Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]

Good morning
I rebooted with rplp disabled, and I still cannot see the hs14 port. The port is listed from hs1 to hs13, then ss01 and ss02
here is a screen shot:

Well that's 15 for sure.

Next, try the command-line: -uia_exclude=SS02

Don't change anything else or go back.

See what that does.

(We can try excluding SS01 instead later.)

:)

Interestingly, excluding the ss02 did nothing to my ioreg

and this is my boot in my config.plist

I can confirm that I only have usb related kext in efi/clover/kext/other, and only usbinjectall is included in the kext for usb related kext.

BTW, I also tried -uia_exclude_ss, and it was the same result as the first pic

Okay. Let's start again ... I am conscious this is a Network - Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth thread so am concentrating on the HS14 header that is used, in this build to operate the Bluetooth adapter. If it gets too general and USB related we should move this to another problem thread in General Help.

So...

The last time you uploaded an EFI folder it had an SSDT-UIAC.aml which included ports:

HS03
HS04
HS05
HS06
HS08
HS09
HS10
HS14
SS01
SS02
SS03
SS04
SS05
SS07
SS08

... but HS14 would not appear.

In your latest test with the port-limit removal patch disabled and with USBInjectAll.kext and SSDT-UIAC.aml in place, you got 15-ports as expected but not the 15-ports you had chosen.

In post #1094 of this thread, where you uploaded the EFI folder, you showed an IOReg output with 21x ports. As you had USBInjectAll.kext, an SSDT-UIAC.aml AND active port-limit removal patches for Catalina. As you had to disable those PLRpatches to make everything work, you tried this and got, at post #1107 15x ports at last BUT they were they wrong ones. This does not make any sense.

The only other consideration left to us here is Catalina security and SIP.

CsrActiveConfig is showing as 0x3 whereas 0x67 might be more useful AND you need to set the System partition as R/W for Catalina.

On a final note, there are at least two other builders who have had successful builds with this, or similar, motherboards so it isn't anything unusual. Build 1 / Build 2 .

I would also suggest as a trial - to use system-definition iMac18.3 and the older version of USBInjectAll.kext (v 0.71 instead of the latest).

Be aware that doing this will change your serial-numbers so disconnect from the Internet while you test.

Something has to work ...

Hi,

I'm using Intel NUC PC. I have installed macOS Catalina 10.15. PCI-E uses Broadcom BCM94312HMG Wifi card. I don't understand how do I get wifi card working?

Thank you

How can we use Combo Card on the other slots? I am getting trouble Bluetooth on Slot1 and changed to the Slot 4 Bluetooth working but no Wifi now. What should I do?
 
Hi there! So I bought a BCM94331CSAX w/ PCI-E adapter, but it looks like that wifi and Bluetooth doesn't see antennas. I mean it works, but Bluetooth doesn't see device and WiFi see only few networks. Can somebody help me with that?
 
My setup is working perfectly with BCM94360CS2 PCI adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VNT8Y23/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 - except for unlock with Apple Watch. The option is selected and OS allows Apple Watch to approve ApplePay and administrator password prompts, but always times out on unlock the desktop.

Is this a known issue? Catalina 10.15.3, running natively without kexts, USB is connected to a USB header.
