Title says it all. Inspired by all the 'legacy' Lenovo posts lately, so I thought I'd share. This laptop was given to me by a friend. Built a lot of Hackintoshes over the years, but relatively new to OpenCore (About a year and a half). Spent a few days of compiling/assembling/patching all my ACPI/SSDT's, testing and head-scratching. Once i figured out what would work, I started over, wiped the drive and did a clean install with my hotpatches. Enabled SIP fully, and updated to 11.6.4. Main goal was stability, and proper Power Management and decent Battery life. Laptop Make and Model: Lenovo T530 - new 9Cell (94wH) Battery, 512GB PNY SSD. CPU: i5-3320M/IvyBridge GPU: Intel HD4000, framebuffer patched (_/VID.0 to GPU0, and AAPL,ig-platform-id 04006601) 1600x900 internal, and External Mini-DisplayPort (2560x1600, only tested at 1080p) RAM: 8GB DDR3/1600MHZ Audio Codec: Built-In, Realtek ALC269 (Layout:40) Ethernet Card: Built-In/Intel Gigabit(Lewisville 8257xLM) Wifi/BT Card: Intel 6205/Broadcom 20702 (AirDrop sporadically works, waiting for a new BCM Card) Touchpad devices: Built-in, crappy synaptics 'clunk-pad' (no multi-touch), and backlit Lenovo Keyboard. All hotkeys working correctly. BIOS revision: 2.77, using 1vyrain to remove Battery/Wifi Whitelist, and extra ACPI options (huge help!) Guides used: Dortania, of course!, The best, and ONLY guide as far as i'm concerened. Plus lots of googling. What's working: Almost everything, iServices, Sleep, even FireWire/DV Capture in iMovie. What isn't working: Hibernate, Nvidia DGPU/Optimus (Obviously). Express Card Slot (but I haven't tried yet). Handoff works sporadically, waiting for a new Wireless Card.
Can't emphasize enough for anyone new - take the time and get a basic understanding of how ACPI tables work. Tools used - OpenCore 0.7.8, ProperTree, ssdtprgen, iASL (MaciASL), SSDTTime, and Hackintool for exploring the Hardware and IOReg. i'm averaging 2:45 on battery; for reference - it's roughly 4 in Windows, and less than 2 in Kubuntu 22.04

It's actually more to do with the type of Bluetooth Card, than the WiFi. My Bluetooth is already supported (Built in Broadcom 20702) via BlueToolFixup. I've been down this road before with the BCM94322 (Or Dell DW1510) on a SandyBridge Machine. It's a crapshoot, and the 'fix' for me in the past was to stick to Catalina, where it all works with minimal patching.
