I have a Dell Latitude 3340 with a successful 10.11.2 install using Clover. Wifi/BT card was replaced with a Dell DW 1560. The wifi is working but Bluetooth is not showing up in System Report. I tried to use install BrcmPatchRAM2.kext along with BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext or BrcmFirmwareData.kext, but they are not working because it seems BrcmPatchRAM2 isn't loading. When I run the permission fix and rebuilding cache, BrcmPatchRAM2 isn't showing up.

$ sudo ./permission.sh
rebuilding //System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel
kext file:///Library/Extensions/DisableTurboBoostBattery.kext/ is in hash exception list, allowing to load

I tried installing BrcmPatchRAM2.kext via kext wizard but that of course didn't fix the problem. Next I wanted to try BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, but I don't know how to build or compile it. What else can I try? Need some help.

Likely a USB problem (the ioreg shows no BT on the USB bus).

You can also verify by looking at System Information->USB.

Thank you for the quick reply RehabMan. This is a M.2 wifi/BT combo card. would it still show up under usb? I'll take a look at the guide regardless.

Bluetooth is on USB.
 
You rock RehabMan! Bluetooth is working now! Since I just recently got through getting USB 3.0 working for my desktop on El Capitan, I took some notes. Following those notes, plus using the BrcmFirwareRepo and RAM2 kext, it worked! Here's what I did in case anyone else runs into the same issue:

Install FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext from the latest distribution here. https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fake-pci-id/downloads and USBInjectAll.kext from the latest distribution here. https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-usb-inject-all/downloads Put them in /Volume/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11... on your system boot drive. (I had to create 10.11 directory since it was removed during install for Latitude 3340) This is done by opening Clover Configurator, mount EFI and dragging and dropping them to the directory.

Then with the EFI mounted, double click on config.plist to load the config to Clover Configurator, go to Acpi, under the DSDT -> Patches, click on the small "+" sign to the bottom right of the box to add patches. 2 are needed.

Comment Find* Replace
Change EHC1 to EHC01 45484331 45483031
Change EHC2 to EHC02 45484332 45483032

go to Boot section, in the Custom Flags box, add: (this part was necessary for my Desktop, so I did it for my laptop without checking if it worked without it)
-uia_exclude_hs

File -> Save. Then close clover configurator. Click away the warning about not able to save different versions. After reboot, I can see the USB section had the bluetooth listed, but nothing under bluetooth section in system report. At this time I was using BrcmFirmwareData.kext in /EFI/Clover/kext, so I removed those and tried BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext next.

Copy BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext to /S/L/E from here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM then run the permission fix.

This time, I finally see BrcmPatchRAM2.kext on the screen, vs perviously it was absent. I also saw the bluetooth section in system report populated immediately after rebuilding the cache. I restarted the system regardless. Now I'm playing audio via my BT speaker. :D
 
10.11 has SIP protection, so your kexts can't be loaded. Add following above SMBIOS section in config.plist:

Code:
<key>RtVariables</key>
<dict>
<key>BooterConfig</key>
<string>0x49</string>
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x13</string>
</dict>
 
Do I still need that section if it's currently working? Or is this for future changes? Right now, I already have that section, and it says:

<key>RtVariables</key>
<dict>
<key>BooterConfig</key>
<string>0x28</string>
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x67</string>
</dict>

Post #5 clearly indicates SIP is already disabled.
 
^ I have the same DW1560 wifi card and problem with a dell xps 13. It doesn't look like BrcmPatchRAM2 is loading. I have both the BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext in the /L/E folder (installed using kextbeast). The bluetooth module is showing up on the USB 3.0 bus, but no bluetooth.

I'm doing a clean install now and will see what happens. I'm using your standard config.list for intel 520 graphics.
