Follow the instructions @ x220.mcdonnelltech.com and now it is working smoothly but airdrop&handoff.
My wifi and bt version are DW1510(BCM4322 rebranded as Apple AirPort Extreme)+BCM20702A0, in sys info under wifi shows airdrop is supported and bt LMP version is also 0x6(4.0).
In Finder=>Airdrop only shows the blue circles without setting options and there is also no option for enable handoff in System Preferences=>General. FT and IM works well with the real OSX ID's from my MBA (Mid 2011).
I found the successful cases are only in Yosemite and the solution is to fake BCM4322 as 4360, but I tried the ways are not working in 10.11.5 and even cause the system panic.
Also a tried Continuity-Activation-Tool and failed again after rebooting shows the Continuity is inactive:
