ABWB Wifi & Bluetooth Card keeps preventing sleep :(

Just so you guys know running this in terminal will output the reason for wake
Code: 
log show --style syslog | fgrep "Wake reason"
 
Struggled with this for nearly a month. Finally gave up and got a Fenvi FV-T919, which I understand uses an older model bluetooth adapter, but at least the system stays asleep. This confirms that its something with the card ABWB card/BCM943602CS adapter (or some combo of that card with my hardware) thats the cause of the issue. I'm using an old ASROCK X58 Deluxe mobo and am on macOS 10.12.4 if that helps anyone in future...

I gave up a while ago, plus I had to go back to using HD530 GPU so sleep wouldn't have worked anyway...

Though now that Nvidia are releasing Pascal drivers, my 1070 will work :D This means I want to go back to sorting my hackintosh out!

Glad to know that that card works for you - is this with the USB header connected?

It's £39 on eBay UK so I'm just gonna get that and hope for the best.
I appreciate the feedback!

Yep with the USB header connected. Experiencing other sleep issues though (my system keeps waking up every 2 hours and then sleeps after a minute again. Which would be fine except after approximately 7 sleep-wake cycles it'll wake up but freeze and requires a reboot - this may or may not have anything to do with the Fenvi card so YMMV. Actually if you get the Fenvi card would appreciate hearing your feedback too on whether you have the same issue or not)

I'll report back if I do! I didn't realise the card would be shipping from Asia so I'll have a long wait anyway. I'm half tempted to just go without bluetooth to be honest. I don't even use it! I just like the warm and fuzzy feeling of seeing Hand-Off/Continuity prompts :p

Bit more expensive, but could have gotten it from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M997EKF/?tag=tonymacx86-21



Totally understand - got Apple Watch Auto unlock working too which is nice ;)

I didn't actually order it in the end - I'm easily distracted! I'll grab one from Amazon I think. Before I do, do you have any clues on the Sleep issues?

After disabling the USB header for the bluetooth module my Hack now sleeps. Though if I leave it overnight then it's awake with several "disk not properly ejected" messages.

Also, it might be a slightly related issue (or not)... but the card connects to my 5ghz network but won't pick up any internet connection. No idea why!
