Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]

Hello, my network card is Broadcom BCM43227 802.11b / g / n Wireless Network Adapter, can someone help me to install this drive for Wife?

@Lucca.Fernandes Do not post multiple questions about the same issue.

I have answered this question in two of your other posts, there are no kexts or drivers available for your BCM43227 WIFI (not Wife!) card.

Did you Clear or Reset NVRAM when you upgraded to OC 0.7.0?

Does the Bluetooth side work on the BCM94360NG card?

I assume you can't use the On/Off button in the System Preferences > Networking pane to turn the device on.

Have you tried deleting the WiFi device from the Networking preference pane, using the minus (-) icon at the base of the Networking Device list. Then rebooting the system and seeing if the WiFi device reappears in the Networking pane with the WiFi switched on?

Have you tried adding AirportBrcmFixup.kext to your setup for use with this WiFi card?

Does the WiFi work in Windows or Linux? Can you turn on the WiFi in either of those OS's to see if that carries over to macOS.

If you don't have Windows installed using a Linux live distro may be easier option, as you can run Linux (Ubuntu or similar) from a USB without the need to install the OS.

OK, so compare the contents of your previous OC folder with your current one. To see what if anything is different and could have effected your WiFi card.

You might see something if you run OCConfigCompare - https://github.com/corpnewt/OCConfigCompare, other than the expected changes, between your current and the 0.7.0 config.

Different drivers yes, but different firmware I have no idea.

Hi, I've installed Broadcom DW1560 BT wifi card into Dell XPS 13 9360 Mojave 10.14.5 Clover EFI .
Wifi works OOT but no bluetooth device found , I've used DarkVoid's Repo for this with his shell script that generated SSDT's etc. it seems I've got all needed kexts although some might be out of date.
How to troubleshoot this ?
I am a noob so please bare with me
thanks in advance for help

The Bluetooth module is connected via a USB port. You need to ensure the USB port is set to work with macOS. Have a read and follow this guide for configuring your USB ports on your laptop - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-new-beginners-guide-to-usb-port-configuration.286553/

Thanks for reply - its been tons of reading trough pages of threads on this forum and trying things out
I am exhausted and lost as I am new to this :

I have tested and checked all my USB ports (Dell XPS 13 has 2 usb 3.0 and 1 UCB-C) they all work and mapped correctly.
The WD 1560 card is recognized and attached on the USB bus in the system report and is seen by the Hackintool as Wifi and Bluetooth device - so it should be well mapped to correct USB.

But Only Wifi functions - no bluetooth at all.

My guess is that I might be missing some specific to Mojave kexts installed in Clover/Kexts/Other/ and some missing kexts in Library/Extentions/ folders for Bluetooth to function ?

Maybe I need to add any of these to (Mojave 10.14.5) Library/Extentions/ ?

BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
CodecCommander.kext

Or maybe this one in Clover/Kexts/Other ?
BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext

please look at attached screenshots
thanks in advance for any help
