WiFi 5GHz issue w iMac mid-2011 (12.2) upgrade to Ventura w OpenCore Legacy Patcher

[theWoosh]

Hi
i've just upgraded High Sierra to Ventura (on a separate volume w dual boot) using the latest Opencore legacy Patcher 2.0.2.
All went great and so far have found no issues except that 5GHz WiFi no longer connects (can see the network but it cant connect). I suppose I should be grateful that I can connect to WiFi at all but it would be useful as all the other devices on my LAN run on the 5GHz WiFi LAN.
Any suggestions? I am brand new to Opencore but pretty capable otherwise...
Many Thanks
Andy

Latest OCLP version is 2.2.0, not 2.0.2

My 2009 Unibody MB would work in OCLP Ventura and 5GHz wifi. I sometimes had to poke it after it slept or restarted or whatever. But it worked.

Not sure what version of OCLP it was on.

if it's any help, WiFi card is an Atheros AR9380. I am wondering if this is supported at all in newer MacOS...? ANd does Bluetooth work? Is it worth me replacing with BCM94360/943602 (for instance with this kit: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006771637483.html )? Anyone have experience of upgrading?
