I Bought This card:
BCM94360CD 802.11AC Wifi Wireless Network Card with Bluetooth 4.0 w/ 4 Antennas
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RCKZ3SU

My setup: GA-Z77X-UDH5 rev.1.1 • Core i7-3770K • 10.10 • Uni/Multibeast • 16GB RAM
My Post Installation Settings:

(System Definition Changed to iMac 13,1)

I Used this also: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...-ga-z77x-ud5h-tips-yosemite-vs-usb-3-0-a.html

Boot Log Video:[video=youtube;OatRDyoTLGs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OatRDyoTLGs[/video]

When i turned it on with this card installed, it said Wi-fi / Bluetooth was active, but it would not connect to the wireless network or Bluetooth devices.

So, I used the "Continuity Activation Tool" at https://github.com/dokterdok/Continuity-Activation-Tool and followed all the rest of the instructions with it.

system info:

(Card: 2/3 Wifi antenna's plugged, broke one while assembling, Bluetooth ✓ plugged, USB Connected in MB)

Wi-Fi now seems to work fine. But, I connect with Phone's & iPad's, they pair, but they are disconnected within seconds and it says "connection unsuccessful" on my phone. Both my iPhone and iPad this is happening to. My Bluetooth Keyboard stays connected.

My iPhone model is 4S (Sharing Calls only), but my iPad is 4th Gen So that should support Handoff/Continuity and at least connect.

System requirements for Continuity - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6555

Does anyone have any advice?

(I've since changed my System Definition to iMac 13,1, Still Same things happening.)

UPDATE: After updating a few BIOS options from here: Quick guide to configuring the UEFI on Gigabyte's 7-series LGA-1155 motherboards (My Processor also allowed me to Enable VT-D Virtualization, and I got my Linux Ubuntu Server Running with VMare Fusion)

1. Handoff Started working, From iPad to Computer and not the other way around. So, that is great.
2. my iPhone 4S call Continuity STOPPED working (using Facetime to receive and resume calls). This stopped working after i updated my phone from 8.1 to 8.2/8.3 and the option disappeared from the phone's Settings>General section.
3. Bluetooth still disconnects from iPhone / iPad (Soon After Pair/Connection)

You could try a different System definition? Maybe mess around with your USB options in your bios. I have seen a lot of bluetooth pairing issues with the combo card. I think it has something to do with the type of motherboard you are using. I have no problem with pairing and I have the same combo but some people can't seem to get it to pair.

Thank you so much for the response. I see.. Would Changing the System Definition through Multibeast possibly mess other stuff up? I mean, as long as I can still start it up and change it back if needed. Do u know?

I thought my DSDT I used would have selected the proper Definition.

I also get these USB3 errors on startup, like not getting "enough power". I haven't tested the USB 3.0 speeds yet. Wonder if that has n e thing to do w/ it.

If you have a spare hd I would back things up before you experiment. I can change mine without a problem but if it fails to start use your unibeast stick to boot from and change it back to your original system definition. USB 3.0 kext might have a lot to do with it because I have had issues with mine in the past even effecting my usb 2.0. I know the new multibeast has a new usb 3.0 kext but I have not used it because I don't want to chance messing up sleep that works perfect right now. You could try using different usb 3.0 kext around different hackintosh sites. The DSDT from clover which I suspect you are using will not put the combo card to consideration when choosing the proper definition.

Hello,
I have the same problem.
- Wifi perfect.
- Wireless Keyboard perfect.

But when I connect Iphone it is disconnected immediately.

Potential problems:
- 1. Usb3 Incorrect Voltage?, 3V or 5V ?. Maybe we need Usb2?
- 2. Bluetooth antenna.
- 3. Bios configuration?

I'm going to try solving 2nd problem.

I bought this:

I'll tell you when it arrives.

My motherboard is: Asus Z87m-plus

I'll try installing Rehabman's GenericUSBXHCI.kext https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-generic-usb3/downloads/RehabMan-Generic-USB3-2014-1016.zip for USB3 driver. I have not tried it yet.
 
Hello, same situation here.
At the moment I'm using El Capitan 10.11.2 and newest iOS 9.2 on iPhone. I've tried to connect several iPhones, but they all keep disconnecting after few seconds when pairing has been made.

Bluetooth keyboard and magic trackpad works flawlessly with this wifi/bluetooth card.

When enabling bluetooth, computer sees iPhone on device list, but iPhone just keeps reloading devices and nothing is found.

Continuity/Handoff not working at all.
 
Hallo,
I'm building my first customac and I got the same problem.
I'm using a BCM94360CD in a Z170 build running 10.11.3. Everything works (wifi, AirDrop etc) but no handoff and my iPhone can't connect.

When I delete all network settings in Library/Preferences and reboot the system it works. I immediately see the iPhone apps like Safari and it works to open them. When I activate wifi the connection is lost and my phone can not connect anymore.
 
^ did you every find a solution ?
