Hello,

I've got a HP Notebook model EliteBook 850 G1 and I've replaced the mini pci express card with this one bought on ebay:

AW-CE123H 802.11AC Minipci-express 867Mbps HP Part# 724935-001

http://www.ebay.it/itm/191465800645?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I've installed Yosemite following the HP Laptops with Clover UEFI guide and I get with that card only native wifi working (5ghz works) but not Bluetooth. Have tried installing tolida kext enabler bcm4352.kext and bcm4352bt.kext without modification but no success.

From lspci -nn -v i get:

For wifi Airdrop cannot see my iPhone. Any suggestions? thx

Thanks very much for replying. I've already tried that both with the latest probook installer and manually installing the latest version, but no sign of bluetooth. Attached the output of DPCIManager. Do I've to modify the id vend and prod in the Brcmpatchram?

I've found this in the logs:

Great thanks again, so even if the bt chip/function is on the pci express card AW-CE123H, we must look at the usb bus. Please find attached a copy of my IOReg. Let me know.

OK I don't see any option in bios to enable/disable bt, and I don't have windows right now to check. The card is a combo so bt is there, I'm going to install windows this evening because I suspect that the bt module is probably disabled by some sort of option or button on the keyboard and I'll try in windows and let you know, thanks for now.

... I can confirm that this model of pci card works native on yosemite without extra drivers.
