iMac 27 late 2009...need AirDrop in Monterey

[spinaspina88]

Hi to everyone!
I'm using an old 27" late 2009 with i7 and a HD4850. The OS is Monterey through OCLP 2.2.0 and everything is fast and smooth except the AirDrop function.
Is it possible to restore it with a USB bluetooth dongle or do I have to change the internal Bt/WiFi card?
Thanks for your help!

I believe you will need to swap the internal BT/WiFi card. (see table of models)

Universal Control on unsupported Macs | OpenCore Legacy Patcher

If possible, I would imagine the OCLP docs would mention. Best bet is to ask on the OCLP Discord server channel mentioned right there in the docs.
