Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]

Hello

I have a BCM94360CS2 working properly on Catalina. I would like to know if there is a way to have the bluetooth keyboard working with clover, I just added another SSD with Windows for games and I have to plug a keyboard each time I boot it and it is very annoying.

Thank you in advance
 
I am on Big Sur 11.0.1 & OpenCore 0.6.4 with AirportBrcmFixup.kext, BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareData.kext, BrcmPatchRAM3.kext in my EFI/OC/Kexts.
For USB mapping, USBMap.kext is being used.

Wifi is working fine with AirportBrcmFixup.kext.
Bluetooth is loaded but there's no option to turn it on.

please check screenshot attached, tried to include everything
Can anyone help? Please?

Hi, I'm on Catalina 10.5.7 using opencore. I have a genuine wifi apple card with fenvi pci adapter (4 antenas). It was recognized out of the box. WIFI an BT working with keyboard and mouse, with speaker the signal is chopped. Wifi speed is ultra low compared with my MBP 15" from 2015. Do I need to put kexts or make something?

Thanks in advance.

Why should AirPlay need bluetooth?? Never had, probably never will.

I think what you mean is AirDrop...
 
Hi

I have purchased a BCM94352HMB Mini PCIe Half Height Card for my Hackintosh to replace the old Intel Card as Wifi never worked. My Machine will dual boot and works fine in Windows for botj Bluetooth and Wifi (so I know all of the hardware works), but in MacOS BigSur I can only get Bluetooth working, not Wi-fi. Interestingly I cannot see the device when I list using dspci. I have tried with my USB map and the kext to temporarily enable all USB ports. But with this card, I do not believe Wifi uses USB, it is classed as a PCI device.

I am running OpenCore 0.6.9 (I am not using clover) and the kexts are installed under /OC/Kexts as follows:

As well as the usual Whatevergreen and Lilu kexts etc, I have tried pretty much every combination (included and excluded):

AirportBrcmFixup.kext
BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext
BrcmFirmwareData.kext
BrcmPatchRAM3.kext
FakePCIID.kext

and a few others for good measure (enabled/disabled with some troubleshooting)

I have disabled the AirPortBrcm4360_Injector in config.plist and left enabled AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector (which I can share if required). Under BigSur what is needed to get the device showing as a PCI device and then what are the specific kexts needed to control the device?

Do I need BcrmPatchRAM3 (I think this is needed but only for bluetooth). Do I needFakePCIID? Are they settings that need to be applied in config.plist? My goal is to get continuity working properly so I can link to my phone and iPad.

I can see using debugging in opencore that the kexts are loading ok. Many of the posts are now outdated and are not clear for BigSur. Can anyone help as its really frustrating me. Any help would be really appreciated.

If anyone can help not only with the kexts and config.plist settings, but also, how to step through the diagnosis:
1) Is the hardware visible
2) What should I see in my USBmap and PCI device lists
3) How can I verify the Wifi

I do get the Wifi icon in my menu bar, but it isn't displaying any networks, presumably because it's not picking up the device and driving it properly with the appropriate kexts.

Please help!
 
Don't know what I was doing wrong, but I've stripped out the excess Kexts and it is all working. Must have been going snowblind! Thank you!
