Possibly the wrong sub, but a Tahoe question

I recently picked up a late 2015 iMac for around $3.

I first updated it from El Capitan to Monterey officially through Apple, then used OpenCore Legacy Patcher to go up to Sequoia.

After that, macOS Settings showed another update available, so I just let it run. Turns out it upgraded itself to Tahoe.

Surprisingly, Tahoe actually runs fairly well. Bluetooth works, the keyboard works, and general performance is better than I expected. The only major issue is networking. Wi-Fi will not turn on at all, and Ethernet also doesn’t seem to work properly.

In OpenCore Legacy Patcher it says I have two available patches, one for networking/modem support and another for Intel graphics I think, but the patching buttons are greyed out so I cannot apply them.

I later realised Tahoe is not officially supported by OCLP yet, but since Bluetooth still works and the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth functions are on the same Broadcom card, I’m wondering if there is still some way to get Wi-Fi working.

Does anyone know if there’s a workaround for this, or am I basically stuck until newer OCLP support arrives?

And if there’s no fix, what’s the easiest/safest way to downgrade back to Sequoia?

Thanks 🙏🏼
