Fix Intel Wifi and Bluetooth on macOS Big Sur

To Fix Intel WiFI and Bluetooth on macOS Big Sur you have to download the below down Kext and drivers. And follow my guide to fix these issues.

Step 1. To begin this process first off all you need to mount the EFI partition. For mounting the EFI partition open the Clover clover configurator, click on “Mount EFI” and click “Mount Partition”. And enter your username password and click OK. When the partitioned mounted close the clover configurator.

Step 11. Once your PC restarted enter your password and press enter key. Then over ahead to WiFi check that if it should work perfectly. Then over ahead to Bluetooth device check that too, again if that is not working re-apply the following steps once again for your PC.

But this method works perfectly for me and now I am able to use WiFi and connect the Bluetooth devices with each other.

    UPDATE, VERY IMPORANT, and very strange: WIFI stop working as I said. I added itlwmx.kext on EFI, same location like itlwm.kext. Of course the system, after restart “FROZEN”., scenario expected by me. I removed itlvmx.kext, restarted again and SURPRIZE: the WIFI come-back and start to run properly !!!!!! I don’t understand why FROZEN action helped the WIFI to come-back to life….

  3. Hello !
    I found an easy solution: I deleted all files from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    After that I reboot the system am WIFI come-back and work.
    OpenCore is very nice, but I will implement when I will move to Big Sur.
    For now I am very confortable with Clover, and very stable Mojave
    Thank you !!

  4. Good Morning Johhny ! This OpenCore is a huge chalenge ! Now, in my laptop I have a lot of patches and kext. It is totally functional, except AirDrop and Bluetooth(About both I am not interested). The system is Mojave. What I should understand: IF I will install Big Sur on a new laptop, with compatible CPU of course, compatible WIFI module, etc, this Opencore will be able to find necessary kexts, and patches, will install all and the result will be a compatible hackintosh laptop with full HD, battery management, and active WIFI ? It is so smart OpenCore ? Thank you very much for answer
