BigSurface VS Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter

We have WiFi with the use of a third party TP Link dongle and chris1111's Wireless USB OpenCore Adapter, fully functional trackpad with gestures with the help of BigSurface. Also have touchscreen & stylus working with SSDT-SURFACE although do not use it*

Let me know if linking the OpenCore log files would help in determining the issue. Unknown if this makes a difference but I also using the BigSurface.kext from https://github.com/Xiashangning/BigSurface which also includes a prebuilt ACPI for the Surface models.

I made use of rchiruma's setup for Monterey on this specific model laptop, which got my foot into the process, but didn't go as designed. For one, I was able to get to the macOS installer, but both keyboard and mouse were not recognized, so I overnighted a USB keyboard and mouse to at least get the OS onboarded. Once installed, I updated the BigSurface.kext that does much of the heavy lifting, which luckily got the attached keyboard and touchpad functioning, but broke USB and Bluetooth. This was causing a painfully long boot-up (close to five minutes), but everything else was functioning at that point.

I know that the Microsoft Surface 3 has an Intel i5 and from what I have read it is compatible with MacOS. I have seen that someone has made a kext for surface BigSur.https://github.com/Xiashangning/BigSurface

This was my very first Hackintosh, it actually wasn’t nearly as hard to set up as I first thought it would be. Maybe that’s because I used to run Linux. This is the lower-end model with a Kaby Lake i5-7300u, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of onboard SSD storage. macOS is triple booted with Windows 10 and chromeOS. SMBIOS used - MacBookPro14,2 What works - Type Cover (keyboard & trackpad,) touch screen & stylus input with Surface Pen (no pressure support,) sleep, battery indicator, performance modes, and device buttons thanks to Xiashangning’s BigSurface and IPTSDaemon projects - Wi-FI via external dongle, audio with AppleALC What doesn’t work - Internal Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Current Issues - Kernel panic when Type Cover is closed and/or detached (only Ventura, also happens on reboot, known issue with BigSurface)

I got the t3u, had to get https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter to get it to work

I found two solutions. The first is a kext named "BlueToolFixup.kext" (https://github.com/acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM) to make the UB400 work on higher versions. The second solution is a program that makes wireless USB adapters functional even though no drivers were available from the manufacturer (https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter/releases/tag/V16).

try this

You could get something like a wifi dongle online and then use chris1111 wireless USB drivers.... you have to disable SIP in recovery, set SecureBootModel to disabled and disable gatekeeper when installing the drivers though. But once that is done, you should have working wifi. I too use this and have a really cheap and random wifi USB dongle attached which I use for my Hackintosh and the Windows install on my system

Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter

I know you can get wifi with a sub compatible with this https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter drivers but also please check https://dortania.github.io/Wireless-Buyers-Guide/types-of-wireless-card/usb.html first.
