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.

Success - third time lucky! And 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.

I've turned off auto-updates so hopefully I won't fall into that trap.
Thanks for your advice :)

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Then it's a scavenger hunt.

I just wish OCLP oould stop nagging me to upgrade to v. 1.5.0 despite my turning off the option to inform me of updates! Never mind I guess I can
live with that :)
