Are there any compatible WiFi 6E cards yet? What chipset are they using in the new 6E equipped Macs?
I will try this weekend.Hi,
Somebody did try to upgrade to Sonoma here ?
You are correct, Sonoma eliminated WiFi in Broadcom cards, and there are no replacement compatible cards at this time. The onboard Intel cards work but WiFi implementation is in its very early days. The Airport kext is being called “Preview 5”.Updated to Sonoma and things seem stable so far except for one thing: apparently Sonoma dropped Broadcom wifi support? I'm running the Dell DW1830 BCM943602BAED Broadcom m.2 card and I don't have the option to even turn on wifi. Bluetooth is working however. Guess I'll have to dig around and see if there is a newer compatible m.2 wifi/bluetooth card. I know there is the whole legacy patcher thing that can possibly make it work but I don't really want to turn off all the security and deal with that every update.
The third option, which isn't perfect either, uses a USB wifi adapter and the Chris1111 method for Sonoma. These are all Realtek based. I posted a thread on this some time ago. Has gotten a lot of views since January 2022.Sonoma eliminate WiFi in Broadcom cards and there are no replacement compatible cards at this time.
