    How-To Bluetooth 5.0 USB Dongle [guide]

    Thanks for sharing your findings. I tried that method, patched the IOBluetoothFamily.kext but it did not work, I had the sames issues as with the unpatched version. I ended up getting a BCM94360CD and the PCIe adapter, and everything works as expected.

    Intel Network adapters on OS X: Small Tree drivers

    Thanks @Squuiid I was able to make this work with the same Intel NIC (X520-DA2). Only difference is that I'm using a real Mac Pro (2013) and the NIC is actually connected via Thunderbolt using the AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Box. So far this is the cheapest way of adding a 10Gbe NIC to a Mac.
