I did an experiment. I wanted to try the WiFi patch from Mini Monterey on Big Sur... and it worked. The current patch works most of the time but personal hotspots and WPA2 enterprise networks don't (always) work plus WiFi is just in and out for some users. This patch might fix those problems. It did introduce personal hotspot support for me, but I can't test WPA2 Enterprise and it was always stable for me, so I can't say much about the other problems. So... it's cool. (Info on switching patches at the end)

Note: The patcher isn't currently signed. You'll have to right click on the app then press open or use System Preferences to launch it.

All Changes

  • New WiFi Patch! Native-Plus is now the new default WiFi patch, the same one from Mini Monterey.
  • Possible fix for the big patch kexts error (1x127)
  • There was many dead links in the patcher that should have been fixed in v1.0.1, but they're fixed now.
  • Added a fix to the terrible downloading screen when making an installer. (It actually looks like it's doing something now)
  • You can no longer use the beta track, not enough people use it for me to justify keeping it (I haven't seen any recently), you can still download the beta installers on your own and tell Patched Sur to use those if you want.
  • Non-metal Macs can no longer go past the verify stage (instead of just a warning, it just stops them there), not like they were ever supported anyway.
  • Russian support was removed.

How to switch to the new WiFi patch

  • Make sure you've made a new installer usb, you'll get errors if you neither the usb nor the pre-downloaded patches (obtained whenever you update or make a usb) isn't using the latest version.
  • If you update to 11.6.5, the new patch will be used by default.
  1. Open Patched Sur and go to the Patch Kexts section.
  2. Click Advanced Patches and enter your password.
  3. Change the mode from Patch Kexts to Unpatch Kexts
  4. Press Start Unpatch Kexts and let it go.
  5. Once it's done, go back to the Advanced Patches screen.
  6. Make sure that WiFi is set to Native-Plus and Boot Plist patching is enabled.
  7. Click Start Patch Kexts, reboot, hopefully profit!

Patched Sur is back up! This update will not show up in the pre-v1.0.1 post-install app, so if you're already on macOS Big Sur, then you need to download Post-Install-App.dmg. For those who aren't on Big Sur yet, download Patched-Sur.dmg as normal.

Note: The patcher isn't currently signed. You'll have to right click on the app then press open or use System Preferences to launch it.

  • It works again
  • Fix the notification daemon so that it doesn't notify you for older macOS versions (I saw the update notification for 11.6 on Monterey)
  • Fix patched-sur://about-this-mac link
  • Add Arabic translations
  • The password prompt is slightly better.

(Yes this is the same developer, different username, ask literally anyone)
