Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]

Hello!

Having some problem here. I bought the Bcm94532HMB (WiFi & BT combo), and installed into my laptop. I got WiFi to work after adding AirportBrcmFix, but no matter what I do BT won't work.

It doesn't show up under system/bluetooth or system/usb. I tried patching the SSDT, don't know if I did it correctly but I can't even see anything connect that has anything to do with Bluetooth Controller. I am still booting from my usb clover, but I installed Kext files to where they should go and removed them from usb, and Lilu & AirportBrcmFixup are being loaded cause WiFi is still working.

I have attached the IOReg Report.

I have AW-CB160H half mini card installed. When running Sierra 10.12.6 wifi and bluetooth are working great.
Have just done a fresh install of High Sierra 10.13.6 and only wifi is working.

With it working OOB on Sierra, I'm puzzled as to why it's not working on High Sierra OOB also.

Wifi working well, Bluetooth not working at all. Recognised in IOReg and System info USB but not System Info Bluetooth.
Oddly, it's recognised as Vendor ID: 0x0b05 (ASUSTek Computer Inc.) rather than the usual expected Broadcom ID...

Have USBInjectALL in /L/E with custom DDST (included in reporting files below SSDT-UIAC.aml) in Clover/ACPI/patched - as per RehabMan's guide.

Please help! Thanks

Edit..
@toleda @RehabMan if you might be able to offer any support, I'd be most grateful..

Are all of your USB 2.0/3.0 ports working correctly in High Sierra? If installing the Wifi/Bluetooth kexts at the beginning of this thread aren't working, you could try injecting Rehabman's BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext. Remember this is a simple injector and not to be used w/any of the other BT kexts (BrcmPatchRAM, BrcmPatchRAM2, BrcmFirmwareRepo, or BrcmFirmwareData) and does not install any firmware.

Remember in 10.13+ all non-Apple kexts should be installed in Library/Extensions not S/L/E...

Yep all USB ports working as expected following my DSDT edit (to only inject the ports I'm using - 14 total so just under the 15 limit).

I'll move USBInjectAll to /L/E but would that really be the problem here?

I can't seem to find BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext as it's not on Rehabman's Repo.. Any idea where I can get that kext? I tried the other ones (Repo, PatchRam2 etc) and they didn't work.
 
Hello everyone.
I am trying to enable my bcm94322hm8l wifi card by following this thread.
I can see at Hackintool PCI that he's there. I also have the wifi icon on the desktop, but it won't turn on.

Can you help me know what I'm missing?
 
Hi, I had bought BCM94360CS2 from dead iMac on some eBay analogue here in Ukraine. I also bought some BCM94360CD BCM94331CD to PCI-e 1X Adapter card for hackintosh and PC adapter from AliExpress. But it seems that it doesn't work well on my Hack. I have a two M.2 slots on my MoBo (ASUS PRIME Z370-A II), and I think that I may use one for now for WiFi/BT, and one for M.2 SSD which I plan to buy soon.

The problem is that on macOS I can connect only sometimes to 5GHz networks, it see 2GHz ones, but don't connect. On Linux and Windows it's also buggy, I need to reboot if I switch between APs a lot. No BT in any OS.

So could you please suggest me a M.2 adapter option for BCM94360CS2 with antennas, and maybe one option for PCI-E, since I don't plan to attach any PCI-E cards for now, except WiFi/BT and want to keep my M.2 slot free.
