Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]

You have to remove the Mobo to get at the remaining screw underneath, that holds the CNVi to the board. Not difficult, but a pain to disassemble all the parts and pieces.

I have an issue where my DW1820A is not working properly. I have 802.11A, but no 802.11AC connectivity, and while bluetooth technically works, it doesn't function properly (it won't actually complete a pairing session). I am running 10.13.6. Everything else works great. Debug is attached. Thanks for helping!

Usb is configured properly. If you look at the boot log, it's loading the SSDT for Usb port injection. All my USB devices are showing in IOREGExplorer. And my Bluetooth module is showing up there as well, on HS10. I have no USB patches loading in Clover either. Those Kernel messages are innocuous. But Bluetooth still isn't working right.

while bluetooth technically works, it doesn't function properly (it won't actually complete a pairing session)

Interesting conclusion, no suggestions.

So, I did some digging. Those USB messages are due to my Chicony Webcam not being supported, but I can confirm it does work. Still having bluetooth issues though. I started from scratch, and still having the same issue. I attached latest debug.zip as well.
