Note: These are the required kexts to boot with ethernet support ( no Wi-Fi , no Bluetooth ) just for the first installation.

Make sure you have connected your Ethernet cable for downloading MacOS in the Recovery.

In case there is no ethernet cable availiable, add AirportItlwm.kext ( https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/releases/tag/v2.2.0-alpha ) currently on Alpha not tested in recovery.

Add Extra Kexts from Extra Kexts folder to the EFI/OC/Kexts

Extra Kexts folder contains kexts for Wi-Fi support , Bluetooth support and Power Management for CPU and GPU sensors.

Special Note :

  In the extra kexts folder there is a USBMap.kext which is specially for this particular Motherboard
   done using USBmap Python Script https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap . Thanks to @corpnewt .
  If you don't have this MotherBoard do not add it and create your own USBMap.kext .

-Wi-Fi works with the alpha version of AirportItlwm for Ventura but it takes maybe 30-40 secs to connect.

-Bluetooth works

-Continuity works from iPhone to Hack

-Handoff works from iPhone to Hack

-Audio works with no mic support. Using Bluetooth headphones or Airpods or a USB webcam with mic ,Mic works.

Dont't forget -- OC Snapshot of config.plist -- after addind the extra kexts.

TO DO: Update Opencore , Update Kexts
