I've just opened my USDT machine and can confirm I DO have a connection from my BT/Wifi card to the internal USB header. My bluetooth does work as I use a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. I'm using a BCM94360CS in an adaptor in the mini pci slot. Its an official Apple Card so should support Airdrop et al - I don't use iCloud on the USDT so haven't tested it.Okay, I've ordered a new motherboard. I'll give this one more go. Assuming that I get it to boot from the msata, may I ask what you did to get BT working? I have a AW-CE123H combo wifi+bt card, which I've used successfully in the Optiplex USFF mini-pcie slot with nothing going a USB header.
Obviously I'm trying to get the whole Airdrop/Continuity/Handoff experience, and the AW-CE123H is supported pretty well.
Looking at the specs for your card on p.6 it does say "Wifi: PCI-E, BT:USB" - so I'm not sure what happened with the Dell! In my desktop 8300 I have a full PCI card and that also has internal USB for the BT - as has everything I have read.
Good luck with the new motherboard. Perhaps worth downloading a new Bios file and using a different USB in case somewhere some corruption is being introduced.
