does your System sleep correctly ?

I bought the PCIe adapter from OSXWIFI and initial installation both WIFI and bluetooth are detected and hands-off working fine. I plugged it in PCIe x8 and it was fine. Then sudden the bluetooth is not detected while the WIFI is still working fine.

I tried to move the adapter to PCIe x1 slot but it still the same.

Does anyone encounter this before?

I am super pumped about this card !!! not only does it work great for my macOS but in windows 10 magic mouse and keyboard worked without re-pairing the bluetooth so one magic mouse and keyboard work seamlessly in BIOS CLOVER BOOT WIN 10 and MacOS !!!!!!!!

Also able to remove two usb dongles from the back of my pc that did the iogear bluetooth and an HP keyboard and mouse dongle.

Yeah, the card is awesome!! Forgot to mention it works in bios and windows without pairing anything! I didn't load any windows drivers, not sure if wifi works in win 10 because it's hard wired. So much easier t get macOS working without having to worry about kext files and patches!

Make sure you uncheck allow network activity to wake pc, it will prevent the wifi from connecting to the network for 10 seconds after resume from sleep and causes Apple Watch unlock to time out, if you retry it after that it will work.

But one problem i have . I can't unlock the MAc with apple Watch . I see the option but i can't activate it .

Handoff is also not possible at the moment.

Handoff and Apple Watch unlock require very specific hardware to work correctly. I couldn't get it to work with another "compatible" wifi card but it works with the Fenvi card.

Does this card work in Sierra 10.12.3? It says in Amazon that Bluetooth has problems working in 10.12.

I'm having trouble finding a BCM94352Z card to replace the stock wifi card in the GA-H170N. Amazon is out, ordered one on Ebay about a month ago, but hasn't shown up from Hong Kong. Anyone got a reliable US vendor with stock?

It works great in the current version of macOS, no drivers no nothing it just works. It allows the use of the Bluetooth magic mouse and keyboard in the BIOS, In clover Boot screen, in Windows 10 without re-pairing the Bluetooth which means on a dual boot hack like all of mine you can ditch extra keyboards etc if you used windows 10 and or wanted to change bios settings. The wifi requires no drivers as well. Windows 10 did require drivers but it was a seamless install.
