I mentioned that a few weeks ago I installed the latest version of OCLP on my 2017 Intel MBA 7.2 currently on Monterey in an attempt to install Sonoma. Unfortunately there is no support for my 43xx wireless card which is not ideal
for laptops! I've tried now an older version of OCLP (1.4.2) which may support
43xx (?) but it just stops when attempting to create a suitable Sonoma USB installer. This has happened a couple of times so I'm wondering if anyone else
has had similar issues. As suggested previously maybe I'll just have to wait for a newer version of OCLP that supports my wireless card.

What's more WiFi works :) Presumably I should NOT apply the Sonona 14.6 update rumoured to be avialble later today? Also is the installer that
OCLP creates any different to the one you can create using the Sonoma
App and the createinstallmedia command?
Never install raw updates after OCLP, and yes it's significantly different with a pile of extra drivers and the supporting scripting/prefs to allow
them to run.
