Facts:

  • As you know, WiFi(+BlueTooth) doesn't work and there is no ethernet port on this laptop, that's why HoRNDIS.kext for USB tethering is the only blessing for us.
  • By putting this kext in your EFI you will be able to use the internet via USB tethering in recovery mode. I think, it also works in installation stage.
  • I used sonoma raw by olarila + balenaEtcher to make offline installer.
