MacPro 5,1 (2012) shows no WiFi networks #198

After installing Big Sur 11.2.1 via the way described in the readme (already done it with Big Sur 11.0 two months ago where everything worked fine), running "patch-kexts.sh" in the Terminal (same messages as before with v11.0) and rebooting, my MacPro 5,1 (2012) shows the WiFi option but doesn't show any networks. Manual WiFi connection when I enter SSID is also not possible (network not found). Ethernet connections work fine.

Does anyone have the same issue with 11.2? (As said above 11.0 worked fine by using the mojave-hybrid patch).

OK, got it working now. I found out that in the system report all networks were shown, but not in the WiFi application. I deleted the standard environment, also WiFi history and sorted the WiFi service to the top and after a few seconds, the networks showed up. Didn't find the exact cause for this error though....
