To cut a long story short:
- For the past few months I've been running with a ASUS bluetooth USB device plugged into my Hack. All worked fine.
- Last night I "upgraded" to an authentic Apple BCM94360CS2 WiFi/Bluetooth card. Installed via a M.2 adaptor with USB connection (to an internal header) for bluetooth. All works.
- Today I noticed that my Hack was waking immediately after sleep. Tracked this down to the wrong UsbConnector type in my SSDT config (was 3, is now 255 - "internal"). This has fixed the sleep issue...
However, now my keyboard & mouse no longer respond when the Hack is sleeping. This had worked perfectly before (with both ASUS and BCM hardware).
So... can I square the circle and get my Hack to sleep *and* be woken via Bluetooth keyboard/mouse?
Note that "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake computer" is enabled in system prefs.
Thanks.
Build:
Gigabyte Z390i (CNVi Wi-Fi module removed)
i7-8700
RX 580
32GB RAM
256GB m.2 SSD
Got it worked, thought I should let you know, because this is the only post I've found which revealed a exactly same issue when I started my journey days ago.
[ ASUS TUF Z390M PRO GAMING (WIFI) + i7 9700 + RX 570 + 128G RAM + Dual 1T m.2 SSD ]
In the first place, I used a Fenvi FV-HB1200 (bcm94360cs2) pcie x1 card (to a PCIE x1 slot), which works almost perfectly, except the Magic Trackpad & Keyboard cannot wake the Hack. Of course, I also removed the onboard CNVi WiFi module.
Any way, to make it work, I bought several mainboards to do the test, along with different WiFi & BT module (Apple Genuine with different type of adapter).
After a loooooot of test have been made, it Finally worked, almost like a native mac.
My WiFi/BT solution:
- USB port mapped (include the internal one to 255, which works with the CNVi module);
- BCM94360cd with m.2 adapter (
https://www.amazon.com/dp/BCM94360CS/?tag=tonymacx86com-20) to the CNVi socket;
FYI:
- Any wired usb device could lead to a sleep failing (even if the port is mapped to 255), keep this in mind.
- On a specific mainboard, different USB port might have different power management policy (My guess), in my case, the CNVi module worked, but the PCIEx1 & onboard usb port(9 pin) did not.
- PCIE power management might have a influence, when I used to use the FV-HB1200, the WiFi module isn't working while the hack is sleeping (by pinging the WiFi nic IP). But now the WiFi is actually working when the hack is sleeping, I could even ssh to the hack, but the ssh login will wake it up.
Good luck.
