HP Pavilion Mini running El Capitain 10.11.6.
Got Ethernet, Intel HD4400 QE/CI, and Audio to work but still no luck with Bluetooth and Wifi

The build in card seems:
Broadcom BCM943142Y PCIe M.2 Mini Card
[0a5c:216d] HP Hornet 43142Y NGFF Combo

Installed latest BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext in S/L/E and firmware seems to be loaded correctly.

Any ideas?

Friends,

I have a iOGear GBU - 512 BT dongle with a Magic Mouse. It works out of box to pair my magic mouse but without any gestures and without firmware loaded, so I installed BRCMpatchRAM.kext v1.7. Now the firmware is loaded but I still don't have my magic mouse working. :(

I've tried it with my macbook and the mouse is ok, It's my Hack the problem.
What I should do to have the gestures working.

thanks

It is in your ioreg. It is not supported by OS X. You need to replace it.

Ok, I'm going to buy a new WI-FI Bluetooth M.2 card for my HP Pavilion Mini (to free the two USB ports used with USB to WIFI/BT adapters that I'm currently using).
The forum's most suggested card seems this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JGFA50U/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Does someone know if I can simply replace the old M.2 card (https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Broadcom_BCM943142Y) with the above new card
Can I simply connect the existing antennas cables to the new card or there is the need to replace also the antennas parts?

Thank you.
