OpenCore 1.0.3 Stable - macOS Sonoma 14 - Lenovo ideapad 330S-15IKB (81F5)

While the i5-8250U processor in this laptop is compatible with macOS Sequoia, This EFI Doesn't support macOS Sequoia due to the AirportItlwm and IntelBluetoothFirmware kext compatibility. Upgrading to Broadcom wireless card is recommended for better stability and features for current and future macOSes.

• What to do to get Sequoia Intel Wifi/Bluetooth running?
  • Workaround OCLP AirportItlwm (may not guarantee stability)
  • Bluetooth is a hit or miss OpenIntelWireless/IntelBluetoothFirmware
  • Alternatively upgrade to Broadcom Wlan card
