I am using PVE 7.4-1 and running a MacOS Venura on it, which works very well.

However, I run into problems when trying to connect to a Wi-Fi network:

I have a Native Apple Card BCM94360CS passed to the VM, it's immediately recognized and the BT works perfectly. However, when I enter the password of a Wi-Fi network and try to connect, macOS crash almost instantly. If it doesn't connect to a wifi network it's good.

Strangely it works when connected to an unencrypted wifi network.

I tried a clean installation of MacOS Monterey 12.6, same issue.
The card worked perfectly with my other VMs such as Ubuntu and Windows11. But on the MacOS, I just can't connect to a Wi-Fi network.

After restart by itself, a panic report shows as below:
Nested panic detected.

I am having the same problem on 8.0.3 and Ventura. I tried disabling the kext files for bluetooth and wifi since the card is supposed to work natively, but VM is still crashing. My next step is going to try modifying the efi folder from nick sherlock to remove the bluetooth and other brcm kexts and install from scratch since others having same problem had success reinstalling the os to fix this issue.
 
Thanks for posting. I never got around to trying a clean install. The link you listed above does not work. Can you repost? TIA
 
is there a module that needs to be added or removed from 6.X kernels? I used 5.X for a long time but would like to move ahead to 6.x.
Anyone with skills on the detailed reason why 5.4 works but not the newer ones?
To me it looks like a Bluetooth issue but not sure.
