So I have just upgraded to the Fenvi T919 from Newegg. Installed the card, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi work perfectly, my apple keyboard and mouse work 100% but no luck with handoff and continuity. Doing some research online it was said to add fox lan or fix airport if you’re using wireless and add some patches.. while trying to do so I noticed in my smbios I have a serial number for the iMac 17,1 but no board serial number or SMUUID. I also remember reading somewhere that you have to add some system perimeters also and mine are all black. For some reason chassis type is laptop also in smbios. Does any of this matter? If so what’s important and what’s not? What will happened if I generate a new serial and all that? Also I remember reading somewhere that the wireless or lan card has to be set as en0 or en1. Which one is it if I have both an Ethernet and wireless setup. What steps should I take to get this to work properly? I may be mixing some of this information I read about fixing iMessages but that seems to be working at the moment. It was in and out but it’s been fine lately. Any input is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Edit: This thread second post worked for me! Didn't have to do anything else, my SMBIOS was incomplete..
SORRY ahead of time for the dumb question. I have a fully functioning Dell XPS 8500 running Mojave. I'd love to add the Fenvi T919 to it to get native wifi and bluetooth 4.0. My question is regarding Bluetooth via USB. Do I simply need to have an open USB connection on the motherboard to get OSX to recognize BT? Or does the MB need to have a special "USB BT" connector? I've attached an image of my MB. I have USB connectors available currently. Thanks!
