Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]

Thank all the experts in advance for any help and advices:

long story short:
I recently turn a Dell Latitude 4390 Core i 3 in to a hackintosh. But at initial conversion I have not receive the DW1830 wifi card nor the just in case backup purchase: BCM94360NG card.

upon receiving both cards i found that both DW1830 and BCM94360NG fail to have BT function recognised by my built of 10.15.4 .

Since both card has the same issue, does that mean it is only that I did not inject a Kext or else?

What are the best course of action to fix this issue?
Should I inject the kexts first or
simply mask the pins of 54/56 for a try first?

thank you very much.
 
Hi everyone! hope you're all doing great. I managed to install Catalina in my pc, and everything works just fine after a few DSDT patches. The only thing that is not working is my wifi. I have a Broadcom 4322AG. I've seen some kexts around for it, but they are all for El Capitan and Mavericks. Saw some not that clear info for Sierra. My question here is, is it possible to make it work? I know there are some 2009 MBPs with my same wifi card, but of course those are not supposed to get Catalina. Does it only work in those systems then?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Have a nice one!
 
Hi Everybody! I have a Hackintosh build on Z390 I AORUS PRO WIFI. I replaced the wifi card on the board to BCM94360NG. wifi and BT till doesn't work and cart can't be detected in hardware. I did everything from Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide] but nothing changed.

If anybody has any ideas on how to fix this issue please let me know!

Thanks!
 
This makes so much sense! Thanks for the info!
That's why the system can't see the cart. This motherboard has only one PCI-E slot so the only way for me will be USB dongle.
Any suggestions?

The way Airdrop works is that the bluetooth negotiates the connection, and the wifi does the transfer. If the devices are not on the same wifi network, an ad-hoc wifi connection is created. That might function somewhat differently, so you can try ensuring that both devices are on the same ESSID and same band (hold option while clicking wifi menu to check whether the band is 2.4 ghz or 5 ghz).
 
Hello, I have Broadcom BCM94352Z installed in Lenovo ThinkPad E580. With appropriate kexts both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are working, but BT4.0 devices cannot be connected while Wi-Fi is on. If turn off Wi-Fi and then connect BT4.0 device it will work. But when turn Wi-Fi back on, BT4.0 will work with interference (mouse pointer is laggy). For BT3.0 devices there is not such problem.
Any thoughts how this can be fixed?

Nevermind, I just rebranded it using Ubuntu 10.10 and now it is recognized natively as Airport Extreme.
