Apologies if this the wrong place to post (kindly direct me elsewhere if so )
I am a noob trying to get a ASUS BT400 working with a MacBook for the first time. My MacBook is running macOS Ventura 13.1.
I am using the Mac specific instructions from `acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM` here...
So far I've done the following:
- Connected the ASUS BT400 directly to the MacBook via USB (had to use a USB-A to C adapter obvs)
- Disabled System Integrity Protection (confirmed in System Information)
- Copied BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext from the v2.6.4 release (BrcmPatchRAM-2.6.4-RELEASE.zip) into `/Library/Extensions`
- Ran `sudo touch /Library/Extensions`
- Rebooted
But the system is still using the native Bluetooth card (confirmed by checking the active Bluetooth mac-address)
If I run the following command:
I get
which I think suggests that the kext's aren't loading correctly
Can anyone give me any pointers?
