THIS BRANCH IS HIGHLY WIP, USABLE, BUT KEEP IT IN MIND THAT IT'S HEAVILY AMEND AND FORCE PUSH AND I WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBLE IF THIS BRANCH BREAK SOMETHING, OR EVEN WIPE YOUR HARDDISK CLEAN
This guide is only for the Lenovo ThinkPad T480. I am NOT responsible for any harm you cause to your device. This guide is provided "as-is" and all steps taken are done at your own risk.
💻 My Hardware
These are the Hardware component I use. But this OpenCore configuation should still work with your device, even if the components are not equal.
Check the model of your WiFi & Bluetooth card. Intel cards should be compatible with itlwm (or AirportItlwm). If your card is from another manufacturer, please check if your card supports macOS. macOS Sonoma no longer supports Broadcom Wifi cards.

🛜 Intel Wi-Fi Patch for macOS Sequoia
Intel Wi-Fi does not work on macOS Sequoia unless you install this patch.
Credit to ResQre for these instructions
What you need
- Intel Wi-Fi Card (of course)
- Hackintool (for device path) + your favorite plist editor (in my case, OCAuxiliaryTools)
- OpenCore Legacy Patcher
-
Open Hackintool and go to the Pcie menu, look for where it says "Intel Wireless" (in my case, Wireless 8260).
-
Open a .plist editor (in this case, we'll use OCAuxiliaryTools), add the device path (without #), then add the following device details:
| Key | Data Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
| IOName | String | pci14e4,43a0 |
| compatible | String | pci106b,117 |
| device-id | Data | A0430000 |
| device_type | String | Network Controller |
| model | String | BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter |
| name | String | pci14e4,43a0 |
| pci-aspm-default | Number | 0 |
| subsystem-id | Data | 17010000 |
| subsystem-vendor-id | Data | 6B100000 |
| vendor-xt | Data | E4140000 |
It should look like this:
Press save and reboot (no need for setting the kext up since it's already presented inside of the efi.)
- If you done the setup correctly, you should be able to install the OCLP root patch.
- Install the patch, then you can remove the spoof id (or add the # instead) and Intel Wi-Fi should work without the need for Heliport.
