Dear friends,

I have the Asus p8z77-v premium running El Capitan pretty well. Both my networks LAN are working great, but I can't say the same about WiFi and Bluetooth on board. Well, I don't need wifi, but I need any working Bluetooth. So, I bought USB Bluetooth dongle and it also doesn't work and I can't find any BT connections in sys prefs as well. I'm a newbie, I have no idea how to resolve this problem.

I may be wrong but I don't think Cambridge Silicon Bluetooth chips are supported. Ideally you need a broadcom-based USB. There are some listed in the buying guide.

Hi Utter,
Thanks for your reply! Cambridge's bluetooth dongles were successful launched on Yosemite with some kext, but El Capitan is a bit different and that kext is doesn't support now. But I'm pretty sure here could be some solutions to fire up this dongle on El Capitan.
