BCM943602CS has working WiFi but not Bluetooth

[randombrain]

Similar to pat59's problem, I have this card working with WiFi but not Bluetooth. (The title says 94360CD, but the image and description say 943602CS.) The device appears in IOReg under USB, in System Profiler under USB, and in DPCIManager. However, it does NOT appear in System Profiler under Bluetooth, and I do NOT have the Bluetooth preference pane active in System Preferences.

Running OS X 10.11.6 (15G1217) on an Asus Maximus VIII Gene (Z170).

I have edited my USB whatsits to disable certain ports, including all motherboard USB2.0 headers EXCEPT the one that the card is plugged in to.

Attached: ioreg, /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover (less themes, SMBIOS scrubbed).

Your ioreg is corrupt.
But probably you forgot to install BrcmPatchRAM2.kext + BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext.

Corrupt how? New one saved and attached.

No, I did not forget. Still no Bluetooth recognized. I will try the "IOBluetoothFamily" kext patch and report back.

No joy, neither with the IOBluetoothFamily patch nor the patches for 10.12.1 from this post.

It was not created with IORegistryExplorer v2.1.

Attach ioreg as ZIP: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

Attach output of (in Terminal):

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

IORegistryExplorer v2.1.

Ah—I use 3.0.2. Attached.

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

Nothing fancy, including a lack of Brcm kexts for some reason:

kext-dev-mode allowing invalid signature -67062 0xFFFFFFFFFFFEFA0A for kext Soundflower.kext

BUT! When I run

sudo kextcache -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extension.mkext /System/Library/Extensions

I get more interesting results, specifically with BJUSBLoad.kext:

Your bluetooth device is 0a5c:f007. It is not supported by BrcmPatchRAM. Not sure about support in native kexts.

Okay. Is there any way of patching the device ID, and seeing if that might be enough to fix? Or would you recommend simply returning the card as not-as-advertised?

You should check in Windows to see what (if any) firmware is loaded for it.

Windows

No firmware/drivers loaded, and none found automatically (Error 28 in Windows 10). Both the wifi and bluetooth modules appear in Device Managers as "Other Devices" ("Broadcom Bluetooth Download Device" and "Network Controller"). After installing various Boot Camp drivers (AppleBroadcomBluetooth64, BroadcomBluetooth64, BroadcomWirelessWin8x64), the wifi adapter is recognized and I can see/connect to wireless networks, but Bluetooth is still unrecognized.
