**COMING SOON**

|

For the mean time follow the [Dortania Installation Guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/) but replace the whole OC and BOOT folders in EFI with the ones in this repo.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note: If you are installing Catalina or Mojave it is important that you disable Airportitlwm.kext in Kernel/Add/20 of Config.plist and enable itlwm.kext instead. Read Post Install #4.**

### 3. Enable native WiFi with the Intel card
|
||||
You can enable native WiFi on the Intel card by navigating (in config.plist) to Kernel -> Add -> 20 and set Enabled to True/YES (Enabling Airportitlwm.kext) and in 21 set Enabled to False/NO (Disabling itlwm.kext).
|
||||
### 3. Enable WiFi with the Intel card on Catalina and Mojave
|
||||
If you are on Catalina or Mojave, you can enable WiFi on the Intel card by navigating (in config.plist) to Kernel -> Add -> 20 and set Enabled to False/NO (Disabling Airportitlwm.kext) and in 21 set Enabled to True/YES (Enabling itlwm.kext). After enabling these and rebooting install Heliport App (included in Utilities).
|
||||
|
||||
Or you can use Airportitlwm.kext for Catalina from Intel WiFi Kexts folder and get native wifi on Catalina in the expense of loosing trackpad after wake from sleep.
|
||||
|
||||
**For those on Big Sur you can comfortably use the Airportitlwm.kext included as the trackpad issues after sleep do not happen on Big Sur.**

**Note:**

||||
|
||||
**1. This kext gives you native WiFi menu and enables location services, but often causes issues with the trackpad & trackpoint after waking from sleep (it doesn't work). A quick fix is to put the laptop to sleep again by closing the lid until the red sleep light starts to blink then waking the laptop again. Also it only happens when you put the laptop to sleep for a very long time (more than 2 or 3 hours). So for those who don't put their laptop to sleep for a very long time and just turn it off after use, this kext is ok to use.**
