Does this support macOS 12.7? Or anything pre-15? #5

I'm trying to make this wifi card work on my desktop.
Just installed it instead of the ac9260.

I've put this kext in, did a cmd+r with propertree, made sure mtkwlan loads before wlannative and bt.
Boot args in the config snippet plist are present:

				<string>-radcodec e1000=0 keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 mtkfe=native mtknativeif=1 alcid=1 agdpmod=pikera unfairgva=1</string>

However no new ethernet device appears, neither does a bluetooth device; wifi in top bar is force-off, settings crash trying to view the wifi device; bluetooth cannot be turned on, etc.

Any place to get logs from for troubleshooting or is macos 12 not in scope? Maybe set a minimum kernel version..?
