey i've updated to Sonoma 14.3.1. With the help of @ghost82 I updated all the necessary OpenCore kext and config.plist to the newest version, replaced the old OpenCore image and was able to boot in Sonoma. 1 Quote Link to comment
