Continuity and Handoff Capable Apple Mini Cards + PCIe and mini-PCIe Adapters

[cheetaa]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I received the card from the Taobao seller - it works OOB in a PCI-e x8 slot. I can't get Handoff working, even though it shows available and is enabled in System Preferences. Both Wifi and Bluetooth work otherwise, including AirDrop, so I'm guessing it's something wrong on Apple's end, not the card. See this post - #17

You can try to log off - log on from iCloud services in your hack.

Toleda,

Adding the following IOKitPersonality to your injector kexts will remove the need for the "Airport Extreme" kext patch:

<key>AirPort_Brcm4360 Inject</key>
<dict>
   <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
   <string>com.apple.driver.AppleUSBMergeNub</string>
   <key>IOClass</key>
   <string>AppleUSBMergeNub</string>
   <key>IONameMatched</key>
   <string>pci14e4,43b1</string>
   <key>IOProviderClass</key>
   <string>AirPort_Brcm4360</string>

nguyenmac,

If you want a more complete solution, look at the FakePCIID Injector for Broadcom WiFi:
https://github.com/the-darkvoid/OS-X-Fake-PCI-ID

It will make the card appear like an original native Apple card for all intents and purposes.

I tried it before, didn't notice any change aside from info in System Information.

5Ghz patch is still required.

This card is perfect! it works OOB!

This card is perfect! it works OOB!

If you're trying to share your experience with others, you should probably define 'This card'...

I ordered the same card + adapter as #68. Wifi works OOB, but bluetooth doesn't. I changed the cables also but no effect. I've it tried in 2 different PCI-1x slots.

Somebody an idea?

Thanks!

Where can I find out whether my motherboard "is fully bluetooth powered"?

I'm using an Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H

thx

Will that adapter (and the built-in wifi card) work in yosemite?
