Description Hello itlwm developers!

Can we add some obsolete Broadcom wifi cards into itlwm kext to use Internet from Recovery Or someone give me a hint to do that?

Since Apple removed support for a lot of Broadcom wifi cards in the latest macOS, I think that we have to find a way to use Broadcom Wifi card in Recovery mode, or even use the card without disabling SIP and installing patches.

I see OpenBSD does have support for Broadcom 943602 Bug Report Archive None

Kext Download Source None

This might almost constitute an enditely different kext, no?

Also, project is dead.

I have done this last year, but not open source, because only full-mac devices supported. maybe open source if I am available.

Yes, there are a lot of full-mac devices that openbsd supporting

I think that we can update the build target to build Broadcom device alongside with Intel device to reduce bundle size (if possible), eg: itlwm.kext and bcmwm.kext
