Updating Catalina breaks my Wifi booting with OpenCore

Hello,

Today I let a Catalina update go through and afterwards my Wifi doesn't work anymore.
The version of Catalina didn't change, stayed at 10.15.7, but some security update went through.
I am using Opencore.
Before the update I had Opencore 0.7.0 and Catalina 10.15.7

Before I ran let the Catalina update through I upgraded Opencore from 0.7.0 to 0.7.6 and also updated all the Kexts I have using the OCAT tool:

AirportBrcmFixup.kext
AppleALC.kext
BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext
BrcmFirmwareData.kext
BrcmPatchRAM3.kext
Lilu.kext
RealtekRTL8111.kext
SMCBatteryManager.kext
SMCDellSensors.kext
SMCProcessor.kext
SMCSuperIO.kext
USBPorts.kext
VirtualSMC.kext
VoodooPS2Controller.kext
WhateverGreen.kext


I then tested booting Catalina AFTER updating Opencore to 0.7.6 and updating the Kexts also (using OCAT) and it booted fine with everything working.

 

After I let the Catalina security update go through I have macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H1519)

BUT the Wifi card: BCM94352HMB is no longer recognised!

I reverted to my original Opencore 0.7.0 EFI folder and Kexts and this updated Catalina boots and Wifi IS recognised.

So basically I can boot and use Wifi in the updated Catalina but I need my older Opencore and Kexts EFI folder.

Does anyone know why this is? I thought it was important to update everything in the EFI folder before trying a macOS update? Instead updating my EFI folder seems to have had the opposite effect.

Cheers,

Flex
