I have another thread about installing a BCM20702A0 USB Bluetooth adapter in OS X 10.10 Yosemite, but I'm having the exact same issue in 10.11 El Capitan after a clean install (I removed my OS X partition earlier this year, and now want to go back).
In short, I'm running 10.11.1 (taking the update last time lead to system instability, so I'm holding off for now), and my Bluetooth dongle doesn't work. It's an Insignia Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter from BestBuy and uses the Broadcom BCM20702A0 chipset. I've already tried using KextBeast to install the BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext files to /System/Library/Extensions, but after rebooting it continues to not work (the Bluetooth File Exchange app reports no hardware, as does System Information, and the Bluetooth icon doesn't appear in Settings). I've tried multiple USB ports, which all report that the device is plugged in. Here's the information available from System Information:
Product ID: 0x0239
Vendor ID: 0x19ff
Version: 1.12
Serial Number: 98588A055ED3
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Broadcom Corp
Location ID: 0x1a120000 / 3
Current Available (mA): 1000
Extra Operating Current (mA): 0
Any other ideas?
