I have the exact same specs and used your EFI and can get mac os big sur to boot and install but it still doesn't show wifi but has Bluetooth I have tried disabling airport itlwm and enabling itlwn but nothing any help would be great

Hi @skydiives2 I had no problems with Big Sur but I had a similar problem on Ventura. This is how I solved it:

  1. I replaced the BigSurface.kext with the latest release
  2. I also replaced the BlueToolFixup.kext from the latest release
  3. And (probably most important): I downloaded Airportitlwm for Ventura from here

After that I have bluetooth and wi-fi working on Ventura. Hopefully you can make it work on Big Sur too!

P.S. I guess, you may skip 1. and 2. and try the step 3. right away since you're not on the latest macOS.

Hi @xealstorm From what you wrote in your last comment, I guess that you run the latest macOS Ventura successfully on your Surface Pro 7, am I right?

I use macOS Monterey 12.6, and just 2 days ago, I tried to upgrade the system to 13.1 as it said in software update, but I ended up getting stuck after upgrading to macOS 13.1, the system got crashed each time after I login to it, and then restart itself.

do you have a chance to know what is happening and what should I do to prevent all this crash and restart loop?

Hey @EricKY26 I think you should do the step 3 from my answer above. (steps 1 and 2 are optional) Updating that kext should help.

A side note. BigSurface has a bug on Ventura. If you detach the TypeCover or do the system Shutdown, it will restart the system. Quite annoying sometimes.

@xealstorm Thank you so much. I'll update BigSurface.kext, BlueToolFixup.kext and Airportitlwm for Ventura.

And I just check my other kexts, most of them have a new version, so I think I'll just update them all in case some other bugs will crash Ventura.

Oh, That is annoying in some cases. Thanks for the tip.
